Real Freedom Comes

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Real freedom comes

from acceptance. Only when you embrace

pain, sorrow, and confusion as

part of the human experience

can you find ease

and stillness.

Cory Muscara

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible. Frank Zappa

People should eat and drink

and enjoy the fruits of their labor,

for these are gifts from God.

Ecclesiastes 3:13

Someone in your life at some time will believe

something that you know is factually untrue.

It is fruitless to argue about facts

beyond a certain point. What is helpful

is to realize that the relationship, the other person,

is more important than facts. This untruth is

Emotionally True to the them. How is

their passion & belief system wrapped up in it?

Lots of information there about your friend

that is much more important and

interesting than facts.

Encyclopedias are full of those.

Windows

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The windows of the houses

– even if the house is ramshackle –

are always beautiful because

windows represent light!

   Mehmet Murat ildan

To a clear eye

the smallest fact is

a window through which

the infinite may be seen. Thomas Huxley

Throw open the windows

of your soul to the sun.

If you do not, the sun

will soon set, and

you with it.

    Marcus Aurelius

It's like a kid standing

at the window

watching the rain.

  Haruki Murakami

Stop the flow

of your words.

Open the window

of your heart and

let the spirit speak.

Rumi

Inner Desire, Far View

 A   L   O   H   A  From Honolulu!

So Nice Seeing YOU Today!

Fly & Flower

Nature will bear the 

closest inspection. 

She invites us to lay 

our eye level with her 

smallest leaf, and take an 

insect view of its plain. 

     Henry David Thoreau

The sparrow flying 

behind the hawk thinks 

the hawk is fleeing.

Japanese Proverbs

Kindness is an inner desire that 

makes us want to do good things 

even if we do not get 

anything in return. 

It is the joy of our life to do them. 

When we do good things 

from this inner desire, 

there is kindness in everything 

we think, say, want, and do.

Emanuel Swedenborg

And all those who see me 

and all who believe in me, 

share in the freedom 

I feel when I fly.

           John Denver

ଋଋଋଋଋଋଋଋଋଷ

I was fast & smart.

Now I appreciate

patience & humility.

I used to focus on

every speck on the glass.

Now I'm taking in the view.

Guess you could say

I've expanded my focus

and perspective.

What a lovely view!

Love You,

Many Faces

 A  L  O  H  A   From Honolulu!

I never tire of rainbows. May they never tire of me!

The future is always 

beginning now.

     Mark Strand

Real generosity toward the future 

lies in giving all to the present.

                Albert Camus

It takes a lot of imagination 

to be a good photographer.  . .

in photography everything 

is so ordinary; it takes a 

lot of looking before you 

learn to see the ordinary.

 David Bailey

Lilies Sillies

Getaway, N. Shore Oahu

Sometimes you need 

to step outside, 

get some fresh air and 

remind yourself 

of who you are and 

who you want to be.

Gossip Girl 

A positive attitude gives you 

power over your circumstances 

instead of your circumstances 

having power over you. 

                                Joyce Meyer

On Liberty

A  L  O  H  A !

Even despotism does not produce its worst effects, 

so long as individuality exists under it; and 

whatever crushes individuality is despotism, 

by whatever name it may be called. . .

John Stuart Mill, On Liberty

We the people are the rightful masters 

of both Congress and the courts, 

not to overthrow the Constitution but 

to overthrow the men 

who pervert the Constitution.

          Abraham Lincoln

The love of liberty is the love of others; 

the love of power is the love of ourselves.

                         William Hazlitt

Little Green Heron, Calif

If ever a time should come, 

when vain and aspiring men shall 

possess the highest seats in Government, 

our country will stand in need of its 

experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.

                     Samuel Adams

Someone Important

A  L  O  H  A !

That's how it works: someone important 

believes in us, loudly and with conviction 

and against all substantiation, and over time, 

we begin to believe, too - not in our shot at perfection, 

mind you, but in the good enough version 

of us that they have reflected.

             Kelly Corrigan

Silence and reflection 

cause no dejection.

                           German Proverb

Iolani Palace Fence Link

Kings may be 

judges of the earth, 

but wise people are 

the judges of kings.
