Rekindle

 A   L   O   H   A  !


The firmest of friendships 

have been formed in 

mutual adversity, as iron 

is most strongly united 

by the fiercest flame. 

Charles Caleb Colton









Nirvana is not the 

blowing out of the candle. 

It is the extinguishing of the

flame because day is come. 

Rabindranath Tagore















Interest in a single bluebird 

is worth more than a 

complete but dry list of 

the fauna and flora of a town.

Henry David Thoreau














Dr. Insomniac Coffee Shop, Novato, CA

Things taste better outdoors. 

And if it's a forbidden thing, 

so much the better.     

Franny Billingsley
















 We should all be thankful 

for those who

rekindle the inner spirit.

Albert Schweitzer

 A   L   O   H   A  !

In the hopes of 

reaching the moon 

people fail to see the 

flowers that blossom 

at their feet.

Albert Schweitzer




















As we let our own light shine, 

we unconsciously give 

other people permission 

to do the same.

          Nelson Mandela




















Energy creates energy. 

It is by spending oneself 

that one becomes rich. 

Sarah Bernhardt

































I like to prowl ordinary places

and taste the people-

from a distance.

     Charles Bukowski

Plumeria and Strelitzia nicolai

A     L     O     H     A   !

Not knowing when 
the dawn will come, 
I open every door.

The World globes itself
in a drop of dew.
So do we put our
life into every act.
     Emerson






















Life may not be the party we hoped for, 
but while we're here we should dance.
         Grandma Proverb














 Rooster in Waikiki
That soul, which within us is a sentiment,
outside of us is a law. We feel it’s inspiration;
out there in history we can see it’s fatal strength. . . Justice is not postponed. A perfect equity
adjusts it’s balance in all parts of life.
The dice of God are always loaded.

Emerson

Participants' Journey

A  L  O  H  A !
    Gabby Pahinui link
Speak truly, and each word of thine
Shall be a fruitful seed;
Live truly, and thy life shall be
A great and noble creed.
                     Horatius Bonar













A procession is a participants' journey, 
while a parade is a performance 
with an audience.
          Rebecca Solnit














To hope and dream is not 
to ignore the practical. 
It is to dress it in 
colors and rainbows.
           Anne Wilson Schaef














You attract what you are, 
not what you want. So if 
you want it then reflect it.

Wise Cat

A  L  H  A !
It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. 
I am strongly in favor of common sense, 
common honesty, and common decency.
This makes me forever ineligible 
for public office.
    H. L. Mencken














Examine what is said, 
not him who speaks.
   Arab Proverb










Pause.

Breathe.

3 Deep Grateful Breaths.

Repeat

throughout the day!










Night, when words 
fade and 
things come alive. 
When the destructive 
analysis of day is done, 
and all that is 
truly important 
becomes whole 
and sound again. 
When man reassembles 
his fragmentary self 
and grows 
with the calm of a tree.
     Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Inexpensive Way To Change Your Looks

A  L  O  H  A !
Nobody sees a flower really; 
it is so small. We haven't time, 
and to see takes time - like 
to have a friend takes time.
Georgia O'Keeffe

The most important thing 
in communication is to 
hear what isn't being said.

Compassion Is A Verb

A  L  O  H  A !
Cloud and Peak Embrace

Walk as if you are kissing 
the Earth with your feet.
              Thich Nhat Hanh










Expression in a dear face

Sometimes your joy is
the source of your smile, but 
sometimes your smile can 
be the source of your joy.
Thich Nhat Hanh












Cattle in the sugar cane, downtown Honolulu

If you love someone, the greatest gift 
you can give them is your presence. . .
Compassion is a verb. . .
When we are mindful, 
deeply in touch with the present moment, 
our understanding of what is going on 
deepens, and we begin to be filled with 
acceptance, joy, peace and love.
             Thich Nhat Hanh








Letting go gives us freedom, 
and freedom is the only condition for happiness. 
If, in our heart, we still cling to anything 
- anger, anxiety, or possessions - 
we cannot be free. . . . 
People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. 
Out of a fear of the unknown, 
they prefer suffering that is familiar.
               Thich Nhat Hanh
