One Soul In The Whole

A  L  O  H  A !
"Any path is only a path, 
and there is no affront,

in dropping it if that is 
what your heart tells you."

Is to spread.
If you are kind to others,
Today they will be kind to you,
And tomorrow to somebody else."

and it is the only one 
whose fate is placed 
in your hands”

"This silence, this 
moment, every moment,
If it's genuinely inside you,
brings what you need."
                 Rumi

"No one is ever more 
him/herself than when 
they really laugh. 
Their defenses are down. 
It's very Zen-like, 
that moment. They 
are completely open, 
completely themselves 
when that message 
hits the brain and 
the laugh begins. That's 
when new ideas can 
be implanted. If a 
new idea slips in at 
that moment, it has 
a chance to grow.” 
   George Carlin

Through A Haze

infinitely precious things that 
cannot be taken from you."
           Oscar Wilde

But you lift it and buddy you're 
in for the ride of your life."

This Image Makes Me Think

A  L  O  H  A !
Waimanalo Hawaii


“One small crack 



does not mean that

you are broken, it 

means that you were 

put to the test and 

you didn’t fall apart.” 
     
   Linda Poindexter









Vandalism?
A little understanding
changes what we see.

Banana is a big grass,
not a tree.

When the banana bunches are full. 
The plant completes it's cycle.
You cut the banana bunch,
And trample it to nurture the new growth. 
Only the root remains-
from which sprout new
banana "trees."

This is a semi-public space
in Waikiki frequented by the
homeless. This image makes
me think that someone
has Free Food 
from the land -
and to share!








“My life is shaped by



the urgent need to 

wander and observe, and 

my camera is my passport.”

    Face

Love is the only thing 
that can touch our soul 
and change our heart.” 
 Lailah Gifty Akita









                                                                          Faces
 "There are mystically in our faces 
certain characters 
which carry in them
the motto of our souls, 
wherein he that 
cannot read A, B, C 
may read our natures."
           Sir Thomas Browne
















 Face?

"A happy person is not a person 
in a certain set of circumstances, 
but rather a person with 
a certain set of attitudes."
              Hugh Downs


[Seeing faces in everyday 
inanimate things is 
called pareidolia.]














Sea gulls and red wing blackbirds
I like how the fog ensconces
Lifting later to reveal sunny skies
Every morning here Winter to Spring.

The sparrows know, Tahoe has snow
Across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge
World Class San Francisco.

Hawaii you are my soul, you’re a big part of
Who I am, even here in Northern California
following life’s mysterious plan.
