Love Light and Rest

A L O H A From Honolulu!

May you hear the laughter
of children and understand it
as a song coming from the sacred.
May you feel the hugs of elders
and experience them as
encounters with angels.
Otis Moss III



Smiling is something
we can do for others
that ends up benefiting
us the most.
Smile early and often.





O Birds of Paradise,
With your blue and gold 
Strange bright birds
from the land of the sun,
In garden setting
of green and light
As if in a dream,
You touch my heart.



You are a message
of hope and of light
You are beauty,
light, love and rest





O Flower Birds
Fill my heart with a song




Day-moon shines
On the beauty of
Flowers and light.
All Blossoms
Are Friends Of
The Moon



Happiness, not in another place but this place, not for another hour, but this hour. Walt Whitman

When I used to be in clinical training to be a specialist, I was told not to smile. It was suggested to be unprofessional and lacking authority.

I wonder if the moon being out in the daytime confuses vampires?

I hike on a busy trail at least once a week just to smile and greet other walkers and bicyclists. It makes me happy!
