Glorybower Starburst

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 In everyone's life, at some time,
our inner fire goes out.
It is then burst into flame
by an encounter
with another human being... 

...We should all be thankful
for those people who rekindle
the inner spirit.
 Albert Schweitzer

* About this plant (and above)

Every day that is born into the world

 comes like a burst of music, and rings

 the whole day through, and you make of it

 a dance, a dirge, or a life march, 

as you will.

  Thomas Carlyle 

Don't underestimate the value

of Doing Nothing,

 of just going along, listening

to all the things you can't

hear, and not bothering.

    Winnie the Pooh

If you come at four 

in the afternoon, 

I'll begin to be 

happy by three. 

      Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

A L O H A From Honolulu!

All my life I have tried
to pluck a thistle
and plant a flower
wherever the flower
would grow in
thought and mind.

Conducting Light

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Shedding light over this world 

can alone help us.

      Walt Whitman

There is a crack in everything.

That's how the light gets in.

Leonard Cohen

It may be that you are 

not yourself luminous, 

but that you are a

conductor of light.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

I will love the light 

for it shows me the way, 

yet I will endure the darkness 

for it shows me the stars.

 Og Mandino

Little minds are tamed and 

subdued by misfortune; 

but great minds rise 

above them.    

 

       Washington Irving

All bad things, 

like good things, 

must end.

Exempt From Public Haunt

 A   L   O   H   A  !

And this, our life, 

exempt from public haunt, 

finds tongues in trees, 

books in the running brooks, 

sermons in stones, and 

good in everything.

            William Shakespeare

Mural & Reflection

You don't make a photograph 

just with a camera.

You bring to the 

act of photography 

all the pictures 

you have seen

the books you have read

the music you have heard,

the people you have loved.

Ansel Adams

Night, to me, is eloquent;

singing  thousands 

of different songs

in a myriad of 

tongues, and tempos.

I thought you said 

you were interesting!

No, I said 

I was into resting.

Things Differently

 A   L   O   H   A  !

Night Only Lasts. . . . All Night

The darker the night, 

the brighter the stars,

The deeper the grief, 

the closer is God!

    Fyodor Dostoevsky

Morning Comes

The longest way 

must have its close - 

the gloomiest night will 

wear on to a morning.

      Harriet Beecher Stowe

We Emerge

Sometimes your greatest 

strength can emerge as a 

weakness if the context changes.

Harsha Bhogle

Beginnings Can Be A Struggle

Difficult roads often 

lead to beautiful 

destinations.

     Zig Zigler

Morning is that special time between naps!

Through each crisis 

in my life, with 

acceptance and hope, in 

a single defining moment, 

I finally gained the courage 

to do things differently.

Advice From The Sunset

A  L  O  H  A !

My City Of Dreams

Advice from the sunset:

Close your day with beauty.

 Official Honolulu Bird: Manu O Ku Link (Fairy Tern)

"Love is the power

to see similarity 

in the dissimilar."

          Theodor Adorno

Angels always bring

a feeling of relief.

Calm often means

that they are near.

If you can provide

comfort to another

then you can summon

Angels. And make them

your partners.
