The mind loves the unknown.
It loves images whose meaning is
unknown, since the meaning of
the mind itself is unknown.

The simplification of life is
one of the steps to inner peace.
A persistent simplification will
create an inner and outer
well-being that places
harmony in one's life.

Humble Power

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sometimes things fall apart, so better things can fall together. Marilyn Monroe



An authentically empowered person is humble. This does not mean the false humility of one who stoops
  It is the inclusiveness of
 one who responds
 to the beauty of each soul.
...It is the harmlessness 
of one who treasures,
 honors, and reveres life 
in all its forms.
                    Gary Zukav 


Bleeding Heart Vine
Music expresses that
which cannot be said
and which cannot
remain silent.
Victor Hugo




It is written on the arched sky;
it looks out from every star.
It is the poetry of Nature;
it is that which uplifts
the spirit within us.
John Ruskin



In the past, people were born royal. Nowadays, royalty comes from what you do. Gianni Versace

Mastery of Love

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The trials you face will
introduce you to
your strengths. Epictetus


Have you ever noticed that
when we are in a good mood,
we feel superior to the anxious?
It's a favorable comparison
and we love feeling good
about ourselves.

Then when we are concerned
about something and upset,
others who seem happy and
smiling seem to us to be fools.

Funny how all encompassing
moods can be.

Instead of
following negative thoughts
down a rabbit hole, I look
to see any kernel of info
they are bringing.

Then I throw them out
the door like bums
being tossed from a bar.

Don't follow
where they Lead!




 It is only possible to
live happily ever after 
on a day-to-day basis.
        Margaret Bonnano




No one else can make you happy.
Happiness is the result of
love coming out of you.
This is the Mastery of Love.
Don Miguel Ruiz

Steps

A L O H A From Honolulu!

There is, they say, a crowded highway to Hell, but speak of the stairway to Heaven.


What lovely steps! Pause as long As you wish.

Take a good look

Around

At your memories.


How Far You've Come!




Ignore the highway traffic.
Come up.
Come up

In love.




The Flower Book by
Edward Burne-Jones
is a series of 38 round watercolours,
each about six inches across, painted
from 1882 to 1898. The paintings do
not depict flowers; rather, they were
inspired by the flowers' names.
Burne-Jones called them
"a series of illustrations to
the Names of Flowers".
Wikipedia



Ah, the patter of little feet
 around the house. 
There's nothing 
like having a 
midget 
for a butler.
