Transform the Destination

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Nothing is stronger than

a small hope that

doesn't give up

Matt Haig

 

The moment one gives 

close attention to 

any thing, even a blade of grass 

it becomes a mysterious, 

awesome, indescribably 

magnificent world 

in itself.

           Henry Miller

 You don't take

a photograph, 

you make it.

         Ansel Adams

The journey transforms
the destination.
Peter Morville

With years and experience comes

a certain understanding of human

frailty as we see our own.

Our last best chance to

wise up, love our neighbor,

and become a human being

before our opportunity is passed.

Restore

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 The day you were born 

was the day that God decided 

that the world could not

exist without you. 

   Rabbi Nachman

Big Red

Every fragile beauty, every

perfect forgotten sentence,

you grieve their going away,

but that is not how it is.

Where they come from

never goes dry.

It is an always

flowing spring.

   Rumi

Weather

You can't get mad 

at weather because 

weather's not about you. 

Apply that lesson 

to most other 

aspects of life.

               Douglas Coupland

Bush Face

I felt a positive yearning toward

one bush this afternoon.

There was a match found

for me at last. I fell in love

with a shrub oak. 

 Henry David Thoreau

How Do You Like My Profile?

It will take time

to restore chaos

Opportunity

With a good friend

the hours are short.

Basque proverb 

 Take heart. If you are alive today, You are a warrior

of the soul. 

I will wear no label
but my name

Sometimes in the morning,
when it's a good surf,
I go out there,
and I don't feel like

it's a bad world.
Kary Mullis

When the bee

comes to your house,

let her have beer;

you may want to visit the

bee's house some day.

   Congo Proverb

I just have one question for you.

Are you a stronger, better

person than you were

back in 2015?

We have all had

opportunities to clarify

our behaviours and beliefs.

What do YOU think?

True Dreams

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Music fathoms the sky. Charles Baudelaire

Look at the land

and it's creatures

with loving eyes, and

you will see the ancient

faces looking back.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. Groucho Marx

Keep true to the dreams of your youth. Friedrich von Schiller

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend. Plautus

Out There

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Different times, different directions,

changing seasons, yield different,

changing sights. 

Photography is an austere

and blazing poetry of the real.

    Ansel Adams

Four Palms

Photography deals exquisitely

with appearances, but nothing

is what it appears to be.

    Duane Michals

Taking pictures is like tiptoeing

into the kitchen late at night

and stealing Oreo cookies.

  Diane Arbus

The camera is an instrument

that teaches people how to

see without a camera.
     Dorothea Lange

If you are out there shooting,

things will happen for you.

If you’re not out there,

you’ll only hear about it. Jay Maisel

It’s one thing to

make a picture

of what a person

looks like,

it’s another thing to

make a portrait of

who they are.

Paul Caponigro

Allow But Don't Invite

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A single poem, alone

can turn tides

scatter galaxies

and 

burst forth with rivers

from paradise.

   Sanober Khan

The grass isn't always greener 

on the other side! 

  Ricky Gervais

There are three things 

extremely hard: 

steel, a diamond, and 

to know one's self.

Benjamin Franklin

Rainbow Tower Link

Allow but don't invite bad feelings.

Don't resist them.

 Don't think about them at all,

 just endure them and then they pass.

Confident Discernment

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Own your shadow side.

It has many qualities that life 

demands from time to time. 

being tenacious, strong-willed, 

and always thinking  strategically

The bright side has compassion, 

caring, undeniable power,

 and a hunger for the

 best interest of all.

In this life, the bright side

needs the shadow side.

We need them both

in order to be free

and to choose.

 

Balance them properly,

and you will do nothing that is not 

a part of something greater, 

something good.

Deny your shadow,

and it will only grow in strength

just out of your awareness.

Ambushing you

at every turn.

End the internal struggle.

Don't hide from yourself.

Then you can listen with confidence

and discernment to the quiet voices 

guiding your choices. 

Doing what is good & right

with seeming ease.
