Be A Beacon NOT Be A Con

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What sunshine is to flowers,

smiles are to humanity.

These are but trifles,

to be sure; but scattered

along life's pathway,

the good they do

is inconceivable.

Joseph Addison

Treat people like mirrors 

and watch how you 

reflect in their eyes.

                  Nnamdi G. Osuagwu

Because your heart

is so beautiful,

everything looks

beautiful to you.

           Japanese proverb

Look at the bright side of life

and the bright side will

look at you.

The reflections we send

out always return.

Turn To Shine

A L O H A From Honolulu!

At any moment,

you have a choice,

that either leads you

closer to your spirit or

further away from it.

   Thich Nhat Hanh

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

Light & Light

One is sleeping.

Waiting

for her turn

to shine!

We are all like poems.

some of us rhyme.

some don’t.

some are

Pulitzer prizes

some are

just scribbles

and yet,

we all possess

a special kind

of beauty

  Sanober Khan

Home is where

we tie one end of

the thread of life.

From inside your Spirit,

You are Love. Amaka Imani Nkosazana

Look Closer Life Continues

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sometimes,

what you're looking for

is already there.

Aretha Franklin

The winding road slants

downward many a time;

Yet each descent is

higher than the last.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

There is nothing like the thrill

of walking through the jungle

looking for a tiger -

- and knowing they could be

watching you already.

Ashlan Gorse Cousteau

One hopes this lady 

is finding her fallen blossoms 

for a special lei.

A Recovery, or return home, 

come to mind. A new

grade, a new teacher.

Or maybe just because

it is Saturday and the sun 

is peaking over

the Ko`olau mountains

here on Oahu.

Life Continues...

The sky is an infinite movie to me. 

I never get tired of looking at 

what's happening up there. 

    K. D. Lang

In looking back, I see

nothing to regret and

little to correct.

    John C. Calhoun

 ԾԾԾԾԾԾԾԹ 

We're all keeping our distance,

and enjoying the broader spaces.

Sometimes, overlooking these

rewards for good spotting.

Often spotting better

vistas within.

Love You,

Papaya

A basket of ripe fruit is 

holier than any prayer book.

Tabebuia aurea - Pay Phone still in Your Town?

Learning to ignore things is 

one of the great paths 

to inner peace.

        Robert J. Sawyer

All fruit grows 

through abiding, 

not striving. 

Bill Johnson

To bear trials with a calm mind 

robs misfortune of its 

strength and burden.

   Seneca

The measure of wisdom is 

how calm you are when 

facing any given situation.

          Naval Ravikant

ᰇᰇᰇᰇᰇᰇᰇᰇᰇᰗ

Life and the world

are an arena of

activity.

Complete resolution

of everything

is not meant to be

for now.

But resolution and rest

can be yours

even in the thick of it.

Minute to minute,

walk in peace.

Love You,

Pixie & Cloudia

Note: The outdoor cat above may well be Pixie's cousin, as Islands are insular, and cats are prime colonizers. Cute ones, but tell that to the indigenous birds! Hawaii has no wild turkeys. Even before the cats got here!
