Now-y

A L O H A

From

Honolulu

Never regret

anything you have done

with a sincere affection;

nothing is lost

that is born of

the heart.

Basil Rathbone

Here shall be
eternal summer
in the grateful heart.
Celia Thaxter

I walk without flinching
through the burning cathedral
of the summer.
My bank of wild grass
is majestic
and full of music.
Violette Leduc

Hey!
It's summer!
Be free and happy
and danceful
and uninhibited
and now-y!
Terri Guillemets

Uncopied

A L O H A

From

Honolulu

Everything that's created

comes out of silence.

Your thoughts emerge from

the nothingness of silence.

Your words come

out of this void.

Your very essence emerged

from emptiness.

All creativity requires

some stillness.

Wayne Dyer

The Gulf fritillary or passion butterfly

(Dione vanillae or Agraulis vanillae)

An introduced butterfly in Hawai‘i, established after passion vines arrived in the 1800s; recorded on O‘ahu by the late 1970s.

Tranquil pleasures

last the longest...

Christian Nevell Bovee

We are shaped

and fashioned

by what we love

A joyful life

is an individual creation

that cannot be

Pushed or Led

A L O H A
From
Honolulu

Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart. Roy T. Bennett

Even the poorest street

is rich with people on it

and even the richest street

is poor without people on it!

Mehmet Murat İldan

Heliconia caribaea 'Gold'

Almost everything will

work again if you unplug it

for a few minutes. . .

Including you.

Anne Lamott

Full Moon
Over Kaneohe Bay Oahu
by Kathy Edwards

Clouds and cloudscapes are
the greatest free show on earth.
It doesn’t cost a penny to
look up and feast
your eyes on the view.
John A. Day

Having a place to go,
is a home.
Having someone to love,
is a family.
Having both, is a blessing.
Donna Hedges

While the sun paints
the sky with color, the
moonbow teaches us to
see the magic in the shadows.
Author Unknown

Choose to be optimistic.
It feels better.
Dalai Lama

The dark silhouette

of a forgotten rose

in a forbidden garden of love;

what kind of delicate

fragrance of forgiveness. . .

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity. Jimmy Carter

US President

The one who follows the crowd

will get no further than the crowd.

The one who walks alone will

find himself places

no one has ever been.
Einstein

After the darkest storm,
beauty still blooms
across the sky,
a quiet reminder
that even sorrow
can turn luminous
in time.

To find the rainbow
you must face both
the rain and the light,

Cloudia & Pixie

Get old sharing the things
you believe are most important.
Excellence is always
its own reward, and
this is how you can be
most excellent as you age.
Arthur C. Brooks
