The Only Choice

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We can only face one

direction at a time.

We are either

looking at the sun, or

looking into the dark.

I didn't always understand

this choice. But

have learned that when

I look to the sun

I am filled with light.

When I look to the dark

and to my fears,

everything only gets darker.

Rage against dark by

turning your back on it.

 You have purpose

and meaning,

your time is coming,

keep going and don't

listen to the noise,

everyone has an opinion,

have they built anything? Kalman Samuels

Every day we have a choice.

How you see the world

determines the world you see.

Look for the good.

See the possibilities.

Remember, challenges

are opportunities. Jon Gordon

Real religion is the

transformation of

anxiety into laughter.

Alan Watts

Cannot Be Copied

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The wise one who has become

accustomed to necessities knows

better how to share with others

than how to take from them,

so great a treasure of self-

sufficiency have they found. Epicurus

I like to think that the

moon is there even if

I am not looking at it.

 Albert Einstein

Who lives on illusions,

dies of disillusion.

South American Proverb

 A joyful life is an

individual creation that cannot be copied

from a recipe. Mihaly Csikszentmihaly

Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about. Oscar Wilde

A Bit of Light Dispels

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A little bit of light

dispels a lot of darkness. Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi

Outward courage

dares to die; Inner courage dares to live. Lao Tzu

When I started feeling

the drag of winter, I

began to treat myself like a

favored child: with kindness and love.

I assumed my needs were reasonable

and that my feelings were

signals of something important.

     Katherine May

In America law is king. Thomas Paine

When angels visit us, we do not hear the

rustle of wings, but

we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts. Mary Baker Eddy

 We often need to get out

of alignment with the rest

of the world to get back

into alignment with ourselves. Real confidence looks like humility.

 Last year's words belong to

last year's language; And

next year's words await

another voice. And to

make an end is

to make a beginning. T.S. Eliot

Be strong enough

to be gentle. And

smart enough to not

act like the smartest

person in the room.

Let your heart speak 

to others' hearts.

 If you have heart,

you can do anything.

World Stands Aside

A L O H A From Honolulu!

To love and be loved

is to feel the sun

from both sides.

David Viscott 

Too many of us are

not living our dreams

because we are

living our fears.

Be a friend to thyself,

and others will

be so too.

Cool Uplands Breeze

A L O H A From Honolulu!

And like tea dissolving

in hot water, the sun

dissolved in the sky… 

creating a velvet horizon,

announcing for the stars’

night dance with the moon,

the awaited joy for

the wounded souls.

      Abeer Allan

The zebra dove, also known as the

barred ground dove, or barred

dove, is a species of bird of the

dove family, Columbidae, native

to Southeast Asia. They are

small birds with a long tail,

predominantly brownish-grey in

colour with black-and-white barring.

    Wikipedia

The peaceful dove is a pigeon

native to Australia and New Guinea.

The peaceful dove is closely related to the

zebra dove of south-east Asia and

the barred dove of eastern Indonesia.

Until recently, the three were classed

as a single species, Geopelia striata,

known as peaceful dove or zebra dove.

This feral rooster looks like a dorking chicken *

Any view of things

that is not strange,

is false.

  Neil Gaiman

If the vines are not stressed, The wine is insipid.

I want to learn how

to speak to anyone

at any time and

make us both

feel a little bit better,

lighter, richer, with

no commitments of

ever meeting again.

I want to go back to the

way nature shaped me.

I want to learn to go on well

with whatever I have in

my hands at the moment

in a natural state of mind

Cloudy Vows

A L O H A From Honolulu!

All the variety,

all the charm, all

the beauty of life

is made up of

light and shadow.

Tolstoy

(I am) grateful that

even though my heart

has been broken by

the loss of important

relationships and the

death of loved ones,

it still pumps strongly,

fueled by compassion.

   Rhonda J. Miller

"Just a minute," said

a voice in the weeds.

So I stood still in

the day's exquisite

early morning light.

Mary Oliver 

Why I Wake Early

In a world of love

lightning and rainbow

are lovers now.

They arc and strike

upon the horizon of credence

to rise above their cloudy vow

of the world

worth knowing are

hiding in plain sight. Robin Sloan
