Sun Touch

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

The sun just touched

the morning;

the morning, happy thing,

supposed that he had

come to dwell, and

life would all be spring.

Emily Dickinson

We don’t realize how 

deeply we crave calm 

until the world stops roaring 

and we can again hear 

the birds and 

our own heartbeat.

Such mornings remind us 

that endurance has beauty — 

that peace is not 

absence of storms but 

the quiet that follows.

Dare to be privately

happy my dear, sing to the silence, joy will appear. Close your door, till daylight bends, and have a small feast with invisible friends. Let candles wink at your secret delight, a quiet rebellion dressed in light. No need to boast, conceal the tune your heart may waltz with the hidden moon.

Bird of Paradise

Dancing On The Moon

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

You are the sky.

 Everything else – 

is just the weather. 

     Pema Chödrön

It's easy to feel fragmented,

but you’re carefully cut pieces,

arranged to reflect

joy in every direction—

just like a disco ball!

Never underestimate the significance of the little things done out of a large heart of love. Elizabeth George

Go easy, friend the wind will slow, the path will clear the way will show. Do what you can rest when you must; move with the day keeping your trust. Steady breath A mindful start. Cool your head but warm your heart.

When Love Shines Through

  A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

Through the blackest night,

morning gently tiptoes, feeling its way to dawn. Robert Brault

A warm smile is the universal language of kindness. William Arthur Ward

Greatness comes by

doing a few small and

smart things each

and every day.

Comes from taking little steps, consistently. So that a day

eventually arrives when

all that's left is

The Extraordinary.

Robin S. Sharma

There is just this moment.

We are not trying to

improve or to get

anywhere else. Jon Kabat-Zinn

When hands reach through 

the shadowed air,  

A spark is born, 

a silent prayer.  

The heart remembers 

what it knew—  

Then light returns 

when love 

shines through.

The climb is always steep just before you reach your goal. Holley Gerth 

Wahine  surfing on a waffle!

Yield to temptation.

 It may not pass 

your way again. 

        Robert A. Heinlein

Ours is a real conversation, 
 both truth and kindness 
are present.

We find our own kind of rhythm. 

Some visit daily, others 
come when you can. 
I think we are building trust,
 making room for 
genuine connection. 

When we join, 
even distance 
feels shared, not empty
Thank YOU Friends!

"Beware of dog,” 
the sign declares,
Yet past the gate
what chaos flares!
A garden tangle, and look inside!
Time collects and cannot hide.
The dog just grins
—its eyes quite wise—
Guarding wonders in disguise.

Pixie

A L O H A  From

The charm of fishing is 

that it is the pursuit of 

what is elusive but attainable, 

a perpetual series of 

occasions for hope.

   John Buchan

When it rains,

look for rainbows. 

When it’s dark, 

look for stars.

Smile at strangers 

and you just might 

change a life.

The music is not 

in the notes, but in 

the silence between.

 I am home In the here, 

in the Now 

I am solid, I am free 

In the ultimate I dwell

Worrying does not take 

away tomorrow's troubles. 

It takes away today's peace. 

           Randy Armstrong

If what I say 

resonates with you, 

it is merely because we 

are both branches 

on the same tree.

On the morning air they drift—

tiny worlds of light and breath—

bubbles gleaming on the street,

quiet miracles out of thin air.

Morning breath made visible,

laughter of light in motion.

tiny moons of soap and sun

bubbles bloom and vanish.

Floating through traffic

From nowhere they appear

soft glories of pause,

asking nothing but to shine.

Only through emotions 

can you encounter 

the force field of your soul.
