Nausicaä


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


Sunsets are so beautiful
that they almost seem as
if we were looking through
the gates of Heaven.
John Lubbock



Olivia Louis-Charles @kilimana_art

 Love comforeth like
sunshine after rain,
Love's gentle spring
doth always
fresh remain;
       Shakespeare





Nausicaä, a 114.2-meter 
explorer superyacht, 
makes a striking sight cruising 
off Waikiki here in my photo. 
Owner is Japanese art 
collector Yusaku Maezawa.


Health, time, and 
loving people are 
quiet forms of wealth.



May the raindrops fall lightly on your brow. May the soft winds freshen your spirit. May the sunshine brighten your heart. May the burdens of the day rest lightly upon you. May God enfold you in the mantle of His love. And may Peace always be within your home.
Gaelic blessing

what the easy way
cannot.

the things you look at

Brave


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

The moon stays bright
when it doesn't
avoid the night.
Rumi



Night under palms—
on the sidewalk
beside the beach,
tourist holds her pose.


Passing man looks.
Beyond them both,

the sea
keeps its own ideals.

Pixie



Chrysanthemums

As you grow, do not forget

the chrysanthemum within you—

its roots still need water,

its leaves still need light,

and its blossoming still depends

on the tender care

you are willing

to give yourself.



Please never forget
How brave it is, 
To hope and dream 
Amidst the uncertainty.

Yesternight

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu


As each day comes to us
refreshed and anew,
so does my gratitude 
renew itself daily. 
The breaking of the sun 
over the horizon 
is my grateful heart
dawning
upon a blessed world.
Terri Guillemets








A kind heart is a beautiful
thing to share, but
don't forget to extend
those amazing traits to yourself.
You are worthy of your
own love and care.
Morgan Richard Olivier





This is the end 
of yesternight,
This is the hour 
the heart is laid
Open to life!
Frances M. Frost







True friends are those 
who lift you up
when your heart's wings 
forget how to fly.

Let


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu
It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up Eckhart Tolle


Just to be alive In good health, without mishaps, Is far more precious And brings greater happiness Than all the wealth in the world. Mokichi Okada


Let yourself be drawn by
the stronger pull of that
which you truly love.
  Rumi







Patience and tenacity
are worth more than
twice their weight
of cleverness.

Butterflies Will Come


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Don't be overwhelmed
by what you imagine
just do what you can.

When you're able to
be fully present,
your heart opens
because your mind
isn't in the way.

Nature brings solace
in all troubles.

Don’t waste your time
chasing butterflies.
Mend your garden, and
the butterflies will come.

There will always be
a glimmer in those
who have been
through the dark.
