Everything is OK

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I'll bet that 90 percent

of the love that surrounds us

is dismissed or discounted -

the cup of tea a friend makes,

the letter from a faraway auntie.

The fact that no one feels

loved enough merely

proves my point.

   Laurie Fox

Stages Of Crepe Ginger

There would be hard times,

but what did I care

if we had hard times?

- The branches of my love

were wide, and they caught

the rain and the snow.

We would be okay,

the two of us together.

We would be okay.

   Carolyn Parkhurst

How MANY Green Lights?

An optimist is a person

who sees a green light

  everywhere,

while a pessimist sees

only the red stoplight...

the truly wise person

is colorblind.

Albert Schweitzer

Pause-

for an

Angel

to Pass

Somehow, always,

everything is okay

when it's just the

two of us alone

together.

Laugh Last Laugh First

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Leave your front door

and your back door open.

Allow your thoughts to

come and go.

Just don't

serve them tea.

   Shunryu Suzuki

Remember

1) You are stronger

than you think.

2) Your heart is bigger

than you know.

3) You have more in you

than you can see right now.

4) Your positivity is greater

than any negativity.

5) You are more

powerful & significant

than passing events.

I was looking forward

to having a halo.

It would make such a

convenient reading lamp.

The Tiger they say,

cannot change her stripes.

But the Sky changes hers

Pixie Remembers:

4 years in Northern California we relied on Fireplace!

Whenever it gets

a little cold in L.A.,

it gives me an excuse

to light my fireplace.

You could stare at

that joint for, like,

a cool two hours.

It's entrancing.

Sunset Sunrise

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

Next time a sunrise

steals your breath

or a meadow of flowers

leave you speechless,

remain that way.

Say nothing,

and listen as Heaven

whispers, do you like it?

I did it just for you.

Max Lucado

Give me odorous

at sunrise

a garden of

beautiful flowers-

- where I can walk

undisturbed.

Walt Whitman

Dawn Reflections

When I think about that sunrise

that I woke up to that morning,

I just feel like I got as close

to nowhere as I could get,

and found out that it was

more of a place than

anywhere I've been

in a long time.

      Hank Green

We can only appreciate

the miracle of a sunrise

if we have waited

in the darkness.

We who lived in concentration camps

can remember the ones who

walked through the huts

comforting others, giving away

their last piece of bread.

They may have been few in number,

but they offered sufficient proof

that everything can be taken...

but one thing: the last of

the human freedoms-

to choose one's attitude in

any given set of circumstances,

to choose one's own way.

Viktor Frankl

I believe in Liberty for all:

the space to stretch their

arms and their souls,

the right to breathe and

the right to vote, the

freedom to choose their friends,

enjoy the sunshine, and

ride on the railroads,

uncursed by color;

- thinking, dreaming, working

as they will in a kingdom

of beauty and love. 

W. E. B. Du Bois

Six best doctors in the world:

1. The sun,

2. Rest,

3. Exercise,

4. Diet,

5. Self-respect

6. Friends.

7. Stick to them

at all stages of your life

and enjoy a healthy life.

Three Matters and a Fig Leaf

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A journey is a person in itself;

no two are alike. 

And all plans, safeguards,

policies and coercion

are fruitless...

...We find after years of struggle

that we do not take a trip;

a trip takes us.

John Steinbeck

Ficus religiosa or sacred fig is a species

and Indochina that belongs to Moraceae,

In the end,

only three things matter:

how much you loved,

how gently you lived,

and how gracefully you

let go of things

not meant for you

  Jack Kornfield

When you look at things

from a different perspective

your thinking begins to change

but so often we see

things as problems

because we refuse to

change our perspective.

Nothing is forever

in this world, not

even our problems.
