Rebirth of Hope

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The last of the human freedoms:

to choose one's attitude in

any given set of circumstances. Viktor Frankl

To be endowed with

a generous mind,

this is the best

kind of nobility.

Plato

As I get older... I start to

realize that life ain't half bad.

Each year, I'm amazed

that I'm still alive.

I don't take any of this for

granted, I'm a lucky dude.

Dave Grohl

Ecstasy of reverie. Faery-fervid,

of uncharted seas, glory on which her

galleon might sail, undiscovered countries

of spice and sweetness, Aleister Crowley

12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947

Gratitude can start

as a mental exercise,

something you are doing. But

if you live it long enough,

it becomes something

that is doing you.

My life goal is to remain

grateful, humble, kind and yes

happy, right till the end.

Mystery Refresh

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Look and think before

opening the shutter.

The heart and mind are

the true lens of the camera.

Yousuf Karsh

A smile will gain you
ten more years of life.
Chinese Proverb

There's something magical

that happens when people

eat from the same pot.

The family meal is really

the nursery of democracy.

It's where we learn to share;

it's where we learn to

argue without offending.

Michael Pollan

The passage into mystery

always refreshes.

We are lightened when our

gifts rise from pools

we cannot fathom.

Then we know

they are inexhaustible. Lewis Hyde

at peace with your neighbors,

If Gracious

A L O H A From Honolulu!

An exclamation point

is like laughing

at your own joke.

filled the cave

If parents are gracious,

children will bask in it

like the beach

on a sunny day.

You cannot be

who you are not. Simply rest, sit

still and unknot. You may even try

to emulate and inspire, But it's the inner self

that you'll transpire. Ana Claudia Antunes

Many True Errors

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Science has been built

upon many errors; but

they are errors which it

was good to fall into,

for they led to the truth.

Jules Verne

The sparrows jumped

before they knew

how to fly, and

they learned to fly only

because they had jumped.

Lauren Oliver

An uneven, windy path

is unavoidable to many.

Its unforeseen, exciting adventures

require balance, adjustment,

alertness and attention.

A path that leads to a

rewarding dream of your life. Miriam Hurdle

Earth laughs in flowers.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Open the bloom

of your heart and become

a gift of beauty to the world.

 Western Bluebird (Sialia mexicana) a

small North American thrush

And when he sings to you,

Though you're deep in blue,

You will see a ray of

light creep through,

Somewhere there's a

bluebird of happiness.

Life is sweet, tender

and complete,

when you

find the

bluebird of happiness.

Edward Heyman & Harry Parr Davies

               1934

I feel how much

I like this place and

could willingly waste

my time in it and feel

myself continually

coming to life.

 William Shakespeare

It's always sunny

above the clouds.

Always.

Every day on earth-

every day

I have ever had-

was secretly sunny,

after all.

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You can only come

to the morning

through the shadows. J.R.R. Tolkien

If in our daily life

we can smile,

if we can be peaceful

and happy,

not only we, but

everyone will profit from it.

This is the most basic

kind of peace work.

   Thich Nhat Hanh

Peace cannot be

kept by force,

it can only be

achieved by

understanding.

Albert Einstein

 There are always strong opinions.

They come and go. But

the truth of what

occurred emerges.

Act today in the faith

that tomorrow will 

surprise everyone.

Just do your best.
