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

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.

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

Love You,

Nausicaä

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Sunsets are so beautiful
that they almost seem as
if we were looking through
the gates of Heaven.
John Lubbock

Olivia Louis-Charles @kilimana_art

 Love comforeth like
sunshine after rain,
Love's gentle spring
doth always
fresh remain;
       Shakespeare

Nausicaä, a 114.2-meter 

explorer superyacht, 

makes a striking sight cruising 

off Waikiki here in my photo. 

Owner is Japanese art 

collector Yusaku Maezawa.

Health, time, and 

loving people are 

quiet forms of wealth.

Pixie

May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow. May the soft winds freshen your spirit. May the sunshine brighten your heart. May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you. May God enfold you in the mantle of His love. And may Peace always be within your home.

What The Easy Cannot

One loyal friend is worth

ten thousand relatives.

The steep path

what the easy way

If your choices
are beautiful
so too will
you be.

If you change the way

you look at things,

the things you look at

will change.

Brave

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

The moon stays bright

when it doesn't

avoid the night.

Rumi

Night under palms—

on the sidewalk

beside the beach,

tourist holds her pose.

Passing man looks.

Beyond them both,

the sea

keeps its own ideals.

Pixie

Chrysanthemums

As you grow, do not forget

the chrysanthemum within you—

its roots still need water,

its leaves still need light,

and its blossoming still depends

on the tender care

you are willing

to give yourself.

Please never forget

How brave it is, 

To hope and dream 

Amidst the uncertainty.
