Summer Wandering Waikiki

A L O H A !


We are all together
 in the canoe.
To move forward,
 we must work
together.








"A business that makes 
nothing but money
 is a poor business."
            Henry Ford








"Whither goest thou, 
America,
 in thy shiny car 
in the night?"
           Jack Kerouac






"Coming together 
is a beginning;
 keeping together 
is progress;
 working together 
is success."
       Henry Ford
           






"Don't find fault,
 find a remedy."
Henry Ford
         






"If there is any one secret of success,
 it lies in the ability
 to get the other person's point of view
 and see things
 from that person's angle
 as well as from your own."
Henry Ford
                







"If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability."
Henry Ford

Mine Is The Morning

A  L  O  H  A !
"Each morning 
we are born again. 
What we do today is 
what matters most."
              Buddha




"The scariest demons 
of darkest night,

"Anyone can carry his burden, 
however hard, until nightfall. 
Anyone can do his work, 
however hard, for one day. 
Anyone can live sweetly, 
patiently, lovingly, purely, 
till the sun goes down. 
And this is all 
life really means."
         Robert Louis Stevenson

Every Morning Represent

A  L  O  H  A !  
“And the secret garden 
bloomed and bloomed 
and every morning 
revealed new miracles.” 
                Frances Hodgson Burnett,





" In their highest boughs 
the world rustles, 
their roots rest in infinity; 
but they do not 
lose themselves there, 
they struggle with 
all the force of their lives 
for one thing only: to 
fulfill themselves according 
to their own laws, 





-  to build up their own form,
 to represent themselves. 
Nothing is holier,
 nothing is more exemplary
 than a beautiful, 
strong tree."   
 Hermann Hesse

Represent YOUR Form!

Young Swans

  A  L  O  H  A !  
"Let your heart speak 
to others' hearts.
           Yogi Bhajan








"For my part 
I know nothing 
with any certainty,

"The essence of all beautiful art, 
all great art, is gratitude."
         Friedrich Nietzsche







The swans were swimming
with tiny puff ball young,
not that long ago.
Now these adolescents
are growing apace.
They were very far
for my simple camera,
but the sight of them
made me dream;
Filling me with
Gratitude.

Flames in the forehead of

Old  Friend
"Dogs come into our lives 
to teach us about 
love and loyalty. 
They depart to 
teach us about loss. 
A new dog never 
replaces an old dog; it 
merely expands the heart. 
If you have loved many dogs, 
your heart is very big."
               Erica Jong






Strange Friendship
"True friendship comes 
when the silence between 
two people is comfortable."
           David Tyson Gentry






Friendship  With  Self
"Don't be pushed around 
by the fears in your mind.
Be led by the dreams 
inside your heart."
