Second Oldest Question

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 I think I have learnt something

of the value of stillness.

I don't fret so much;

I laugh at myself more often;

I don't laugh at others.

I live life at my own pace.

Like a banyan tree.

Is this wisdom,

or is it just old age?

    Ruskin Bond

Clusia rosea, the autograph tree

Don't waste time collecting

other people's autographs;

rather devote it to making

your own autograph

worth collecting. George Bernard Shaw

A good day, a good life, comes down

to feeling good. We learn young

that eating three ice cream cones

in a row does not make us happy

in the end. Thus begins the search

for the answer to the world's

second oldest question:

What is a good life?

What is the oldest question

in the world?

What's for lunch!

Become a virtuoso of

telling people you love

how you feel about them.

Practice!

Just Keep It Simple Right Now

A L O H A From Honolulu!

So many things are unimportant.

You’re wise when you focus

on the few that truly are.

Maxime Lagacé

We all experience 

different weather

though sharing. 

the same sky.

No one can stop you

from being honest

or straightforward.

       Marcus Aurelius

Forgiveness does not

change the past, but

enlarges the future. 

When your past calls,

don't answer.

it has nothing

new to say.

You will continue to suffer

if you have an emotional

reaction to everything.

True power is sitting back

and observing things

True power is restraint.

Breathe and

allow it to pass.

her secret is patience. Ralph Waldo Emerson

but a necessity

And into the forest I go,

Look Closer Life Continues

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sometimes,

what you're looking for

is already there.

Aretha Franklin

The winding road slants

downward many a time;

Yet each descent is

higher than the last.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

There is nothing like the thrill

of walking through the jungle

looking for a tiger -

- and knowing they could be

watching you already.

Ashlan Gorse Cousteau

One hopes this lady 

is finding her fallen blossoms 

for a special lei.

A Recovery, or return home, 

come to mind. A new

grade, a new teacher.

Or maybe just because

it is Saturday and the sun 

is peaking over

the Ko`olau mountains

here on Oahu.

Life Continues...

The sky is an infinite movie to me. 

I never get tired of looking at 

what's happening up there. 

    K. D. Lang

In looking back, I see

nothing to regret and

little to correct.

    John C. Calhoun

 ԾԾԾԾԾԾԾԹ 

We're all keeping our distance,

and enjoying the broader spaces.

Sometimes, overlooking these

rewards for good spotting.

Often spotting better

vistas within.

Rain Gain

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The nicest thing 

about the rain is 

that it always stops. 

Eventually.

   Eeyore

A little rain each day

will fill the rivers

to overflowing.

Liberian Proverb

The sun after the rain 

is much beautiful than

the sun before the rain.

Mehmet Murat ildan

After the rain 

cometh the fair weather.

   Aesop

Being soaked alone is cold. 

Being soaked 

with your best friend 

is an adventure.

   Emily Wing Smith

Lighted Podium

If you eliminate my shadows,

I'll be nothing special.

    Lebo Grand

Do not be angry with the rain; 

it simply does not know how 

to fall upwards.
