Acceptance Flower Joy

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
When you wear 
the weed of impatience 
in your heart instead of the
flower Acceptance-with-Joy, 
you will always find 
your enemies get an 
advantage over you.
 Hannah Hurnard







You can't reach for 
anything new if 
your hands are full 
of yesterday's junk.

Be the flame,

I don’t know anything,
but I do know that
everything is interesting
if you go into it deeply enough.
Richard Feynman




I set out to find my peace
in the skies and the tulips,
in the howling of the winds,
in the rain under the shed
and it was right there
residing within me. Suyasha Subedi

Common Enchantment

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U


Life's challenges are not
supposed to paralyze you,
they're supposed to help you
discover who you are.
Bernice Johnson Reagon




They danced for a moment, 
 beauty stayed,
Their soul-stirring art, 
gracefully displayed.

With every sway, 
old tales awoke,
Waikiki's true spirit 
softly spoke.
      Pixie




Plumbago, Leadwort
When grace is
joined with wrinkles, 
it is adorable. There is an 
unspeakable dawn
in happy old age. 
             Victor Hugo



At the end of the day,
what really matters is that
your loved ones are well,
you've done your best, and
that you're thankful
for all you have.

We wait, starving 
for moments of high magic 
to inspire us, but life is 
full of common enchantment 
waiting for our alchemists 
eyes to notice.

How Good


A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. Saint Francis de Sales



Every circumstance in life, 
no matter how 
crooked and distorted 
and ugly it 
appears to be, if 
it is reacted to in
love and forgiveness 
can be transformed.
     Hannah Hurnard





Ah, how good it feels!
The hand of an old friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow







The greatest
healing therapy is friendship and love. Hubert H. Humphrey

Each Side Gives and Takes

  A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U


It's easy to believe  
the world rests 
on our shoulders 
that every gentle touch,  
and whispered comfort,  
is a gift we alone bestow.

But see the way 
their eyes meet yours,  
how their laughter 
lifts the room,  
how their stories 
fill the silence  
with memory and heart.


We are not the only givers here.  
With each small gratitude,  
every squeeze of our hand,  
every moment of trust,  
they teach us the 
language of resilience.

Honor the caring
That flows both ways,  
The  river has two banks,  
Each side gives 
and takes.


Let us notice,  
And appreciate—  
In this circle of care,  
How we all are held  
And holding,
In this living 
That we share.

Every great dream 
begins with a dreamer. 
Always remember, 
you have within you 
the strength, the patience, 
and the passion to 
reach for the stars to 
change the world.

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U
Today well lived
makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day. Indian Proverb



The doors we open
and close each day decide the lives we live. Flora Whittemore



We all have two lives.
The second one starts
when we realize
we only have one.

Spring Hopes


 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U


Maybe the story  
You whisper in the dark 
Isn’t the whole story,  
Though every word  
Feels true.

It’s the story 
You have so far
That's all,  
Stitched out of memory
And longing,  
From the ache
Of what was  
and the hope of
What might be.




But maybe—  
just maybe—  
the world is wider  
than fears can allow,  
and the shadows about  
are thinner than they seem.

Maybe hope  
is hiding in the margins,  
waiting for you  
to turn the page.

Maybe the truth  
is softer,  
more forgiving,  
and the ending  
isn’t written yet.

Let’s keep writing  
you and I  
line by line,  
finding the light  
in the spaces between  
what we know  
and what could be.

A kind word is 
like a Spring day.
         Proverb
