Touch The Miracle

A L O H A From Honolulu!

African tulip tree (Spathodea campanulata)

an evergreen tree native to West Africa.

Our choice is stark.

Therefore, choose life!

Yes;

My blood pressure too

skyrockets when

I see the news,

but I'm also finding

a deep resignation

in a radically simple faith

that practices kindness and

refuses to be disempowered

by fear.

Art, Rest & retreat are important tools. Nurture your light.

A father used to buy goods from

poor people at a high price,

even though he didn't need them.

Sometimes he paid way

more for them. His children

were amazed. One day they asked

"why are you doing this dad?"

Their father replied:

"It's charity wrapped in dignity."

Saima Muneer

We are all equal in the fact

that we are all different.

We are all the same

in the fact that we will

never be the same.

We are united by the

reality that all colours and

all cultures are distinct &

individual. We are harmonious

in the reality that we are all

held to this earth by

the same gravity. C. JoyBell C.

Find a day for yourself

better yet, late at night.

Go to the forest or to the

field, or lock yourself in a room.

You will meet solitude there.

There you will be able to listen

attentively to the noise of the

wind first, to birds singing, to see

wonderful nature and to notice

yourself in it, and to come back

to harmonic connection with the

world and its Creator.

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

Many people are alive

but don’t touch

the miracle of

being alive. Thích Nhất Hạnh

It is quite possible to

leave your home for a walk

in the early morning air, and

return a different person -

beguiled, enchanted.

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Hibiscus that is native to Africa, most likely West Africa and also found in India especially Maharashtra with local name ambali. In the 16th and early 17th centuries it was spread to the West Indies and Asia, respectively, where it has since become naturalized in many places.[1] The stems are used for the production of bast fibre and the dried cranberry-tasting calyces are commonly steeped to make a popular infusion known as carcade.

The hardest job kids face today 

is learning good manners 

without seeing any.

     Fred Astaire

Why is the rabbit unafraid?

Because he's smarter

than the panther.

     The Edge

This is a fierce bad rabbit

look at his savage whiskers,

and his claws and his

turned up tail.

Light + Paste

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Haters, you only make the light

brighter by your darkness, and

bring allies our way. You fuel our

determination to give everybody's

children a better tomorrow.

Your day is over.

"Cut + paste"

used to involve a blade

and actual paste.

You used your hands,

not a keyboard-

Plumeria pudica is a species of the genus Plumeria. It has leaves in the

shape of a cobra's hood.

How we perceive our aging process —

how we feel about [our own] aging

— is an important determinant of

physical health, psychological

health and even longevity.

Yoav Bergman,

social psychologist, faculty of social work

Bougainvillea

Peace is not something

you wish for, 

it is something you make, 

something you are, 

something you do, and 

something you give away.

Robert Fulghum

You Distant Friends

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The most important thing is to enjoy your life —to be happy— it's all that matters. Audrey Hepburn

Still round the corner

there may wait,

A new road

or a secret gate.

J. R. R. Tolkien 

Luminous beings are we,

not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Yoda

When I was young

I admired clever people,

Now that I am old,

 I admire kind people.

 Abraham Joshua Heschel 

Nothing makes the earth 

seem so spacious 

as to have friends 

at a distance; they make 

the latitudes and longitudes. 

Henry David Thoreau

Nothing Gained by Worry

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Angel Fish on the Reef

Greatness isn't achieved by worrying

what everyone thinks of you.

Don't look outside.

The praise, criticism, expectations;

it's all just noise. Look inside to

your heart and soul and do your thing.

Do it with love and create

greatness from the inside out. Jon Gordon

Thoughts are wonderful things,

that they can bring two people,

so far apart, into harmony and

understanding for even a little while.

    Ernie Pyle

Sing with your voices,

your hearts, your

lips and your lives.

 Augustine Of Hippo

If people sat outside and

looked at the stars each night, 

I'll bet they'd live

a lot differently.

  Bill Watterson

The mellow sweetness of

pumpkin pie off a prison spoon is

something you will never forget.

Mitchell Burgess

Never say 'no' to adventures.

Always say 'yes,'

otherwise you'll lead

a very dull life.

Ian Fleming
