To Ache And Be Whole

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Conquer the angry one

by not getting angry;

Conquer the wicked

by goodness;

Conquer the stingy

by generosity, and

the liar by

speaking the truth. Buddha

I've always felt that 

a person's intelligence

is directly reflected

 by the number of 

conflicting points of view

he can entertain 

simultaneously

 on the same topic. 

    Abigail Adams

Our happiness comes 

from simple things like

 love and friendship , a 

clear conscience, peaceful mind, 

a gentle and kindly spirit; a 

sense of duty and an 

awareness of beauty. Happiness 

does not depend on the 

position we hold, the size of 

our bank account or whether 

we live in one room or a mansion.. 

As someone said, 'Happiness 

is an inside job.'

Rev. Paul Osumi

Opportunity often 

comes disguised in the 

form of misfortune, 

or temporary defeat.

                         Napoleon Hill

Soft like a breeze 

Sharp as thorn

Life rushes on

Daily reborn.

Paint brush joy 

Dripping my favorite hue

Coloring these moments

Shades of me and you.

Better to feel

To ache

And be whole

Than drift like a shadow

Vacant of soul.

Honored Guest Of Your Heart

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Loving yourself…

does not mean 

being self-absorbed 

or narcissistic, 

or disregarding others. 

Rather it means 

welcoming yourself 

as the most honored guest 

in your own heart,

 a guest worthy 

of respect, a 

lovable companion.

                Margo Anand

We need to give each other

the space to grow, to be

ourselves, to exercise 

our diversity. We need 

to give each other space so

that we may both give and receive

such beautiful things as ideas,

openness, dignity, joy,

healing, and inclusion.

   Max De Pree

Oh while I live, to 

be the ruler of life, not a slave, 

to meet life as a powerful 

conqueror,  and nothing 

exterior to me will ever 

take command of me.

Walt Whitman

A smiling face 

is half the meal.

SYCEE: 

Wealth Bringing FENG SUI Good Luck "Gold Ingots"

May You Get Wealthy in this 

Year Of The Wood Snake!

Sycee were not made 

by a central bank or mint 

but by individual goldsmiths or silversmiths for local exchange; consequently, the shape and 

amount of extra detail on 

each ingot were highly variable. 

Square and oval shapes 

were common, but boat, 

flower, tortoise and 

others are known.

Paved With Candy

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Life is about not knowing,

having to change,

taking the moment and

making the best of it,

without knowing

what's going to happen next.

Gilda Radner

Thrashing Dragon

People who do not know

how to laugh are

always pompous and

self-conceited. William Makepeace Thackeray

There are dark shadows 

on the earth, but its 

lights are stronger 

in the contrast.

Charles Dickens

Enlightenment is 

intimacy

with all things.

Dogen

The weather is always 

changing and so are we. 

Our alterations of mood are 

for our own growth and good. 

Through happy and sad, through 

hopeful and despondent, 

we learn lessons impossible 

to learn any other way.

It was raining, a 

light steady rain. 

Ruthless neon on 

the wet streets 

like busted candy.

Feel the Good Luck

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

The meaning of life 

is just to be alive.

It is so plain and so obvious

 and so simple.

And yet, everybody 

rushes around in a great panic

as if it were necessary 

to achieve something 

beyond themselves.

              Alan Wilson Watts

True power isn't 

about controlling outcomes.

It's about learning to 

stay connected to 

your own heart in the midst 

of fear and uncertainty.

   Cory Muscara

If I had influence 

with the good fairy

 who is supposed to preside

 over the christening 

of all children,

 I should ask that her gift 

to each child in the world 

be a sense of wonder 

so indestructible

 that it would last 

throughout life, as an 

unfailing antidote...

   Rachel Carson,

  The Sense of Wonder

Every creature has a right 

to be on this Earth. 

Who am I to disrupt 

the natural order? 

"Respect" 

is a good word worth 

handing down to our children.

Create all the happiness

you are able to create;

Remove all the misery

you are able to remove.

Jeremy Bentham *

Without the fire,

the phoenix never rises

   Forrest Curran

Between stimulus and 

response there is 

a space. 

In that space is

our power to choose 

our response.

In our response lies our

growth and our freedom.

Victor Frankl 

As soon as you trust yourself

you will know how to live.

I am out with lanterns,

Emily Dickinson

*Jeremy Bentham was a philosopher, economist, legal reformer, and the founder of modern utilitarianism, an ethical theory holding that actions are morally right if they tend to promote happiness or pleasure (and morally wrong if they tend to promote unhappiness or pain) among all those affected by them. So if killing one person would make many people happy, then the killing would be moral. Or would it? I remember discussing this in Philosophy in school.....
