The good life

You can't punish 

yourself into change.

You can't whip 

yourself into shape. 

But you can love yourself 

into well-being.

Fortunately, the tsunami when it arrived was strange but manageable with some flooding and no big damage (reported so far). We dodged a bullet. 

Thanks for your support.

Here you see normally busy Waikiki Beach 

empty in late afternoon. 

A strange sight indeed!

Cure The Wounding

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every circumstance in life,

no matter how 

crooked and distorted and

ugly it  appears to be,

if it is reacted to in

love and forgiveness 

can be transformed.

     Hannah Hurnard

I have many problems in life.

But my lips don’t know that.

They always smile. 

  Charlie Chaplin

A smile cures the

wounding of a frown.

 William Shakespeare

When you are full of love,

it confuses those who

are full of nonsense.

Renaissance Of Wonder

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life may not be the 

party we hoped for, 

but while we're here 

we should dance.

 Folk Wisdom

The good and the wise 

lead quiet lives.

      Euripides

We need a renaissance of wonder. 

We need to renew, in our 

hearts and in our souls, 

the deathless dream, 

the eternal poetry, the 

perennial sense that 

life is miracle and magic. 

E. Merrill Root 

Hope is being able to see that 

there is light despite all of 

the darkness.

    Desmond Tutu

Loyal Both in Fairness

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Many of us are willing to spend six or eight years studying to get a diploma. We believe it's necessary for us to be happy. But very few of us are willing to spend three or six months, or even a year, training ourselves to handle our sadness or our anger, to listen with compassion, and to use loving speech...

...If you can learn how to transform your anger, sadness, and despair, and if you can learn how to use loving speech and deep listening, you can become a real hero capable of offering happiness to many people.

Thich Nhat Hanh

When did we forget that

you need to know BOTH SIDES

to decide?

When did we lose

"The Loyal Opposition" &

the Fairness Doctrine?

Compassion crowns the soul

with its truest victory. Aberjhani

Simple Essence

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Quiet the mind

and the soul will speak.

      Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati

The essence of life is

not in the great victories

and grand failures, but

in the simple joys.

 Jonathan Lockwood Huie

When storm's intrude,

Shadows loom,  

One whisper of peace

Cuts through the gloom.  

Each challenge faced

And tempest test  

Brings silence after.

My heart is at rest.  

With every breath

The steady flame,  

Of quiet strength

Reveals its name.  

Cloudia Charters

“Life is to be enjoyed,

not simply endured.

Pleasure and goodness and joy

support the pursuit of survival.

Two Sisters

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In times of turmoil and danger,

gratitude helps to steady

and ground us.

It brings us into presence, and our

full presence is perhaps

the best offering

we can make to our world.

Joanna Macy

Kolea

All mistakes teach us something,

so there are, in truth, no mistakes. Nikki Giovanni, Poet

There are two sisters

In my house.

Anxiety and joy.

They do not fight or argue

Or otherwise annoy 

The truly amazing thing

Is how well they share

The space

So close,

Alike yet different

Each wearing my own face.
