Call For The Grandest

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Call for the grandest

of all earthly spectacles,

what is that? It is

the sun going to his rest.

Thomas de Quincey

Looking back over the years,

sure there are things I

would do differently.

But that's different from regret

because I'm glad I do see

those situations & people

differently now. It's called

growth and perspective.

And it also makes me patient

with others. Because sometimes

they just don't see it yet.

But they will get there

as I have, gratefully.

The best people don't

try to instruct you. They

just invite you to walk

along if you like. And

there's something so

interesting about them that

you do want to walk

with them a while. . .

If you walk the footsteps

of a stranger, you'll learn

things you never knew

you never knew

Walt Disney

Every positive thought

is a silent prayer which will change your life. Bryant McGill

 We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own. Ben Sweetland

 

In his face there came to be a

brooding peace that is seen

most often in the faces of the

very sorrowful or the very wise.

But still he wandered through

the streets of the town,

always silent and alone. Carson McCullers 

Having a parent that listens

creates a child who believes

their voice matters in this world. Rachel Macy Stafford

Aging is an extraordinary
process where you become
the person you always
should have been.

Joy Sips

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Perfect happiness is

a beautiful sunset, 

the giggle of a grandchild,

the first snowfall. 

It's the little things that

make happy moments, 

not the grand events. Joy 

comes in sips, not gulps.

Little Things Thursday

I Like Thursday

Little tendrils of the heart

Curling out and groping,

Seeking little things to hold,

Wiggling and hoping.

Little tendrils, little tendrils,

innocent and plucky,

I pray that you are careful

And I hope that 

you are lucky.

Gold Dust

A L O H A From Honolulu!

As we are looking back And then we'll Understand We held gold dust In our hands. Tori Ellen Amos

The temple bell stops

but I still hear the sound coming from the flowers. Basho

 

I really just want to be

warm yellow light

that pours over

everyone I love.

A solitary fantasy can

totally transform

one million realities.

The words of my book
nothing,
the drift of it

Beginnings Can Be A Struggle

Difficult roads often

lead to beautiful destinations. Zig Zigler

I am always looking for interesting

scenes to set up on
to quickly and discretely shoot.

Imagine my joy when I
realized later that I had captured

a drink being
drunk (drank?)

for T Tuesday!

to redeem
the work of fools. Patti Smith

Distances

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Words that soak into your ears

are whispered, not yelled. The best sermons are

lived, not preached.

Farm Wisdom

Be grateful for luck. Pay

the thunder no mind -

listen to the birds. And

don't hate nobody.

    Eubie Blake

Green anole is a tree-dwelling species
of anole lizard native to the southeastern
United States and introduced
to islands in the Pacific
and Caribbean. 

If you feel lost, disappointed,

hesitant, or weak,

return to yourself, to

who you are, here and now

and when you get there,

you will discover yourself, like

a lotus flower in full bloom,

even in a muddy pond,

beautiful and strong.

   Masaru Emoto

I've never SEEN a

Bunny in Waikiki!

Still Haven't!

Learning to distance yourself

from all the negativity is

one of the greatest lessons

to achieve inner peace.

Many True Errors

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Science has been built

upon many errors; but

they are errors which it

was good to fall into,

for they led to the truth.

Jules Verne

The sparrows jumped

before they knew

how to fly, and

they learned to fly only

because they had jumped.

Lauren Oliver

An uneven, windy path

is unavoidable to many.

Its unforeseen, exciting adventures

require balance, adjustment,

alertness and attention.

A path that leads to a

rewarding dream of your life. Miriam Hurdle

Earth laughs in flowers.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Open the bloom

of your heart and become

a gift of beauty to the world.
