Obscure Glory

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When we are no longer able

to change a situation, we are

challenged to change ourselves.

Viktor Frankl

Ipomoea obscura, also known as

the obscure morning glory

or small white morning glory. 

Become the kind of person

your ancestors want you to be

and your descendants

need you to be. 

  Kawika Au

Anyone can love a rose,

but it takes a lot

to love a leaf.

It's ordinary to love

the beautiful, but it's

beautiful to love the ordinary.

  MJ Korvan

Be pleasant anyway.

Your life will improve

immeasurably as will

your relationships.

Morning Musicians

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Music in the soul

can be heard

by the universe.

Lao Tzu

The Golden Voice of Hawai`i Alfred Aholo Apaka

March 19, 1919 – January 30, 1960

The true beauty of music

is that it connects people.
It carries a message, and
we, the musicians,
are the messengers.
Roy Ayers

Street music is always good
even if it is bad because
there is only

one melody there:
The melody of the life
struggle of a poor man.
Mehmet Murat ildan

By Music From Her Phone

Who hears music,
feels his solitude
Peopled at once.
Robert Browning

Treat those closest to you
as if they were nearly purrfect
and they will become
more so every day.

The sky lights up with fireworks when you follow

your dreams. Avijeet Das

Strelitzia nicolai

Wholeness is ordinary,

it's simple.

It doesn't come

with fireworks.

It's the undisturbed calmness

inherent to the space

that is you.

The Good Remains

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Don't let the crazy

dim your light.

That alone is

a radical act.

Pause, reflect, and

what is right will appear.

Sharing makes you
bigger than you are.
The more you pour out
the more life will be
able to pour in.
Jim Rohn

Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea is
a water lily that grows in freshwater
lakes, pools, and rivers. It's also
known as the blue lotus,

blue Egyptian lotus,
blue water lily, and

sacred blue lily.

Every friend is to the other

a sun, and a sunflower also.

  Jean Paul Richter. 

If you pursue evil with pleasure,

the pleasure passes away

and the evil remains;

If you pursue good with labor,

the labor passes away

but the good remains.

Cicero

I hope I never get tired of

the night sky, of thunderstorms,

of watching cream make

galaxies in my coffee.

I hope I never grow to be

someone who can no longer

see the small beautiful things.

people aren't perfect,

but there are

moments that are.
