Touch The Miracle

A L O H A From Honolulu!

African tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata)
an evergreen tree native to West Africa.
Our choice is stark.
Therefore, choose life!
Yes;
My blood pressure too
skyrockets when
I see the news,
but I'm also finding
a deep resignation
in a radically simple faith
that practices kindness and
refuses to be disempowered
by fear.



Art, Rest & retreat are important tools. Nurture your light.


A father used to buy goods from
poor people at a high price,
even though he didn't need them.
Sometimes he paid way
more for them. His children
were amazed. One day they asked
"why are you doing this dad?"
Their father replied:
"It's charity wrapped in dignity."
Saima Muneer




We are all equal in the fact
that we are all different.
We are all the same
in the fact that we will
never be the same.
We are united by the
reality that all colours and
all cultures are distinct &
individual. We are harmonious
in the reality that we are all
held to this earth by
the same gravity. C. JoyBell C.


Find a day for yourself
better yet, late at night.
Go to the forest or to the
field, or lock yourself in a room.
You will meet solitude there.
There you will be able to listen
attentively to the noise of the
wind first, to birds singing, to see
wonderful nature and to notice
yourself in it, and to come back
to harmonic connection with the
world and its Creator.
Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

Many people are alive
but don’t touch
the miracle of
being alive. Thích Nhất Hạnh

Crescendo Of Happenstance

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Love one another
like one of you just
got out of prison
after 20 years.





The difference between
ethics and religion is like the
difference between water and tea...
We can live without tea,
but not without water.
Likewise we are born
without religion, but not without
the fundamental need
for compassion.
     Dalai lama



The belief that there is
some future moment
more worth our presence
than the one we're in right now
is why we miss our lives.
  Cory Muscara






Become the person
your younger self would
want to look up to.
 Goitsemang Mvula


Your thoughts
are investments.
What are you
investing in?

In Our Power

A L O H A From Honolulu!


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


Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most. Buddha



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



Kindness is in our power, 
even when fondness is not.

The cause of suffering is that
the unbounded Self is
overshadowed by the world.

A friend is someone who
gives you total freedom

Among Stars

A L O H A From Waikiki


Those no longer among us
are among the stars.






Write your bane in sand,
your blessing in a stone.

Sorrow in the face of aging
would be a poor response
to such good fortune.

I wandered everywhere,

And everywhere I went,
the world was on my side.

Just A Drop

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We know only too well that
what we are doing is nothing
more than a drop in the ocean.
But if the drop were not there,
the ocean would be
missing something.
One drop of wine is enough to
redeem a whole glass of water.
Mother Teresa


Nothing causes more
consternation in a group
of hypocrites than
one honest person.
Einstein



In the beginner's mind
there are many possibilities,
but in the expert's there are few. Shunryu Suzuki


Discouragement is like a
scorpion in your shoe;
it takes courage to toss it out
so you can move on.
Richelle E. Goodrich


People deal too much with
the negative, with what is wrong.
Why not try and see positive
things, to just touch those
things and make them bloom?
Thich Nhat Hanh
