Whatever you focus 

your attention on 

will become important 

to you even if 

it's unimportant.

Sonya Parker

Very little is needed 

to make a happy life; 

it is all within yourself, 

in your way of thinking. 

  Marcus Aurelius

 Only as one is willing 

to give up present 

limitations and identity 

can one become that 

which one desires 

to be.

   Neville Goddard

The smallest feline 

is a masterpiece.

Leonardo da Vinci

It is so self evident

yet strangely shocking

to reflect on these

unprecedented times.

Normal is gone and buried.

Even as we simulate

and try to resurrect it.

So, fellow creatures of habit.

What do we do now?

No one knows.

Admitting that is important,

bringing a weird relief.

One sways between

joy in small returns,

and awful recognition

that things, that we,

will never be as we were.

What sprouts ahead is

unknown but worth it.

We made it,

you and I.

Wiser. Resigned.

Reborn.

Glad to see you here

on the other side.

Go gently.

"[In the aftermath of death] 

Small talk feels too small, 

big talk too enormous."

What A (Normal) Day

 A L O H A From Honolulu !

There are no limits. 

There are only plateaus, and 

you must not stay there, 

you must go beyond them.

      Bruce Lee

If my ship sails from sight,

it doesn't mean my journey ends, 

it simply means the river bends.

                   Enoch Powell

Worry is a misuse 

of imagination.

Dan Zadra

Made for spirituality, 

we wallow in introspection. 

Made for joy, we settle 

for pleasure. 

Made for justice, 

we clamor 

for vengeance. 

         N. T. Wright

If only we'd stop 

trying to be happy, 

we could have a 

pretty good time.

Lift

A  L  O  H  A !

One can pay back the loan of gold, 
but one dies forever in debt 
to those who are kind.

                       Malayan Proverb

 Know how to give without hesitation, 

how to lose without regret, 

how to acquire without meanness.

                  George Sand

Kindness is more than deeds. 

It is an attitude, an expression, 

a look, a touch. 

It is anything that 

lifts another person.

Sometimes we

get the best results

by turning off

the brain.

Dancing! Wooing!

Fro-ing - Too-ing!

Some things

go better

without too much

strain.

And the things

we ought to ponder?

On automatic 

all the time!

It might DO 

to reconsider

0ur Ways we  

think Just Fine.

Life is rich & complex.

Dare to let it be -

Turn off the brain,

walk in the rain,

and find your 

child's knowing 

in your belly

once again.

Thank YOU

for dancing with

us here!

Even here
in the sub-tropics,
Autumn
changes things.
The quality of light,
the smells in the breeze,
the cycles of
crops, herbs,
animals and fishes
known so well
to the Hawaiians 
of old.

We're riding this world
Together.

Thank Goodness
for that!

Thank You,

Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams

A L O H A !

" If you look around, 

you can find a face of God

 in each thing, because 

He is not hidden

 in a church, in a mosque,

 or a synagogue, 

but everywhere. . .

Who finds Him, 

stays forever with him. "

Hawaii State Library LINK

Opened February 1, 1913,Territory of Hawaii

A "Carnegie Library"

In 1841, 

life expectancy at birth 

was 40 years for males 

and 42 years for females.

By 1900 it was 

52 and 57.

Today it is 79 and 83. 

So many things change with time.

"Starting today, 

starting now,

those who have been 

invisible,

will be visible to themselves 

and to others. "
