Afternoon Aftermath

A L O H A From Honolulu!

All the technique

in the world doesn’t

compensate for the

inability to notice.

    Elliott Erwitt

One joy scatters

a hundred griefs.

   Chinese proverb

Ahu is a Hawaiian altar,

shrine, or cairn

utilized for spiritual

and ceremonial purposes

in both the past and

the present...

Modern ahu are considered

as authentic as the

ancient structures,

being part of a

living Hawaiian culture that

still continues today.

Honolulu is many dialogues.

Here a 19th century wall

in a city park, and

her 20th century neighbor

enjoy the trees and hushed

traffic from Beretania St.

Age is frequently beautiful,

wisdom appearing like

an aftermath.

Benjamin Disraeli

My life is a roller coaster

on golden wheels;

IT IS NEVER GOING

TO BE PERFECT but

I am glad for

the perfect moments.

It’s not the claws of the cat

that bothers me. Rather,

it’s the fact that I gave him

a reason to use them.

Not Embarrassed to Say

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The ideals which have

always

shone before me and

filled me with joy are

goodness, beauty, and

truth.

New ideas are sometimes 

found in the most 

granular details of a problem 

where few others bother to look.

I went to an outdoor 

restaurant for  lunch.

Total disaster. 

Poured with rain. 

Took me 2 hours to 

finish my soup!

Chick & Mother

Be as a bird perched

on a frail branch that she

feels bending beneath her,

still she sings away

all the same, knowing

she has wings.

Victor Hugo

The satisfactions

of agreement are

immediate as sugar

a melting of the

granular, a syrup

that lingers, shared

not singular.

Many prefer it.

Happily, there is some remnant of

childhood in this jaded public.

It is this childhood we must reach.

It is the incredulous reserve of

the adults that we must overcome.

and I can be reborn

 A  L  O  H  A  
                 From Honolulu!

The greatest weapon

against stress is our

ability to choose one

thought over another.

  William James

Sometimes the most
ordinary things could
be made extraordinary,
simply by doing them
with the right people.
            Elizabeth Green

               And Looking UP 

                       Once in a while!

Feelings are real.
They often become one’s
reality. But they are not
always based on truth.
                  Jesikah Sundin

There is no personal charm

so great as the charm of a

cheerful temperament.

                    Henry Van Dyke

"The Kōlea, Pacific Golden Plover, is a migratory bird that comes to Hawai‘i from Siberia and Alaska at the end of August and leaves for its trip across the north Pacific in late-April to early-May.

The bird’s Hawaiian name, Kōlea, is a phonetic imitation of the sound of its flight call.  One olelo no‘eau (Hawaiian proverb) states ‘Ai no ke kolea a momona hoi i Kahiki!’ (The Kōlea eats until he is fat, and then returns to the land from which he came.)

Unlike many birds capable of trans-oceanic migrations, Kōlea can neither soar nor glide; and, they can’t swim.

When Kōlea fly between Hawai‘i and Alaska, they will continuously beat their wings twice per second for about fifty hours over some 2,500 miles of open ocean—one of the most grueling non-stop migrations in the avian world." Peter T. Young Link

There's a great big 

beautiful world out there,

just waiting to open 

and flower again.

Savor the nectar

that this day brings!
