It's been said before,

but if REALLY grasped

you could save a LOT

of the energy 

that you 

may waste every day.

 

 

Here it is:

 

 

99%

of what we worry about

turns out

O K

in the end.

So choose a lighter feeling

without guilt.

The world needs 

less stress.

"I find love much like a mirror.
 When I love another, he becomes my mirror
 and I become his,
 and reflected in each other's love
 we see infinity!"

Leo Buscaglia

Sky is full of sweep

and drama

If you really look

there is more going on

than you could possibly take in.

And it's constantly

changing.

The Hawaiians of old

could read the skies.

I must say:

after 25 years
under these,

 they are beginning

to speak

to me.

" I still get wildly enthusiastic

about little things...

I play with leaves.

I skip down the street 

and run against the wind.  "

 Life is busy!

That's a truism of modern life.

Many people feel

that they are on a treadmill

of never completed

tasks & obligations.

They are never

here

because they are thinking

about the next

place.

The voyaging Hawaiians of old

were fully present.

"Be here now"

was not a slogan to them

it was self-evident,

a way of being

in the world.

When they voyaged open ocean,

thousands of miles,

with only stars, waves, birds,

knowledge

to guide them,

they spoke of 

"Raising Islands."

Through their Mana

their Spiritual Energy

they brought the mountain 

to Mohammed.

They followed the right,

the Pono way

of being
and acting.

They blessed and became one

with the canoe,

the crew,

the sea

and sky.

And by maintaining this 

presence

they brought the islands

to them.

Over the horizon

first as a bird,

or cloud

or swell,

they raised the island

to which they voyaged.

So be in your present.
Don't 'chase'

Live this very moment.

And when the next arrives

live that one

as well.

And all will be

well.

Bless Us!

Thanks for your welcome visit,

YOUR comments are cherished.

Walk in Ala Moana Park

ALOHA !

Go ahead and click on the photos

Slow Down! This isn't the 'mainland.'

Let's walk in Ala Moana Park

before her parking lots are closed

and become staging areas

for APEC security. . .

Nature is so nurturing, welcoming . . .

SAY! is that tree SNEERING at us?

He's a mean drunk!

" Bacchus, n.: A convenient (nature) deity

invented by the ancients

as an excuse for getting drunk. "

 
Ambrose Bierce

 

 " Bacchus hath drowned more men

than Neptune (god of the seas)."

Thomas Fuller

And speaking of seas,

Ala Moana is a beach park.

Outrigger Canoes at Rest

 

Pupukahi i holomua

" Unite to move forward."

 

Each Hawaiian in the canoe

has to pull together on the call

for the canoe to move forward,

quickly forward.

 

 Each canoe has a soul that is awakened

and reawakened

with blessings.

Anyone who talks to their vehicle

 should understand this!

 They all have given names as well

I ka 'olelo no ke ola, i ka 'olelo no ka make.

  " In speech is life, in speech is death."

 

" Imua means “go forward” in Hawaiian.

Most often said with an  exclamation point:

 IMUA !

Red Rovers

These are not Hawaiian Outrigger Canoes.  What?

Ah! Here he is with his head ON.  (At Splendor of China)

" As soon as you trust yourself, 

you will know how to live. "

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,

Faust

> < } } ( ° >

Isn't it wonderful

just to walk

aimlessly

in the park

together

like this?

Thanks for being here today!

Round the Rainbow Way

A L O H A !

click, CLICK I say on these rainbows

It seems we have rainbows every morning.

Here's the ever popular "double."

" The sun, the earth,

love, friends, 

our very breath

are parts of the banquet. "

Rebecca H. Davis

This one touched ground right beneath my lanai (balcony)

"... and it's that if I ever go looking

for my heart's desire again,

I won't look any further 

than my own backyard;

because if it isn't there,

I never really lost it to begin with. "

Dorothy, 

Wizard of OZ

Look!

" Walk on a rainbow trail; 

walk on a trail of song, 

and all about you will be beauty.

 There is a way out of every dark mist, 

over a rainbow trail. "

 

Andra Davis

the whole circle!

" Somewhere, over the rainbow, 

skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream 

really do come true. "

E.y Harburg

Over The Rainbow

 

can we really see BOTH ends?!

"When one is willing
and able

the gods join in."

Aeschylus

Yes! See it reaching down into the intersection?

" Toto, 

I've a feeling 

we're not in Kansas anymore. 

We must be

over the rainbow! "

 

Dorothy

Hawaii is the land of rainbows.

We even have

MoonBows.

And, as I say,

we have friendly rainbows

on the mountain side

just about every morning .

But I have

N E V E R

seen the 

Whole Circle of the Rainbow

before

!

You know. . . 

Seems like
I have always lived
in the future.

That is, I have seen 

difficulties ahead,

when conventional wisdom

didn't.

I won't bore you

with a list of world affairs

over which I have been

vilified,

and then proven

right,

by events, results,
history.

Long have I been worried

about rising inequality

here in America.


Let's call it
the Problem of Greed.

Finally,
conventional wisdom

is noticing this root

of our many world problems.

As usual,

I find myself seeing

ahead;

And what I am seeing
at long last

looks positive.

Enough people changed minds

and the Berlin Wall came down
without a shot.

The Next Big Thing

will be revolution

in how we treat

each other-

ALL over the 

world.

Elites

are

over.

And 

they

know it.

That's why they are looting

public wealth

on their way

out

the 

door

of history.

I've been right before.

We will 
overcome greed

and politics

with smart 

love.

You might call it 

Aloha.

Perhaps we see the rainbow's end

 with it's legendary treasure
at last.

And not only that 

we discover that
the rainbow is not just

"up  there"
in the sky.


No, 

The rainbow is a 
trail,

a full circle
that

we could not know

or see

before.

The rainbow of fulfillment

begins to form around us
even now.

The 
Rainbow of True Wealth

IS

Us

!

" When the Earth is sick,

the animals will begin to disappear, 

when that happens, 

The Warriors of the Rainbow

will come to save them. "

Chief Seattle
