We can never obtain peace 

in the outer world until we 

make peace with ourselves. 

                   Tenzin Gyatso

Don't be afraid of the sharps, 

flats, or minor keys in 

the melody of your life. 

They give your song it's 

soul and great value. 

Makiki Christian Church Link 

Fear kills Life and Light. 

Awe builds us up and makes us Wise. 

Plug into something judged 

worthy by your own heart.

Let go when it is time, and 

you will find new delight & freedom 

WHATEVER happens next!

See the golden beach sands 

and blue sky

in a cool breeze

my mind flys high.

                   Debasish Mridha

Every now and then 

one paints a picture that 

seems to have opened a door 

and serves as a stepping stone 

to other things. 

                   Pablo Picasso

I will eliminate hatred, 

envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, 

by developing love for all humanity, 

because I know that a negative attitude 

toward others can never bring me success. 

I will cause others to believe in me, 

because I will believe in them, 

and in myself.”

All real works of art 

look as though they 

were done in joy.

           Robert Henri

One's pain is one's own creation. 

There is a Tibetan expression that 

one should treat such things as if 

they were wind behind one's ear. 

In other words, just brush it aside. 

                    Dalai Lama

If you make an effort to be grateful right now, to notice and dwell on the good stuff, to actually say "thank you" internally as you go along, it will only feel weird for a while. Eventually it takes on a life and rhythm of it's own that can really draw you in as long as you wish to maintain it. Sort of a 'Comfort Spiral.' And one good thing is, that it prevents the tiny black weeds from growing up and choking your joy. Cloudia

Person Spreads In All Directions

A  L  O  H  A !

There is no glory in star 

or blossom till looked upon 

by a loving eye; There is 

no fragrance in April breezes 

till breathed with joy 

as they wander by. 

            William Cullen Bryant

Rest and be kind, 

you don’t have to 

prove anything. 

   Jack Kerouac

The fragrance of flowers 

spreads only in the direction 

of the wind. -

- But the 

goodness of a person spreads 

in all directions.

Let It Be You

A  L  O  H  A !

The great person, 

in the midst of the crowd,

keeps with perfect sweetness

the independence of solitude.

Don't Short Your Strengths

A  L  O  H  A !

In evaluating ourselves, we tend to be long on our weaknesses and short on our strengths.

Ah Waikiki! Wait. What's that on the roof?

You are only young once, 

but you can stay 

immature indefinitely. 

         Ogden Nash

That is not a deck, balcony or lanai. 

No rails, not meant for people.

"If the sight of the blue skies 

fills you with joy, if a 

blade of grass springing up 

in the fields has power to 

move you, if the simple things 

of nature have a message that 

you understand, rejoice, for 

your soul is alive.
