If You Ask

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Although we are in different boats,

you in your boat and

we in our canoe, we share

the same river of life.

 Alpinia zerumbet, commonly known as shell

ginger, is a perennial species of ginger

native to East Asia. They can grow up to 8 to 10 ft

(2.4 to 3.0 m) tall and bear colorful

funnel-shaped flowers. They are  

 grown as ornamentals and their leaves are used  

 in cuisine and traditional medicine. They are  

 also sometimes known as the pink porcelain lily,  

  variegated ginger or butterfly ginger.  Wikipedia  

A canoe does not know who is king.

When it turns over, everyone gets wet.

Malagasy proverb Link

"E lei kau, e lei ho‘oilo i ke aloha"

Love is worn like a lei through the winter. 

  Hawaiian Olelo Link

If you ask what is the single

most important key to longevity,

I would have to say it is

avoiding worry, stress and tension.

And if you didn't ask me,

I'd still have to say it. George Burns

Better Not Bitter

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Obstacles are a sign

you're doing something

you care about and

that matters to you.

What matters is

that we let our lives

be guided by Love.

Never let hard lessons

harden your heart;

the hard lessons

of life are meant to

make you better,

not bitter. Roy T. Bennett

Always Loaded

 A   L   O   H   A  !

The most complicated skill 

is to be simple.

        Dejan Stojanovic

We carry inside us 

the wonders we seek 

outside us. 

     Rumi

Are you a Silver City 

Level Cloud

or a Soaring

       Pink Feather?

What can we gain 

by sailing to the moon if 

we are not able to cross the 

abyss that separates us 

from ourselves? 

This is the most important  of

all voyages of discovery. . .

          Thomas Merton

Looking out

over a dark and glittering city,

preferably beside a great river,

harbor, or the sea.

That's the place, the time

to yearn

when one is young.

So much out there

to see, to do, to want.

In later years to

dream, remember, wonder,

and know.

Justice is not postponed. 

A perfect equity adjusts 

it’s balance in all parts of life. 

The dice of God 

are always loaded.

        Emerson
