The Art of Ignoring

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Health flows 

from the happiness 

of the heart. 

  Sicilian Saying

Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals. If you aren't grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more?

Roy T. Bennett

I am proud only of

those days that pass

in undivided tenderness.

   Robert Bly

In a world where whispers

Can drown the mind, Amidst the chaos,

It's clarity we seek to find.

With every noise

That threatens our grace, We learn to filter,

To choose our sacred space.

Like leaves that flutter,

Caught in autumn's breeze,

We sift through distractions,

With practiced ease.

For not all that glitters

Deserves our gaze, And wisdom blooms

In the quietest ways.

So let us cherish

What truly ignites, Our passions and dreams

That soar to new heights.

In the symphony of life

Let silence sing, For in the art of ignoring

Our spirits take wing

Inevitable Joy

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every moment is unique,
offering its own way to connect
to what is deepest within us,
to the wonder and mystery
of being fully alive.
Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

There is no respect for others without humility in one's self. Henri Frederic Amiel

Strive not to be a success,

but rather to be of value. Einstein

Blooming Plumeria

Above A Torn Banana Leaf

 Now is the time to

understand more so

that we may fear less. Marie Curie

Joy is prayer–Joy is strength

–Joy is love...A joyful heart

is the inevitable result of a

heart burning with love.

Never let anything so fill you

with sorrow as to make you

forget the joy...

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You can’t be that kid

standing at the top

of the water-slide,

overthinking it.

You have to

go down the chute.

  Tina Fey

A truly great book 

should be read 

in youth, 

again in maturity and 

once more in old age, 

as a fine building 

should be seen 

by morning light,

 at noon 

and by moonlight.

           Robertson Davies

Hope is a helium balloon. 

It is a wish lantern set out 

into the dark sky of night.

Sharon Weil

Photography is a reality so subtle 

that it becomes more real than reality. 

           Alfred Stieglitz

I think it is the small

gestures that resonate.

Nick Cave

Happiness Nearest

A L O H A From Honolulu!

An unexamined life

is not worth living. Socrates

Love is like paint –

you can’t spread even a little

without getting some on yourself.

Wayne L. Misner

To be wise is to be

eternally curious.

Frederick Buechner

Sing with your voices,

your hearts, your

lips and your lives.

Augustine Of Hippo

To be kind to all, to

like many and love a few, to

be needed and wanted by those 

 we love, is certainly the nearest we

can come to happiness.

Soulful Serene and Kind

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it yourself. In giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible.

Norman Vincent Peale

Cormorant

To be endowed with 

a generous mind,

is the best kind 

of nobility.

            Plato

Coincidences are God's way

of getting our attention.

 Frederick Buechner

Wish For You
When the sun begins to set,
A healing rest is what we get.
Not just for body, but also for mind,
A soulful rest, serene and kind.

Let's Rock

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I'm going to rock

on the ocean of

What Is

until the end

of the voyage.

    Cloudia Charters

The life I touch for good or ill

will touch another life, and

in turn another, until

who knows where the

trembling stops or in what

far place my touch will be felt.

  Frederick Buechner

When your mind

is narrow, small things 

agitate you very easily. 

Make your mind 

an ocean. 

        Lama Yeshe

A smile is a curve that

sets everything straight.

             Phyllis Diller

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. Harriet Beecher Stowe

In Your Garden

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Happiness held is the seed;
Happiness shared is the flower.
  John Harrington

The fact that I can plant a seed
and it becomes a flower,
share a bit of knowledge

and it becomes another's,
smile at someone and receive

a smile in return,
are to me continual

spiritual exercises.
Leo Buscaglia

Nobody sees a flower really;

it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time. Georgia O'Keeffe

Don’t let the tall weeds

cast a shadow on the

beautiful flowers

in your garden.
