your blessing in a stone.

through cities and countries wide.
And everywhere I went,

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Tiny Diamond Head Honolulu Town

You carry greatness
disguised in
tiny potentials. Israelmore Ayivor

Rebirth of Hope

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The last of the human freedoms:
to choose one's attitude in
any given set of circumstances. Viktor Frankl



To be endowed with
a generous mind,
this is the best
kind of nobility.
Plato




As I get older... I start to
realize that life ain't half bad.
Each year, I'm amazed
that I'm still alive.
I don't take any of this for
granted, I'm a lucky dude.
Dave Grohl



Ecstasy of reverie. Faery-fervid,
of uncharted seas, glory on which her
galleon might sail, undiscovered countries
of spice and sweetness, Aleister Crowley
12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947



Gratitude can start
as a mental exercise,
something you are doing. But
if you live it long enough,
it becomes something
that is doing you.
My life goal is to remain
grateful, humble, kind and yes
happy, right till the end.

New Moment

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Flowers have spoken to me
more than I can tell
in written words.
They are the
hieroglyphics of angels,
loved by all men for
the beauty of their character,
though few can decipher
even fragments of their
meaning.
Lydia M. Child




New morning, new moment 
of miracles.
        Lailah Gifty Akita





Josh Green MD is our current Lieutenant Governor
and an Emergency Physician. He proved himself
as an effective leader being in charge of Hawaii's
#1 in USA covid response, He was on social
media explaining & sharing numbers and
news all day every day. He found
hard-to-get supplies; He was
everywhere meeting people and 
making it happen for us in an
uncertain times. He reassured
and he led.

He and his family became the target of our
SMALL minority of anti-vax types who dogged
him with virulent antisemitic attacks
including bullhorns all night outside his home.

The islands have been largely free of
the oldest hate and our tiny Jewish
population of the islands has had
an out-sized positive influence
including one recent (R) Governor
and the massive Weinberg Charities.

After enduring all that, and working
hard all day, he walked his
neighborhood in the early morning
hours, tearing down
antisemitic flyers before his young 
teen children could see them.

THEN he campaigned for Governor!

He has obvious Aloha for people,
and a broad humane intellect.
I am beyond happy today!



State Representative, Dist 24

(D) TAM, Adrian - 4,239 / 64.8%

(R) ANDERSON, Jillian T.- 2,010/ 30.7%

In Hawaii, we hold signs with our
candidates and wave at the drivers
on their way to and from work.
I got a lot of exercise with my
State Representative Adrian this cycle!

Thrilled that my young neighbor
has been Re- Elected!




I'm not a political animal,
I'm a curious animal.
Morgan Fairchild

Rainbow Season

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Rainbows are the perfect combination of light, water droplets, and
appreciation!



Ipomoea obscura leaf
the obscure morning glory
emerging through monstera



Carry so much love in your heart that there's no room left for hatred. Rithvik Singh




Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain —
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.
   Edgar Allan Poe





There are two means
of refuge from the
misery of life - music
and cats.
Albert Einstein

With a good friend
the hours are short.
Basque proverb 



 Take heart. If you are alive today, You are a warrior
of the soul. 




I will wear no label
but my name




Sometimes in the morning,
when it's a good surf,
I go out there,
and I don't feel like
it's a bad world.
Kary Mullis


When the bee
comes to your house,
let her have beer;
you may want to visit the
bee's house some day.
   Congo Proverb



I just have one question for you.
Are you a stronger, better
person than you were
back in 2015?
We have all had
opportunities to clarify
our behaviours and beliefs.
What do YOU think?

Foolish Angel

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Intelligence is knowing
what is true but
wisdom is knowing
what is good.


The greatest fools in
the universe are men
who think they are
smarter than women.
 Matshona Dhliwayo




When a humble person
accomplishes something
it is sweet for everyone.
When an egotist
accomplishes something,
it carries the stink
of their self-centeredness. 

 In the seventeenth century
"self-centered" meant
"fixed or stationary."


A foolish angel is better
than an intelligent devil.
   Matshona Dhliwayo





It's the little things
that matter, that
add up in the end, with
the priceless thrilling magic
found only in a friend.
Elizabeth Dunphy
