Magic and Wonder

A L O H A From Honolulu!


"I wish I could get paid to
be at the beach without
swimming ability?"


After the rain, the sun
will reappear. There is life.
After the pain, the joy
will still be here.
      Walt Disney


After a day of cloud and wind and rain Sometimes the setting sun breaks out again, And touching all the darksome woods with light, Smiles on the fields until they laugh and sing Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Inside an African Tulip fallen from the tree

Growing up, I heard a lot about strength. My dad - a Holocaust survivor - embodied it, though he would never say that about himself. Not only did he survive one of the most horrific events in history, but he never lost hope along the way, crediting acts of kindness with keeping him alive. Daniel Lubetzky

Indian Mynas are not only fierce looking. Tough!

There is magic and wonder for eyes who know how to look with curiosity and love. Anon.

it's going to be a great day.

Ever My Delight

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Morning is the dream renewed,
the heart refreshed, earth's
forgiveness painted in
the colors of the dawn.
   Kent Nerburn




For what human ill
does not dawn seem
to be an alleviation?
Thornton Wilder



Is not this a beautiful morning?
The sun shines into my soul.
Nathaniel Hawthorne




Not least, 't is ever my delight
To drink the early morning light;
To take the air upon my tongue
And taste it while the day is young...
Philip Henry Savage 1898

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…
T.A. Barron


Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii Island
Hawaii News Now Link






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.
Ferenc Mate'

Because

Morning is nature's way of saying: Live life one more time, make a difference, touch one heart, encourage one mind and inspire one soul. Ash Sweeney

A Little Life

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Marin Calif

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising
a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth . . . Schopenhauer


Is the spring coming?" he said.
"What is it like?"...
It is the sun shining on the rain
and the rain falling on the sunshine.
   Frances Hodgson Burnett*




A misty morning does not signify a cloudy day. Ancient Proverb




Grandmother used to say: "If everyone in the neighborhood put all their problems
on the front porch we'd all be glad to go home with our own."
