Small Brought Together

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The wind whispered secrets in its

own incomprehensible language.

Tracy Rees

We will never allow

a nefarious minority

to outshine the majority

of caring, thinking citizens

The golden opportunity you are seeking

is in yourself. It is not in your

environment it is not in luck or

chance, or the help of others

it is in yourself alone. Orison Swett Marden

A light wind swept

over the corn, and

all nature laughed

in the sunshine. Anne Bronte

A happy soul is the best

shield for a cruel world. Atticus

Great things are not done by

impulse, but by a series of small

things brought together. Vincent van Gogh

A Couple of Secret Tips

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Whatever comes,

let it come.

What stays,

let it stay.

What goes,

let it go.

  H. W. L. Poonja

I am determined to be

cheerful and happy

in whatever situation

I may find myself...

...For I have learned that

the greater part of

our misery or unhappiness

is determined not by

our circumstance but

by our disposition.

   Martha Washington 

There is only one way

to happiness and that

is to cease worrying about

things which are beyond

the power of our will.

    Epictetus 

True happiness is...

to enjoy the present,

without anxious

dependence upon

the future.

   Seneca

Out There

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Different times, different directions,

changing seasons, yield different,

changing sights. 

Photography is an austere

and blazing poetry of the real.

    Ansel Adams

Four Palms

Photography deals exquisitely

with appearances, but nothing

is what it appears to be.

    Duane Michals

Taking pictures is like tiptoeing

into the kitchen late at night

and stealing Oreo cookies.

  Diane Arbus

The camera is an instrument

that teaches people how to

see without a camera.
     Dorothea Lange

If you are out there shooting,

things will happen for you.

If you’re not out there,

you’ll only hear about it. Jay Maisel

It’s one thing to

make a picture

of what a person

looks like,

it’s another thing to

make a portrait of

who they are.

Beauty Forces

A   L   O   H   A  !

Why does every road 

eventually narrow 

into a point 

at the horizon? 

Because that's where 

the point lies.

    Vera Nazarian

It is only 

through shadows 

that one comes to 

know the light.

     Catherine of Siena

Stars don’t beg 

the world for 

attention; 

their beauty forces 

us to look up.

 Matshona Dhliwayo

Pixie Says: Keep Safe!

Part of being 

a Master is 

learning how to 

sing in nobody 

else's voice 

but your own.

View From 254 Miles High

A  L  O  H  A !

I like this spot in Waikiki and photo it a lot.

"I take my time. I want to be

myself. I don't deny myself in

the here and now. 

This is our

practice-we call it aimless-

ness. We don't put a goal in

front of ourselves and run after

it constantly. If we do, we'll be

running all our life and never

be happy. 

Happiness is possible

only when you stop running
and cherish the present
moment and who you are. Who
you are is already a wonder; you
don't need to be someone else.

You are a wonder of life."

            Thich Naht Hanh

Promised View from 254 miles high:

With Joy

A  L  O  H  A !

Star lost

in the light of dawn,

trill of the breeze,

warmth, breath—

the night is done.

You are light and morning.

           Cesare Pavese

A single poem, alone

can turn tides

scatter galaxies

and burst forth with rivers

from paradise.

              Sanober Khan

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.

                 Eskimo Song,  Uvavnuk

Sunlight On Your Face

A  L  O  H  A !

Don't judge each day 

by the harvest 

you reap, but by 

the seeds you plant. 

            Robert Louis Stevenson

“There is strong shadow 

where there is much light.” 

                Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

[like politically in my US?]

" It must have been cold 

there in my shadow, to 

never have sunlight 

on your face."

        Bette Midler
