Open Doors

A L O H A From Honolulu!
There is another alphabet,
whispering from every leaf,
singing from every river,
shimmering from every sky.
The world is always open,
waiting to be discovered.
    Dejan Stojanovic

[Thank You Karen Link]







When one door is closed,
don’t you know,
another is open.
 Bob Marley






When one door closes,
another opens; but we
often look so long and
so regretfully upon
the closed door that
we do not see the one
which has opened for us.
   Alexander Graham Bell




Follow your bliss and
the universe will open ‪doors
where there were only walls.
Joseph Campbell








Things taste sweet
when you are grateful,
Stolen grapes are
always sour.






Well-being can be built—
and the best building blocks
are good, warm relationships.
Robert Waldinger

We Join Them

 Aloha from Honolulu!
Navigation light at the end of the channel.
Where the outriggers live.

We are called to be
bridge builders; but
too many of us are
merely toll takers.






Aging is a peculiar
mixture of surrender
and being indomitable.






Love it - not above it.
What do you need to
appreciate more?




Kindness & Happiness
travel together.



Seen in its own right,
a loving person's inner spirit
is an angel of heaven,
and while we are living
in the body we are also
in the company of angels,
even though we are
not aware of it; and
once we are released
from the body
we join them.
  Emanuel Swedenborg

To See It All

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Frank C. Judd Mini Park Link

The rule is you have to dance
a little bit in the morning
before you leave the house
because it changes the way
you walk out in the world.
    Sandra Bullock





Yes, I'm in a hurry, I'm rushing to live with the intensity that only maturity can give. I don't mean to waste any of the leftover sweets. I'm sure these will be delicious, a lot more than the ones I've eaten so far...





...My goal is to reach a satisfied
and peaceful end with my
loved ones and my conscience.
We have two lives and the
second one starts when you
realize you only have one.
    Mario of Andrade

the people you love.
To be near them
and love them
is enough.

Today's photos were shot with my new camera: Google's Pixel 6 Pro Phone.

"The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have the same main wide-angle cameras and ultrawide cameras. The Pro adds a 4x telephoto lens. In traditional camera lens terms, they have focal length equivalents of 16mm, 25mm and 104mm, said Alex Schiffhauer, the Pixel product manager who oversees hardware. That's 0.7x, 1x and 4x in the camera interface." cnet Link







Proximity and closeness
are not the same.

Sunshine Granted

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I only deepen the
wound of the world when
I neglect to give thanks
for early light dappled
through leaves...
  the rain that falls and
all the good things -

 The most liberating thing

Reflection of a Tail
Anything can be taken
out of context and
anything you say or do
is not necessarily
an accurate reflection of
who you are in your totality.
Sam Levinson




On this day in 2017, Pixie wanted to
come into the warm N. Calif. house!
Neither of us will EVER
take the SUNSHINE
for granted!

Too Many Rainbows

A L O H A From Honolulu!
I've begun to realize that
you can listen to silence
and learn from it.
It has a quality and a
dimension all its own.

My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music,
and silence.

Things Mind Doesn't Understand

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Morning Moon

The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves.
It’s always there,
watching, steadfast, knowing us
in our light and dark moments,
changing forever just as we do.
Every day it’s a different
version of itself. Sometimes
weak and wan, sometimes
strong and full of light.
The moon understands
what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone.
Cratered by imperfections.
   Tahereh Mafi







#1 Capitol District Honolulu March 16 1928
While they were both in the cabinet, under King Kamehameha V, American politicians John Mott-Smith and Charles Coffin Harris convinced the legislature to fund a hotel. It first opened in 1872.[1]: 173–174  The hotel was converted to a YMCA in 1917 and used by the military in World War I. In 1926 the termite-infested building was finally torn down, and a new one designed in Spanish mission style by Lincoln Rogers of the firm Emory & Webb.[2][3] The new building was dedicated on March 16, 1928. The two-story U-shaped building includes a swimming pool in its courtyard. Across Richards Street is the Hawaii State Capitol building. The area was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Oahu as the
Hawaii Capital Historic District on December 1, 1978.[4]

that litters our lives is the
precious raw material
from which great beginnings
are forged.

You can dream, create,
design, and build the
most wonderful place

it requires people
