Joy Factor

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Full Moon by Cynthia Tucker Naihe

Who has seen the rising

moon break out of

the clouds at midnight

has been present

like an archangel at

the creation of light

and of the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

(1803–1882)

If, instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give George MacDonald 

All the windows of my heart

I open to the day.     

 John Greenleaf Whittier

Joy is one of the seven

factors of enlightenment.

Buddhist teachings

Happiness, not in another place but this place, not for another hour, but this hour. Walt Whitman

The sky is already purple;

the first few stars have

appeared, suddenly, as if

someone had thrown

a handful of silver across

the edge of the world.

Alice Hoffman

Who closes eyes to

dictatorships

kneels his eyelids. Charles de Leusse

(Qui ferme les yeux aux dictatures -

Agenouille en fait les paupières.)

Green is the prime color

of the world, and that from

which its loveliness arises.

Pedro Calderon de la Barca

I did not wish to take a

cabin passage, but rather to

go before the mast and

on the deck of the world,

for there I could best see the

moonlight amid the mountains.

Henry David Thoreau.

How does it happen that

something that makes so

much sense in the moonlight

doesn't make any sense

at all in the sunlight? Lana Turner

Somebody who views the world

at fifty the same as they did

at twenty has wasted

thirty years of life. Muhammad Ali

Inside Magic

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The magic is inside you.

There ain't no crystal ball

Dolly Parton

 In this age of fiberglass

I'm searching for a gem. Bob Dylan

I love the whirling

of the dervishes.

I love the beauty

of rare innocence.

You don't need no crystal ball,

Don't fall for a magic wand.

We humans got it all,

we perform the miracles.

Kate Bush

Creativity is allowing yourself

to make mistakes.

Art is knowing

which ones to keep. Scott Adams

Gratitude can transform

common days into thanksgivings,

turn routine jobs into joy, and

change ordinary opportunities

into blessings.

Moon Viewing Honolulu

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Who has seen the rising

moon break out of

the clouds at midnight

has been present

like an archangel at

the creation of light

and of the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

(1803–1882)

How like a Queen comes forth the lonely Moon From the slow-opening curtains of the clouds, Walking in beauty to her midnight throne!... George Croly

The birds, the moon and the clouds

have an important mission:

To make humankind turn

our eyes towards the skies!

And so leave our own

little local world and focus

on something bigger,

the universe!

Mehmet Murat ildan

The full moon –

the mandala

A Pause To Admire

The moon stared at me

through sprinkled nighttime

stardust and

I alone smile.

Rainbows introduce us

to reflections of different

beautiful possibilities so

we never forget that

pain and grief are not

the final options in life.     

Aberjhani

People who have had

little self-reflection live

life in a huge

reality blind spot.

What we focus on outside

is a reflection of what

we feel inside.

Common sense is the

collection of prejudices

acquired by age eighteen. Albert Einstein

I see my life as

an unfolding set of

opportunities to awaken.

Sunday Moon Day

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Morning is an important 

time of day, because 

how you spend your morning 

can often tell you 

what kind of day 

you are going to have.

Lemony Snicket

Be willing to be 

a beginner every 

single morning.

      Meister Eckhart

Sweet Crescent Moon, 

up in the sky,

Won't you sing your song 

to Earth as she passes by?

Your sweetest silver melody, 

a rhythm and a ryme,

A lullaby of pleasant dreams 

as you make your climb.

Send the forests off to bed, 

the mountains tuck in tight,

Rock the ocean gently, and

the deserts kiss goodnight...

Sweet Crescent Moon, 

up in the sky,

You sing your song so sweetly 

after sunshine passes by.
