Songs Resume

A  L  O  H  A  From Honolulu!
When you come out of 

the storm you won't be 

the same person 

who walked in. That's 

what this storm's 

all about.

Haruki Murakami







Every Morning This Time of Year!

It is the sign of a great mind 

to dislike greatness, and to 

prefer things in measure 

to things in excess.   
  
Lucius Annaeus Seneca


Rainbows are the perfect 
measure of light, 
droplets, and appreciator.

That's US!





Honolulu Historic Chinatown Link
These sidewalks and curbs
are 19th Century! My favorite
district on Oahu. Wait,
Waikiki is a great home.
I sort of love the mountains
too. Don't forget the jungle!







Mickey Mouse Plant - Ochna serrulata







You must pass your days 

in song. 

Let your whole life 

be a song. 

Sai Baba


᭛᭛᭛᭛᭩

After the ghost-town times
of lock-down, Waikiki
and Oahu are coming back
to life. Some of us are
still waiting the vaccines
[should get to my youthful
age-group perhaps this
month] while also minding
the precautions that got
us this far. It's a wonder
what adult leadership 
can accomplish in under
60 days, after
4 years of tumult.
It feels good to see
human activity!
Dark hotels shine
their windows again.

The rainbows bravely
appear every morning.

Thank YOU
for appearing here
like the rainbow.
You bring even more
beautiful colors
to us all!

Love You,

Compassion Makes You Strong

 A  L  O  H  A From Honolulu!


To be inspirational is to be 

crazy enough to live a little.

 Criss Jami








Exclude yourselves from the 

inflammatory environs of fools.

Michael Bassey Johnson












A star does not compete 

with other stars around it; 

it just shines.

Matshona Dhliwayo










I have always loved their logo.
Big Blue here is new to me!
Old Original:



The most important thing 

in business is a persona, 

And when they think about you,

 you've got to stand out 

in their minds--like

 one of those characters 

in a novel.

Candace Bushnell



Ok. It's a graphic, NOT a mural. Hope you'll pardon my near miss, Mural fans!









Compassion makes you strong, 

caring and creative. It creates 

a different attitude, a level of 

maturity and understanding, 

where you do something which 

makes you stand out of crowd.

              Amit Ray





Won't Find ME standing in a Crowd!

Be an encourager.

The world has plenty

of critics already.

Many Faces

 A  L  O  H  A   From Honolulu!

I never tire of rainbows. May they never tire of me!

The future is always 

beginning now.

     Mark Strand





Real generosity toward the future 

lies in giving all to the present.

                Albert Camus





It takes a lot of imagination 

to be a good photographer.  . .

in photography everything 

is so ordinary; it takes a 

lot of looking before you 

learn to see the ordinary.

 David Bailey







Lilies Sillies









Getaway, N. Shore Oahu

Sometimes you need 

to step outside, 

get some fresh air and 

remind yourself 

of who you are and 

who you want to be.

Gossip Girl 






A positive attitude gives you 

power over your circumstances 

instead of your circumstances 

having power over you. 

                                Joyce Meyer

Twinkling

 A L O H A  From Honolulu!

North Shore

You never step in 

the same river twice.

It's not the same river ;

You're not the same person.

           Heraclitus 











Pixie wants this to be a quilt!

A photographer is an acrobat 

treading the high wire 

of chance, trying to 

capture shooting stars.

Guy Le Querrec












Kolea at the nest. They lay in the
crotch of a tree, no construction!











A great one must have 

a long heart.

                              Ethiopian 
                                                  on leadership












Zebra Doves.  Lovey Dovey!


The soul refuses limits, and 

always affirms an Optimism,

Never a Pessimism. 

Emerson

















This evening is as brief as 

the twinkling of an eye yet 

such twinklings is what 

eternity is made of.

Love one another and 

help others to rise to 

the higher levels, simply 

by pouring out love.
 
Love is infectious and the
 
greatest healing energy.

Fly Kolea

 A  L  O  H  A  
                 From Honolulu!
The greatest weapon

against stress is our

ability to choose one

thought over another.

  William James








Sometimes the most
ordinary things could
be made extraordinary,
simply by doing them
with the right people.
            Elizabeth Green

               And Looking UP 
                       Once in a while!








Feelings are real.
They often become one’s
reality. But they are not
always based on truth.
                  Jesikah Sundin








There is no personal charm

so great as the charm of a

cheerful temperament.

                    Henry Van Dyke













"The Kōlea, Pacific Golden Plover, is a migratory bird that comes to Hawai‘i from Siberia and Alaska at the end of August and leaves for its trip across the north Pacific in late-April to early-May.

The bird’s Hawaiian name, Kōlea, is a phonetic imitation of the sound of its flight call.  One olelo no‘eau (Hawaiian proverb) states ‘Ai no ke kolea a momona hoi i Kahiki!’ (The Kōlea eats until he is fat, and then returns to the land from which he came.)

Unlike many birds capable of trans-oceanic migrations, Kōlea can neither soar nor glide; and, they can’t swim.

When Kōlea fly between Hawai‘i and Alaska, they will continuously beat their wings twice per second for about fifty hours over some 2,500 miles of open ocean—one of the most grueling non-stop migrations in the avian world." Peter T. Young Link





There's a great big 

beautiful world out there,

just waiting to open 

and flower again.

Savor the nectar

that this day brings!

Fragile Rock

 A  L  O  H  A  From Honolulu!


We are  harder than rock

 and more fragile 

than an egg. 

  Yugoslav Proverb








Walking in the morning 

takes you to beautiful places 

where light and shade make love.

Mohamed Shareef


















Remember, you don’t have to 

attend every argument 

you are invited to.









































The wise heart resembles a mirror,

reflecting everything without

becoming sullied.

             Confucius















Once you've been loved by a cat,
you can never go back;
you're over the puss-ipice!


And WE
Love
YOU,
