people to be perfect, you can

like them for who they are.

I have ever met were those who knew they were wrong. David Letterman

I smell the soil. I smell the sea.

I smell the mountain forest,

how very lucky for me!

Can cross the path

Without leaving some

Silence To Think

A L O H A From Honolulu!

May you delight in today.

May the child in you stir awake for a season

of Wonder and Hope.

You needn't own something to derive pleasure from it. Do you own a sunset, a moment, or a song?

Better than a thousand hollow words,

 is one word that brings peace.

Buddha 

Every piece of the universe,

even the tiniest little snow crystal,

matters somehow.

I have a place in the pattern,

and so do you…

So much space, such silence,

so much time. To drift.

To think. To let your mind

roam anywhere it pleases.

To dream. Perhaps the

true luxury of our age is not

the piles of goods we endlessly

accumulate, but Time.

I wanted to change the world.

Today I am wise, so

I am changing myself.

New Moment

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Flowers have spoken to me
more than I can tell
in written words.
They are the
hieroglyphics of angels,
loved by all men for
the beauty of their character,
though few can decipher
even fragments of their
meaning.
Lydia M. Child

New morning, new moment 
of miracles.

Josh Green MD is our current Lieutenant Governor

and an Emergency Physician. He proved himself

as an effective leader being in charge of Hawaii's

#1 in USA covid response, He was on social

media explaining & sharing numbers and

news all day every day. He found

hard-to-get supplies; He was

everywhere meeting people and 

making it happen for us in an

uncertain times. He reassured

and he led.

He and his family became the target of our

SMALL minority of anti-vax types who dogged

him with virulent antisemitic attacks

including bullhorns all night outside his home.

The islands have been largely free of

the oldest hate and our tiny Jewish

population of the islands has had

an out-sized positive influence

including one recent (R) Governor

and the massive Weinberg Charities.

After enduring all that, and working

hard all day, he walked his

neighborhood in the early morning

hours, tearing down

antisemitic flyers before his young 

teen children could see them.

THEN he campaigned for Governor!

He has obvious Aloha for people,

and a broad humane intellect.

I am beyond happy today!

State Representative, Dist 24

(D) TAM, Adrian - 4,239 / 64.8%

(R) ANDERSON, Jillian T.- 2,010/ 30.7%

In Hawaii, we hold signs with our

candidates and wave at the drivers

on their way to and from work.

I got a lot of exercise with my

State Representative Adrian this cycle!

Thrilled that my young neighbor

has been Re- Elected!

I'm not a political animal,

I'm a curious animal.

There are as many worlds 

as there are kinds of days, 

and as an opal changes 

its colors and its fire to

match the nature of a day, 

so do I.

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We build too many walls

Nothing is worth

more than laughter. It

is strength to laugh and

to abandon oneself,

to be light.

Happiness is a quality of the soul...

not a function of one's

material circumstances.

Reality is created by the mind,

we can change our reality

by changing our mind.

They told me I didn't
