A Beautiful Way

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Kindness has
a beautiful way
of reaching down into a
weary heart and
making it shine
like the rising sun.
Unknown





There is no glory in star 
or blossom till looked upon 
by a loving eye; There is 
no fragrance in April breezes 
till breathed with joy 
as they wander by. 
            William Cullen Bryant





Thanks to a 
benevolent arrangement 
the greater part 
of life
 is sunshine. 
Thomas Jefferson


A Fact so obvious
that we easily forget it





The fragrance of flowers 
spreads only 
in the direction 
of the wind. But 
the goodness of a 
person spreads 
in all directions. 
     Chanakya

I watched a small man 
with thick calluses 
on both hands work 
15 and 16 hours a day.
I saw him once literally 
bleed from the 
bottoms of his feet,
a man who came here 
uneducated, alone, 
unable to speak the language,
who taught me all I 
needed to know about
 faith and hard work
by the simple eloquence 
of his example.
