Vanished Art: This Face

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

In a world

full of

temporary things

you are

a perpetual

feeling.

Sanober Khan

This face

has been effaced.

Only temporary, 

she swam on a 

Construction Fence

about a decade ago.

Never meant to endure,

she looks at you,

saved by street photography.

I remember meeting her.

The world was different and

so was I.

For it is up to you and me

to take solace

in nostalgia's arms

and our ability

to create

the everlasting

from

fleeting moments.

        Sanober Khan

One clear moment,

one of trance

One missed step,

one perfect dance

One missed shot,

one and only chance

Life is all...but

one fleeting glance.

        Sanober Khan*

There May Wait

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The crown of life is

neither happiness nor

annihilation it is

understanding.

   Winifred Holtby 

Your Mother was

A Hamster

and you Father

Smelled of elder

berries.

  John Cleese

Nights and days came and passed

And summer and winter

and the rain.

And it was good to be a little Island.

A part of the world

and a world of its own

All surrounded by the bright blue sea.

                    Margaret Wise Brown

Still round the corner 

there may wait, A new

 road or a secret gate.

J. R. R. Tolkien

What's the one thing

I need to know today?

Light Feels Right

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Small lights have

a way of being seen

in a dark world.

Neal A. Maxwell

You don’t have to

be a people-pleaser,

just a people-lover.

Beth Moore

Nothing can dim the

light that shines

from within.

 Maya Angelou

The world is so empty

if one thinks only of

mountains, rivers & cities;

but to know someone who

thinks & feels with us,

& who, though distant,

is close to us in spirit,

this makes the earth for

us an inhabited garden.

Goethe

Daily Work Continues

Only once you’ve [literally]

climbed a mountain in

the rain and cold

can you truly

enjoy your dinner.

Helen Russel

Stars don’t shine

because they want

to be seen.

They shine because

they are stars.

Afternoon Aftermath

A L O H A From Honolulu!

All the technique

in the world doesn’t

compensate for the

inability to notice.

    Elliott Erwitt

One joy scatters

a hundred griefs.

   Chinese proverb

Ahu is a Hawaiian altar,

shrine, or cairn

utilized for spiritual

and ceremonial purposes

in both the past and

the present...

Modern ahu are considered

as authentic as the

ancient structures,

being part of a

living Hawaiian culture that

still continues today.

Honolulu is many dialogues.

Here a 19th century wall

in a city park, and

her 20th century neighbor

enjoy the trees and hushed

traffic from Beretania St.

Age is frequently beautiful,

wisdom appearing like

an aftermath.

Benjamin Disraeli

My life is a roller coaster

on golden wheels;

IT IS NEVER GOING

TO BE PERFECT but

I am glad for

the perfect moments.

    Fresh Hopes again. (Verb)

Circa 1525

Bambusoideae

are a lineage of perennial

forest grasses (Poaceae)

endemic to every continent

except Europe and Antarctica.

They comprise 115 genera and approximately 1450 species

of bamboos.

If we had no winter,

the spring would not

be so pleasant: if

we did not sometimes

taste of adversity,

prosperity would not

be so welcome.

  Ann Bradstreet 

Love tickles

parts of you that,

prior to its influence,

you didn't even

know could feel.

Richelle E. Goodrich

To improve your life:

pay your irritability

no mind. Consider it

a prompt to do or say

something nice instead.

Dolce far niente!

The sweetness

of doing nothing.

Just This

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Walking through

darkness with

thoughts full of colors.

   Prajakta Mhadnak

I function the best

when I don't distinguish

between work and play.

 Cristina Saralegui

People talk about

entering nirvana, but

we are already there.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Play like a child

and keep the

inner idiots alive.

   Elvis Costello

There is no need to run,

strive, search or struggle.

Just be. Just being

in the moment in

this place is the

deepest practice

of meditation.

Thich Nhat Hanh
