Triumphant To The Sunset

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

The true purpose of education

is to teach one to carry oneself

triumphant to the sunset.

  Liberty Hyde Bailey

Double-flowered tropical hibiscus, likely a hybrid cultivar of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, featuring vibrant orange and peach petals with a pinkish-red center. 

In a world of green,

a splash of delight,

This happy little flower,

so bright. 

Yellow petals,

sunshine's embrace,

Mauve accents,

a touch of grace.

Petals unfurl, like

a butterfly's wings,

Dancing in the breeze,

while sunbeams sing.

You fill the air

with fragrance sweet,

A symphony of color,

So lovely to meet.

      Cloudia Charters

Be an encourager.

The world has plenty

of critics already.

Less Is More: REST

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

There is in art 

the notion

of less is more,

which is to say,

you don't torture 

a painting

that has already 

confessed.

 Robert Breault

There are many 

kinds of smiles, 

each a passport 

to new places.

 Frances Frost

What is tolerance? 

It is the consequence 

of humanity. 

We are all formed of 

frailty and error; 

let us pardon reciprocally 

each other's folly - 

that is the first 

law of nature.

 Voltaire

Once we believe
in ourselves, we can
risk curiosity, wonder,
spontaneous delight, or
any experience that
reveals the human spirit.
e. e. cummings

Completely Nothing

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Having an eye 

for beauty is 

one of the steps 

towards a richer life.

Carl Jung

There is one piece of advice, in a life of study, which I think no one will object to; and that is, every now and then to be completely idle - to do nothing at all.

Sydney Smith

Contentment is 

a pearl of great price, 

and whoever procures it 

at the expense of 

ten thousand desires 

makes a wise and 

a happy purchase.

  John Balguy

Everyone chases

after happiness,

not noticing that

happiness is right

at their heels.
Bertolt Brecht

Colors, Detail and Irony

 A L O H A From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U 

How do you know if a

man or woman needs
encouragement?
If they are breathing.
S. Truett Cathy

The beauty and mystery 

of this world 

only emerges through 

affection, attention, interest 

and compassion. 

Open your eyes wide 

and actually see this 

world by attending to its 

colors, details and irony.

Orhan Pamuk

A happy soul

is the best shield

for a cruel world.

Atticus

Let a smile 

be your umbrella, 

and you'll end up with 

a face full of rain.

George Carlin

The sincere friends 

of this world

Giotto di Bondone

The whole world is 

a series of miracles, 

but we're so used to them 

we call then ordinary things.

Hans Christian Andersen

Of course there is

 no formula for 

success 

except perhaps an

 unconditional acceptance 

of life and 

what it brings.

    Arthur Rubinstein  

Compassion will cure

more sins than

condemnation.

Bubbles huddle

Tiny worlds

In bright disguise.

Floating lightly 

On mirrored dreams,

Whispered secrets 

In their gleams.

Eye vs Camera

 A  L  O  H  A 
From  Honolulu

Eye is 

The dawn of seeing.

Camera is 

A borrowed being.

One lives in light, 

The other waits.

The eye sees, then

Camera translates.

The trick to forgetting

the big picture is to
look at everything
close-up.
    Chuck Palahniuk

As I get older... I start to

realize that life ain't half bad.

Each year, I'm amazed

that I'm still alive!

I don't take any of this for

granted, I'm a lucky dude.

The Destination In Your Heart

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

I think life is beautiful 

and I want it to 

slow down a little bit...

I love life so much that 

I want to take it slow. 

And part of taking it slow 

is learning to be very clear 

about how I want to 

spend my time.

      Michelle Obama

Our goal in life should be 

to live in radical amazement.

Everything is phenomenal, 

everything is incredible. 

Never treat life casually. 

To be spiritual is 

to be amazed. 

Abraham Joshua Herschel

Imaginary obstacles

are insurmountable.

Real ones aren't.

Barbara Sher

When you've lost sight

of your path,

listen

for the destination

in your heart.
