That Truly Are

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

So many things
are unimportant.
You’re wise when
you focus on the
few that truly are.
Maxime Lagacé

In a world
where kindness
is a rebellious act
let's all
become rebels!

Don’t seek to be happy;
let everyone else chase
after that rainbow.
Seek to be kind, and you’ll
find the rainbow follows you.
Richelle E. Goodrich

Learn the sweet magic
of a cheerful face.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.

The bee teaches: Be small without

thinking yourself insignificant. Work quietly. Follow the path placed before you. Gather what is good. And let your life become sweetness for someone else.

Night Shots

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Under the moon,
even silence has
a shadow.

The night does not
ask us to understand -
only to look.

Some answers arrive softly, 

long after the questions 

have fallen asleep.
The moon shines on

without explaining.

A quiet night can repair 

what a busy day has broken.
Wisdom often speaks 

in a voice too gentle 

for daylight.

I came out for a night shot 

and stayed because

 I forgot where I parked!

The Ball Is Always Turning

I am done with the past, the future has plenty of room for change. Cyrille Dayao

Ruellia simplex, Mexican petunia

Whether we remain the ash or become the Phoenix is up to us. Ming-Dao Deng

Doing nothing at all is

often the very wisest thing ...

as the world is a ball and is turning

and everything is in fact

in motion all the time,

doing nothing is not

really doing nothing,

it's allowing things to

move at their own pace.

Rise In Perfect Light

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Though my soul

may set in darkness,

it will rise in perfect light;

I have loved the stars

too fondly to be

fearful of the night.

Sarah Williams

What's does

yellow + 3 equal?

Grid in Shifting Light

The grid holds still—

but light moves through it,

Order flirts with longing.

For one brief moment,

every square is a window

shifts with shadows

A grid of silence,

crossed by the red light

of something passing.

Even the darkest night 
will end, and 

the sun will rise.

Willing Again - Just Breathe

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

A meaningful life is 

not always a mountain 

to climb; it may be 

a path you are willing 

to walk again at dawn.

The white-rumped shama
was deliberately introduced to
the Hawaiian Archipelago in 1931

When I started

counting my blessings,

my whole life

turned around.

Willie Nelson

Now Showing in
Glorious Technicolor!

Be led by your curiosity, 

and keep busy by doing 

things that fill you with 

meaning and happiness.

Ordinarily Unique

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Ordinarily Unique

Where the ocean

meets the sky,

ordinary days

become sacred. Sunset is a

quiet reminder

that letting go

can be beautiful. Waves keep moving

colors keep changing;

the moment asks only

to be felt.

Pixie & Cloudia

Street life at night tourist town in

matching aloha wear, perfume drifts

through warm air with garlic, grilled fish,

sweet pineapple. First-day excitement, last-day longing— every evening

a new crowd, each face passing:

waves lapping the shore Vacation glows under storefront lights, and the night tastes like somewhere you

will long remember.

Cloudia Charters

A half moon rises

through island mist;

my heart is full.

If you spend time

with animals,

you run the risk of

becoming a better person Oscar Wilde
