Up Through The Common

A L O H A From Honolulu!

All growth is a leap in the dark, 

a spontaneous unpremeditated act 

without the benefit of experience. 

    Henry Miller

 It seems to me every one of us

 is doing something meaningful

 for this world.

Tropical African, Genus Hibiscus

All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life

springs ever green. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart;

To let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common- -this is my symphony. William Henry Channing 1810 - 1884

Pixie's Prediction

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The scariest demons of darkest night,

fade in the glory of morning's 

good light. 

Desert Rose

Avoid the petty.

They are never pretty!

Every moment is 

a golden one for those 

who have the vision to 

recognize it as such.

         Henry Miller

Then came the healing time,

hearts started to shine,

soul felt so fine, oh

what a freeing time it was.

Renaissance Of Wonder

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life may not be the 

party we hoped for, 

but while we're here 

we should dance.

 Folk Wisdom

The good and the wise 

lead quiet lives.

      Euripides

We need a renaissance of wonder. 

We need to renew, in our 

hearts and in our souls, 

the deathless dream, 

the eternal poetry, the 

perennial sense that 

life is miracle and magic. 

E. Merrill Root 

Hope is being able to see that 

there is light despite all of 

the darkness.

    Desmond Tutu

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Diamond Head, Kapiolani Park, Oahu

Confidence is the sweet spot 

between arrogance and despair-

consisting of positive expectations 

for favorable outcomes.

Without Having It Figured Out

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Faith isn't about having

everything figured out

ahead of time.

Faith is about following

the quiet voice of God

without having everything

figured out ahead of time.

 Rachel Held Evans

Practice kindness all day

to everybody and you will realize

you're already in heaven now.

   Jack Kerouac

Sometimes, you have to

look back in order to understand

the things that lie ahead.

  Yvonne Woon

Remember, if people talk

about you behind your back,

it only means you are

two steps ahead of them.

Kindness And Care Gentle The Air

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Kindness is the gentle art,
Of just respecting
Every heart.

Left unhindered
They will know
Where it is
They need to go...

...No need to steer,
Just be sincere.
Let them be
This gentle plea
To honor freedom
For me and thee.

In the stillness of my heart, I hear a whisper soft and low, "It's going to be okay, my dear, Just let go and let it flow."

Walking is good for

solving problems — it’s like

the feet are little psychiatrists.
