Soul Food

A   L   O   H   A  !

Yesterday is not 

ours to recover, 

but tomorrow is ours 

to win or lose. 

Lyndon B. Johnson

The learner always begins 

by finding fault, but 

the scholar sees the 

positive merit in 

everything. 

         Hegel

Don't be eye candy, 

be soul food.     

Truida Genis

You are the sum total 

of everything you've ever 

seen, heard, eaten, smelled, 

been told, forgot - it's all there. 

Everything influences each of us, 

and because of that I try 

to make sure that my 

experiences are positive.

Sweet Forgotten

A  L  O  H  A !

One day, your light 

will silence the darkness, 

and you will be surrounded 

by the beauty within.

          A.D. Posey

There is not anything 

in the world stronger 

than tenderness.

Han Suyin

If you love the sacred 

and despise the ordinary

you are still bobbing in 

the sea of illusion.

   Linji Yixuan

When you were young, 

trying to find your way in life, 

was there a book, a routine, 

devotional practice, 

or daily positive that 

really improved your life? 

You felt renewed, and 

promised yourself that 

you'd never forget this 

source, this treasure! 

Perhaps you have made it 

a part of your life 

over all these years, 

on your bookshelf right now. 

But, you know, often 

it is the things 

right in front of us 

that we no longer really see. 

Over time, we all lose our vital, 

living connection with 

our wonderful treasures 

in the routine press of life’s 

activities and demands. 

Today I invite you to revisit 

the books, 

ideas, and practices 

that meant so much 

to you on the early days 

of your journey. 

 How could I have forgotten? 

But we do. 

Then once the well is cleared, 

the water is sweet again. 

Maybe, like me, you forgot 

how sweet it really is

We Love You,

Life Places

A  L  O  H  A !

But on you will go

though the weather be foul.

On you will go

though your enemies prowl.

On you will go

though the Hakken-Kraks howl.

Onward up many

a frightening creek,

though your arms may get sore

and your sneakers may leak.

      Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Old God sure was in

a good mood when 

he made this place.

     Hunter S. Thompson

Life…we understand it 

differently at different stages. 

It’s what is interesting 

about getting older, 

you realize your 

relationship 

with the past is 

always negotiable. . .

Drinking Companion, Hideaway Bar
Link (Since re-furbished)

. . .There is a lot of freedom in that, 

because you realize you can go 

back to what you did 

such a long time ago. . .

. . .You can talk with the dead, 

talk with your lost self, 

your disappeared self, and 

you can visit those places again, 

and understand it differently. 

That makes a huge difference.

Jeanette Winterson

I visited many places,

Some of them quite

Exotic and far away,

But I always returned 

to myself.

Belly Rub?

A   L   O   H   A  !

Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, 

and unallied with definite form, 

can speak to the soul in a 

thousand different ways.

 Gardens are not made by 

singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' 

and sitting in the shade.

Rudyard Kipling

Never have a companion 

that casts you in the shade. 

Baltasar Gracian

When I am content, I want 

to lie forever in the shade, till I 

become a shade myself.

Bus Stops In Heaven

A  L  O  H  A !

Saratoga Road Bus Stop, Waikiki

"So many people are waiting

 for their happiness to come. 

It's not here yet, 

but they are waiting. 

It's like standing in a line 

waiting for your bus. 

Kalia Road Bus Stop

One day, people say, 

my ship will come. 

One day, I'll make it. 

One day, I'll be happy. 

Yet, incredibly enough, 

there has always been 

someone who has pointed out 

the simple fact that what 

we are looking for is inside." 

           Maharaji

Here The Stones & Rocks 

"POHAKU"

We have had a relationship 

for 30 years.

They watch me pass, grow older.

I recognize, and salute them.
