Double Scoop

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Pause. Stop. Breathe.

Nothing to dispute 

nor believe.

An Ant!

What a rude stigma!

if you didn't believe in science 
it was just called failing.

Look Closer Life Continues

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Sometimes,
what you're looking for
is already there.
Aretha Franklin





The winding road slants
downward many a time;
Yet each descent is
higher than the last.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox





There is nothing like the thrill
of walking through the jungle
looking for a tiger -











- and knowing they could be
watching you already.
Ashlan Gorse Cousteau











One hopes this lady 
is finding her fallen blossoms 
for a special lei.
A Recovery, or return home, 
come to mind. A new
grade, a new teacher.
Or maybe just because
it is Saturday and the sun 
is peaking over
the Ko`olau mountains
here on Oahu.

Life Continues...













The sky is an infinite movie to me. 
I never get tired of looking at 
what's happening up there. 
    K. D. Lang














In looking back, I see
nothing to regret and
little to correct.
    John C. Calhoun



 ԾԾԾԾԾԾԾԹ 


We're all keeping our distance,
and enjoying the broader spaces.
Sometimes, overlooking these
rewards for good spotting.
Often spotting better
vistas within.

Love You,

Rain Gain

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The nicest thing 
about the rain is 
that it always stops. 
Eventually.

A little rain each day
will fill the rivers
to overflowing.
Liberian Proverb









The sun after the rain

the sun before the rain.

After the rain 
cometh the fair weather.

Being soaked alone is cold. 
Being soaked 
with your best friend 
is an adventure.

Lighted Podium

If you eliminate my shadows,
I'll be nothing special.

Do not be angry with the rain; 
it simply does not know how 
to fall upwards.

Fly Free Day

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Wings are not only for birds; 
they are also for minds.
Toller Cranston









Every bird, every tree, 
every flower reminds me 
what a blessing and 
privilege it is 
just to be alive.
      Marty Rubin







No amount of regret 
changes the past.
No amount of anxiety
changes the future.
But any amount of gratitude
changes the present.

The wings of transformation
are born of patience and struggle.

Our wings are small 
but the ripples of the 
heart are infinite.

Glory Belongs

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Real glory springs from 
the silent conquest 
of ourselves.
    Joseph P. Thompson





I give all the glory to God.
It's kind of a win-win situation.
The glory goes up to Him
and the blessings 
fall down on me.
   Gabby Douglas






Glory belongs to the 
act of being constant to 
something greater than 
yourself, to a cause, to 
your principles, to the people 
on whom you rely and 
who rely on you in return.
John McCain




Morning Honolulu Moon; Her Colors
True glory consists in doing 
what deserves to be written,
in writing what deserves to
be read, and in so living as 
to make the world happier 
and better for our living in it.
    Pliny the Elder



Our glory is hidden
in our pain,
 Henri Nouwen





The glory is being happy. 
The glory is not winning 
here or winning there.
The glory is enjoying practicing,
enjoy every day, enjoying to
work hard, trying to be a 
better player than before.
Rafael Nadal
