Promise

A    L    O    H    A   !
No matter how long the winter, 
spring is sure to follow.
        Proverb

















Awake, thou wintry earth -
Fling off thy sadness!
Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth
Your ancient gladness!
        Thomas Blackburn










Science has never drummed up 
quite as effective a tranquilizing agent
as a sunny spring day.
W. Earl Hall










In Spring, everything is full of promise.... 
The child sporting upon the lawn, and 
the season, sympathize together, and 
nature rejoices in her virgin loveliness.
            Charles Lanman, 
                 "The Dying Year," 1840

M o v i n g

A   L   O   H   A
The great sea 
Has sent me adrift 
It moves me 
As the weed in a great river 
Earth and the great weather 
Move me 
Have carried me away 
And moved my inward parts with joy.
            Uvavnuk, Eskimo Song









Don't ask God to 
guide your footsteps if you're 
not willing to move your feet. 
                 Unknown











K o i
Rise to the occasion
 which is life!

Waikiki Ways & Wonders

A  L  O  H  A !
Our most basic common link is
that we all inhabit this small planet.
 We all breathe the same air. 
We all cherish our children. 
And we are all mortal
                 John Kennedy









Met these two in the pub.
Atop my table, they too waited
for a couple of beers. We
chose not to drink the 
"poison"and "Witches Brew"
in the bottles behind.










Dewey Lane Link

The way we choose to see the world 
creates the world we see. 
                 Barry Neil Kaufman









The very center of your heart 
is where life begins. 
The most beautiful place on earth. 
Rumi

From the Lake House

A  L  O  H  A !
"Our world grows smaller, but 
it grows dearer and greater. 
Simple things have a 
new charm for us, and we 
suddenly realize that we 
have been renouncing 
all that is greatest
 and best, in our pursuit 
of some phantom.” 
     William George Jordan













“Just breathing can be 
such a luxury sometimes.” 
         Walter Kirn













“If you want to conquer
the anxiety of life, live 
in the moment, live
 in the breath.” 
    Amit Ray

Summer Wandering Waikiki

A L O H A !


We are all together
 in the canoe.
To move forward,
 we must work
together.








"A business that makes 
nothing but money
 is a poor business."
            Henry Ford








"Whither goest thou, 
America,
 in thy shiny car 
in the night?"
           Jack Kerouac






"Coming together 
is a beginning;
 keeping together 
is progress;
 working together 
is success."
       Henry Ford
           






"Don't find fault,
 find a remedy."
Henry Ford
         






"If there is any one secret of success,
 it lies in the ability
 to get the other person's point of view
 and see things
 from that person's angle
 as well as from your own."
Henry Ford
                







"If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability."
Henry Ford
