Goodness smiles

A  L  O  H  A !
Goodness smiles - never shouts

ignorance

 can drown it out







But by and by
the Truth
 will out









all warm to the smile,
forgetting the shout.

Daughter Water

" - our jealousy, 
anger, hatred, fear - 
can be put to an end.  

When you realize 
that these emotions
 are only temporary,
 that they always pass on
 like clouds in the sky, 
you also realize
 they can ultimately be 
abandoned.  "

Tenzin Gyatso








" I am the daughter
 of Earth and Water,












" And the nursling of the Sky;















" I pass through the pores 














" of the ocean 











"  and shores;













" I change,













 but I cannot die...."

Percy Bysshe Shelley,
 "The Cloud"

Feathery Curtains o'er the Sun's Bright

" A pessimist 
sees only the dark side 
of the clouds, 
and mopes;
 a philosopher 
sees both sides, 
and shrugs; 
an optimist 
doesn't see 
the clouds at all -
 (s)he's  walking on them. "

       Leonard Louis Levinson

Morning in Waikiki

" With the new day 
comes new strength
 and new thoughts. "

Eleanor Roosevelt 










Time to get out of bed

" Any idiot can face a crisis - 
it's day to day living
 that wears you out. "

Anton Chekhov 












Waves of joyous energy 
radiate above -




" Yesterday is dead, 
tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. -




















 - And Below





 - I have just one day,
 today, 
and I'm going to be
 happy in it. "


Groucho Marx 
(Noted 20th Century Philosopher)

Bright is too bright.  In places we see light
 more than the flower radiating it.



Morning light of Waikiki

and bless the eyes

who see.


Share your waves 

of light

with bliss,

As we
