Conquer By Goodness

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

It is not happiness 
that makes us grateful, 
but gratefulness that 
makes us happy.
           Brother David Steindl-Rast






In the right light,
at the right time, everything is extraordinary. Aaron Rose 





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




There is something
about the presence of a
cat that seems to take the
bite out of being alone.
Louis J. Camuti

  2. A powerful reminder that true strength lies in self-mastery—responding with compassion, integrity, and generosity even when faced with the opposite.

  7. Photographically, that quote about the right light is spot on. Very ordinary scenes can look photographically good in beautiful light.

  16. Lovely pics. Very sad to read about how those 2 backpackers were treated. Always thought Hawaiians were better than that. At least in my experience they were. #TravelTuesday
