Don't Wish You Had

A L O H A From Honolulu!


If it seems a childish thing to do,
do it in remembrance that
you are a child.
Frederick Buechner




Being happy is better

than being king
African Proverb




By cultivating the beautiful we scatter the seeds of heavenly flowers. . . Vernon Howard 






No Hummingbirds in Hawaii

If you see it, shoot it.
If you shoot it,
you really do see it.



 Those who contemplate 
the beauty of the earth
 find reserves 
of strength 
that will endure 
as long as life lasts.
                     Rachel Carson

Our Passions Ourselves

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Look at life through
the windshield, not
the rear-view mirror.
Byrd Baggett



On the mountains of truth
you can never climb in vain:
either you will reach a point
higher up today, or you will
be training your powers so that
you will be able to
climb higher tomorrow.
  Friedrich Nietzsche



Through intentionally slowing down
our pace; simplifying calendars,
closets, and commitments;
letting go in order to have
fulfilling, connective enough-ness,
we open more space.
Dr. Erlene Grise-Owens




How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven.
Robert A. Heinlein

Just

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Just keep reaching.

The Smell hit me
before the sight
of these flowers
you can cover
with your thumb


.

How much has to be
explored and discarded
before reaching the
naked flesh of feeling.
   Claude Debussy












I lean out my window
at night and I can
taste it out there,
just waiting for me.

Wash your face
every morning in
a bath of praise.

More Than Words

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

If I could tell the 

story in words, 

I wouldn't need to lug 

around a camera.

Lewis Hine 

(Sociologist and photographer)





If a composer could say 

what he had to say in words 

he would not bother trying 

to say it in music.

Gustav Mahler








Home isn't where you're from, 

it's where you find light 

when all grows dark. 

      Pierce Brown






A comfortable house is a 

great source of happiness. 

It ranks immediately after 

health and a good conscience.

    Sydney Smith
























One day, your light 

will silence the darkness, 

and you will be surrounded 

by the beauty within. 

A.D. Posey

Expanding Pools of Lovely Normal

 A   L   O   H   A   From Honolulu!

Normalcy was declared.

Arundhati Roy, 

The Ministry of Utmost Happiness















Madness means just this 

dislocation of the 

modes of thought 

which mortals have agreed upon 

as necessary to keep 

the world together.

 John Buchan
















Maybe just a case of 

one person's "normal" 

being another person's 

Twilight Zone.

           Angela N. Blount













Only when normal things 

are not normal anymore, 

do we realize how special 

normal things are!

 Anonymous












 


We should give ourselves 

the benefit of the doubt. 

We shouldn't 

shoot ourselves down 

before putting ourselves 

up there.

Janine Myung Ja

And You Lift Me

A  L  O  H  A !
I'll lift you 

and you lift me, 

and we'll both 

ascend together.

John Greenleaf Whittier











The two most 

powerful warriors are 

patience and time. 

Leo Tolstoy











Stealing A Drink

In wine there is wisdom,

in beer there is freedom, 

in water there is bacteria.     

Benjamin Franklin








Every second is 

of infinite value. 

     Goethe









The future has a way 

of arriving unannounced. 

George F. Will





When I was a kid, you could walk into Independence Hall in Philadelphia - the place where the USA was born - and touch the Liberty Bell. It was big, cold, and had a crack in it. The crack had metal repairs; Round pieces of metal wedged in to hold the bell together. 

Independence Hall was at that time a dusty old building that had simply endured as the city grew around it, not yet a polished treasure. Especially in that day, the spirit of our founders hovered everywhere around a school child. 

And the bell. You could touch the bell with your own hands. No glass. It was right there to spend a moment with: the bell that proclaimed liberty throughout the land. It has a long, jagged crack. It is obviously not perfect. 
But nothing human is. 

Together we build an always more perfect union. 

Police are not the enemy - nor is the very American 
yearning to be better, to shine on a hill. . . . 
proclaiming Liberty. . . . everywhere. . . 
to ALL!
