And into the circle of love. Rumi

an hour-glass, to let the

particles run the other way. Christopher Morley

Our Regular Encounters

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sunflowers

is the title of two series

of still life paintings by

Dutch master

Vincent van Gogh.

The first series, executed

in Paris in 1887,

the second set, made a

year later in Arles,

shows a bouquet of

sunflowers in a vase.

Slowness means cleaving

perfectly to time,

so closely that the

seconds fall one by one,

drop by drop like the

steady dripping of a

tap on stone.

This stretching of time

deepens space.

It is one of the

secrets of walking:

a slow approach to

landscapes that gradually

renders them familiar.

Like the regular encounters

that deepen friendship. Frédéric Gros

* Not Really

How We Change the World

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Person to person,

moment to moment,

as we love, we

change the world. 

Samahria Lyte Kaufman

[Sometimes]

Small talk feels

too small,

-big talk

too enormous.

     Anna Quindlen

Not too little,

not too much. 

Just enough

Swedish proverb

Too Much?

At the best times,

nothing needs

to be said

with words.

Cleanliness is a mindset

– a positive habit

that keeps the body,

mind, and environment

happy, healthy,

simple, neat,

and delightful. Amit Ray 

There is never enough

time to do everything,

but there is always

enough time to do the

most important thing.

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

of the sky.

 Tom Robbins *

A Peace Lily is

a Podium

and a Moon

A Pause To Admire

The moon stared at me

through sprinkled nighttime

stardust and

I alone smile.

Alive

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You only live once

but if you do it right

once is enough.

Mae West

Never say the thing

that you can't unsay.

Don’t be distracted by

emotions like anger,

envy, resentment.

These just zap energy

and waste time.

 Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Health does not always

come from medicine.

Most of the time it

comes from

peace of mind,

peace in heart,

peace in the soul.

It comes from

laughter and love.

Anonymous

Women who came of age

after World War II went

through a period that

will never be duplicated.

An entire gender that had

been given one role forever

said that was not going

to be the case anymore.

Because of that,

aging is different.

Today, possibilities for

little girls are the same

as for boys, and that’s

a world-altering change.

Gail Collins

Living with purpose means

that we stand for truth.

The soul is alive,

asking us to join forces

with all that is good

and pure in this world.
