Glows

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Honolulu, Friday 7:52 p.m.

The sun's glow 

had given way to 

a brilliant twilight that 

colored the great mountains 

with violet and orange rivers.

If you want to give 

light to others you 

have to glow yourself.

Time, which is so often 

an enemy in life, can 

also become our ally if 

we see how a pale moment 

can lead to a glowing moment, 

and then turn to a moment 

of perfect transparency, 

before dropping again 

to a moment of 

everyday simplicity.

I saw that my life was  a

vast glowing empty page 

and I could do 

anything I wanted.

Jack Kerouac

There are two kinds of light - 

the glow that illuminates, 

and the glare 

that obscures.

James Thurber

Glow Beyond the Fence with Ducks

Shine your light on love 

and truth and 

your soul will glow.

Morning Light Honolulu

A L O H A From Honolulu!

It is early, early morning.

It's that time when it's

still dark but you know

the day is coming.

Blue is bleeding

through black.

Stars are dying.

Markus Zusak

So I find words I never 

thought to speak

In streets I never thought 

I should revisit

When I left my body 

on a distant shore.

T.S. Eliot

During 4 California years,

these are the streets, Trees,

Light, Smells, Sights, and people 

I dreamt of. . . .

Back Door

1916

Hawaii's Queen, Liliuokalani 

was alive

when this was laid.

I walked over it today.

This illustrates the times frame of

our culture and history in the islands.

Driving my taxi here in Honolulu

in the mid 1980s,

I drove a dignified older gentleman

who told me how the Queen

worked in her garden, smoking

small cigars, and graciously

greeting the school children

as they passed, 

Such he had been:

A schoolboy 

who knew a Queen.

The Hawaiian Kingdom

is not merely historic.

For a dark street,

sunshine is most welcome;

for a wounded soul,

love is most welcome!

Mehmet Murat ildan

She is yellow, I'm all blue...

It's ok! What can I do!?

 Liviu C. Tudose

I would never date a lizard OR gecko
 or whatever that thing is.
Keep moving up the wall, buddy,
I'm too yellow for YOU!

Ô, Sunlight! 

The most precious gold 

to be found on Earth.

Don't be afraid of the shadows, 

it only means 

there's a light nearby.

They are the last refuge

There May Wait

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Still round the corner 

there may wait, 

A new road or 

a secret gate.

I am... a mushroom; 

On whom the dew of heaven

And her heart burst like 

the stars do in the end...

 She lit the whole universe 

with her fire 

for a moment...

she was as beautiful 

as the stardust falling 

from the sky and her 

heart didn't 

ache anymore.

Willing Ability

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The most certain sign 

of wisdom is 

cheerfulness.      

Michel de Montaigne

Cool Morning Light

The sign of an

intelligent people is their

ability to control their

emotions by the

application of reason.

Marya Mannes

The ability to take pleasure 

in one's life is a skill 

and is a kind of intelligence.

the ability to know 

how to live a life and 

not be miserable 

is a sign of that.

Todd Solondz

Uncertainty is a sign 

of humility, and 

humility is just the ability 

or the willingness 

to learn.

Charlie Sheen

   

Nothing to prove. I AM right! Simple

The need to be right 

is the sign of 

a vulgar mind.

        Albert Camus
