 A   L   O   H   A  !

The things that go 

wrong for you 

have a lot of 

potential to become 

your gift to the world.

Krista Tippet

At times the world 

may seem an unfriendly 

and sinister place, but 

believe that there is 

much more good in it 

than bad. 

All you have to do 

is look hard enough. 

And what might seem 

to be a series of 

unfortunate events 

may in fact be the

first steps of a journey. 

      Lemony Snicket

At the end of the day, 

remind yourself that 

you did the best 

you could today, and 

that is good enough.

Greetings From Oahu

 A   L   O   H   A  !

 

“Nights and days 

came and passed 

And summer and winter

and the rain.

And it was good to 

be a little Island.

A part of the world

and a world of its own

All surrounded by 

the bright blue sea.

                    Margaret Wise Brown

 The Security fence

is reversible,

Human lives

are irreversible.

     Silvan Shalom

There is more to knowing 

than just being correct.

One joy 

scatters a 

hundred griefs.

         Chinese proverb

Oahu, Which is Honolulu County

is going back into lockdown

at midnight. After months

of very low infections,

our numbers started

to climb. Obviously,

people everywhere

are coping with this

situation that none of us

have experienced before.

So be easy with yourself.

General Amnesty

self-undermining.

You are doing

G R E A T!

Have a treat.

Yes. It is fully human

to care.

But also to

endure, survive,

and even have fun

along the way.

Celebrate even a 

single joy.

I won't tell!

Love You,

is a fad that won’t 

last out the year.

Fools Never Do

 A   L   O   H   A !

Although our intellect 

always longs for 

clarity and certainty, 

our nature often 

finds uncertainty 

fascinating.

      Carl von Clausewitz

If ignorance is bliss, 

why aren't more 

people happy?

    English Proverb

"Whoever drinks beer, 

he is quick to sleep; 

whoever sleeps long, 

does not sin; 

whoever does not sin, 

enters Heaven! Thus, 

let us drink beer!”

fool never will.

Combat Of Fools

 A   L   O   H   A !

Too many people

merely shop

the truths and 

opinions of others,

never troubling to look

deeply enough

to form their own.

Such folks

consider conversation

a competition.

Cheering on their 

ready-made

allegiances, sadly failing

to find the thrill of

discovering fuller truth

by really listening 

to one another.

Collaboration is

the opposite

of capitulation.

Only the self-confident

can play in the fields

of ideas, growing

wisdom all the while.

Anyway, 

that's what Pixie

tells me

this morning!

LOVE YOU!

A Silent Available

 A   L   O   H   A  !

Whatever the 

present moment contains, 

accept it as if you 

had chosen it. Always 

work with it, 

not against it.

Eckhart Tolle

True silence is 

the rest of the mind; 

it is to the spirit 

what sleep is 

to the body, 

nourishment and 

refreshment.

     William Penn

Old age is 

not a disease - 

it is strength and 

survivorship, 

triumph over all kinds 

of vicissitudes and 

disappointments, 

trials and illnesses.

Maggie Kuhn

The truth you 

believe and cling to, 

makes you 

unavailable 

to hear 

anything new.
