How To Be Lucky

A  L  O  H  A !

Century Center, Makiki Stream, Honolulu

We ought to lay up a stock of absurd enthusiasms in our youth, or else we shall reach the end of our journey with an empty heart, for we lose a great many on our way.

Victor Cherbuliez, Samuel Brohl 

1877 translated from French

Barrier Of Palms

I'm interested in everything 

but passionate about nothing.

Every age has its happiness

and troubles.

   Jeanne Calment

I took pleasure when I could. 

I acted clearly and morally 

and without regret. 

I'm very lucky.

Inexpensive Way To Change Your Looks

A  L  O  H  A !

Nobody sees a flower really; 

it is so small. We haven't time, 

and to see takes time - like 

to have a friend takes time.

Spirit's Janitor

A  L  O  H  A !

Everything on the earth has a purpose, 

every disease an herb to cure it,

and every person a mission.  

This is the Indian theory of existence.

Christal Quintasket - Salish

Things that touch us

 when we are very young 

have a special resonance

 life-long; Even more so

in mature years.

"I am the Spirit's janitor....

 all I do is wipe the windows a bit, 

so you can see out for yourself."

  Godfrey Chips - Lakota

Truth Emerges

A  L  O  H  A !

People generally see 

what they look for, and 

hear what they listen for.

  Harper Lee

Every artist dips his brush

 in his own soul, and paints his 

own nature into his pictures.

   Henry Ward Beecher

They're only truly great 

who are truly good.

   George Chapman 

Right is right, even if 

everyone is against it, 

and wrong is wrong, even if 

everyone is for it.

You ARE Enough

A  L  O  H  A !

The more unexpected something is,

the more there is to learn from it.

Michael J. Fox

1 - E

Age is a seasoned trickster. 

Within ourselves, the 

same yearnings of youth; the 

same aspirations of adolescence, 

will last a lifetime. Only to

the young - blinded by 

our grey hair and slowing gait - 

do we appear old and

increasingly beyond the pale.

                            Alex Morritt

Morning Moon

It is one of the most beautiful compensations 

of this life that you cannot sincerely try to 

help another without helping yourself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
