A L O H A From Honolulu!
Hoping to live days
of greater happiness,
I forget that days of
less happiness are passing by.
Elizabeth Bishop
The seasons of my heart
change like the seasons
of the fields.
There are seasons
of wonder and hope,
seasons of suffering and love,
seasons of healing...
Macrina Wiederkehr
Do not anticipate trouble,
or worry about what
may never happen.
Keep in the sunlight.
Benjamin Franklin
Imaginary obstacles
are insurmountable.
Real ones aren't.
Barbara Sher
The open-minded see
the truth in different things:
the narrow-minded see
only the differences.

Weekend Reflections & Street Photography
Unnoticed smile – fleeting moment,
lost in the hustle of life.
Profound beauty, quiet resilience.
Respite from the round of strife.
Unnoticed smile - hidden grace,
Softly whispers in a noisy place.
No fanfare heralds it's gentle might,
Yet in its subtlety, a profound light.
Blooms in secret like a flower
Unseen by most, but felt for hours
It's quiet strength pierces the din,
Beacon of hope and love within.
Let us cherish unnoticed smiles,
Little things making life worthwhile.
