Honored Guest

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We need to give each other

the space to grow, to be

ourselves, to exercise our diversity.

We need to give each other space so

that we may both give and receive

such beautiful things as ideas,

openness, dignity, joy,

healing, and inclusion. Max De Pree

The sharp thorn often

produces delicate roses.

Ovid

Texture, not volume,

is the key to the wondrous. Anthony Lane

Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes

our abundance. Epicurus

You are not a beggar

at the table of life.

You are the honored guest.

Not Sheep

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If you want to sleep

more soundly, count

blessings, not sheep, Robert A. Emmons

“Thanks!”
his book on gratitude research

A day, a life,

 has seasons.

Emotions

are the weather

Rather Drink Coffee, Thanks

There are years that ask questions

 and years that  answer.

             Zora Neale Hurston

 Life and people are complex. A writer as an artist doesn't have the personality of a politician. We don't see the world that simply. Joyce Carol Oates

 Any fool can be happy. It takes real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep. Clive Barker

H.O.P.E.- Hang On Pain Ends

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Super Moon by Mike Price , Oahu Hawaii

Three things cannot

be long hidden:

the sun, the moon,

and the truth.

Buddha

Morning Met Street Portraits

Our actions in the present

build the staircase

to the future.

The question is whether

that staircase is going

up or down. Craig D. Lounsbrough

[I like the stairs, upper left of the shot.

The sort of thing you only see later

AFTER taking it. Where does it go?

How does it change the photo?

The quote amplifies it's mystery

and mastery of the picture]

I will be the gladdest thing Under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers And not pick one... Edna St. Vincent Millay 

The light at the end

of the tunnel

is your life;

it's the tunnel

that's temporary.

  Michael Josephson

Ten Years, Three Homes, Two Time Zones Ago

If the world comes to an end,

I want to be in Cincinnati.

Everything comes there

ten years later.

The More

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Be different. Be original.

Nobody will remember a

specific flower in a garden filled

with thousands of the

same yellow flower,

but they will remember

the one that managed to

change its color to purple.

Suzy Kassem

The pink pigeon is a species of pigeon

in the family Columbidae

endemic to Mauritius.

The pink pigeon nearly became

extinct in the 1970s and the 1990s

and is still very rare. It is the

only Mascarene pigeon that has

not gone extinct. Wikipedia

*(Google lens guess. More likely a look-alike)

The more I wonder,

the more I love.

Alice Walker

Oh, grown-ups cannot understand,

And grown-ups never will,

How short the way to fairyland

Across the purple hill.

Alfred Noyes

An animal's eyes
have the power to
speak a great language.

Swim the Ocean of Meanings

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You are never too old

to set another goal or

to dream a new dream.

Refuse to be average.

Let your heart soar

as high as it will.

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Follow your heart, but

be quiet for a while first.

Ask questions, then

feel the answer. Learn

to trust your heart.

Far away, far away

Where the balmy breezes blow

Where they sway

while they play

Ukuleles sweet and low

   Gus Kahn

1919 Pandemic Survivor

After a year of this pandemic,

I'm either going out

for ice cream or

to commit a felony.

I'll decide in the car.

Why buy it for $7

when you can make it

yourself with $92

of craft supplies?

Let's Meet For A Drink!

I still have a full deck...

I just shuffle slower.
