Our goal should be to live life

in radical amazement... Get up

in the morning and look at the world

in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually.

To be spiritual is to be amazed.

Abraham Joshua Heschel

Just love everyone.

God will sort

them out later.

Cease striving. Then there will be transformation. Zhuangzi

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. Robert Brault

Look Up.

papayas!

To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence. Sydney Smith

Look for the gift in

everything that happens.

When people are hurting, we often tell them how they should feel. What usually helps more is validating how they do feel. Sharing our perspective is less comforting than showing we understand their perspective. Emotions have to be recognized before they can be regulated. Adam Grant

When we recall Christmas past,

we usually find that the

simplest things, not the great

occasions, give off the

greatest glow of happiness.

Bob Hope

Your children need your presence

more than your presents.

Jesse Jackson

Loriini is a tribe of small to medium-sized arboreal parrots characterized by their specialized brush-tipped tongues for feeding on nectar of various blossoms and soft fruits, preferably berries.[1] The species form a monophyletic group within the parrot family Psittaculidae.

Let us never know 

what old age is. 

Let us know the

happiness time brings, 

not count the years.

And So Part Of Myself

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is our country. This is our democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on. Thurgood Marshall

Every time it feels like

the world is out of control,

all I have to do is look up,

and I remember there is

an order to everything.

And because of that,

I can breathe

a sigh of relief.

Morgan L. Busse

A house is never small

filled with love. Anthony Liccione

You have loved me

and so I leave part of myself here with you. Donna Goddard

Out Of Every Dark Mist

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you

will be beauty. There is a way out

of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail. Andra Davis

I hear the wind among the trees

Playing the celestial symphonies;

I see the branches downward bent,

Like keys of some great instrument.

Joy Sips

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Perfect happiness is

a beautiful sunset, 

the giggle of a grandchild,

the first snowfall. 

It's the little things that

make happy moments, 

not the grand events. Joy 

comes in sips, not gulps.

I Like Thursday

Little tendrils of the heart

Curling out and groping,

Seeking little things to hold,

Wiggling and hoping.

Little tendrils, little tendrils,

innocent and plucky,

I pray that you are careful

And I hope that 

you are lucky.

A solitary fantasy can

totally transform

one million realities.

The words of my book
nothing,
the drift of it
everything.
Walt Whitman

Beginnings Can Be A Struggle

Difficult roads often

lead to beautiful destinations. Zig Zigler

I am always looking for interesting

scenes to set up on
to quickly and discretely shoot.

Imagine my joy when I
realized later that I had captured

a drink being
drunk (drank?)

for T Tuesday!

to redeem
the work of fools. Patti Smith

Distances

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Words that soak into your ears

are whispered, not yelled. The best sermons are

lived, not preached.

Farm Wisdom

Be grateful for luck. Pay

the thunder no mind -

listen to the birds. And

don't hate nobody.

    Eubie Blake

Green anole is a tree-dwelling species
of anole lizard native to the southeastern
United States and introduced
to islands in the Pacific
and Caribbean. 

If you feel lost, disappointed,

hesitant, or weak,

return to yourself, to

who you are, here and now

and when you get there,

you will discover yourself, like

a lotus flower in full bloom,

even in a muddy pond,

beautiful and strong.

   Masaru Emoto

I've never SEEN a

Bunny in Waikiki!

Still Haven't!

Learning to distance yourself

from all the negativity is

one of the greatest lessons

to achieve inner peace.
