If he brought you perfect people,

how would you ever learn

to spiritually evolve?

The trick is that as long as

you know who you are

and what makes you happy,

it doesn't matter how

others see you.

I may disagree with you, 

but I am not against you.

It isn't the great big pleasures

that count the most;

it's making a great deal

out of the little ones.

 A loving heart is

the truest wisdom.

Better A Thousand Than Once

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A person's greatest limitations

are not genetic, but imposed

by self-doubt, insecurities,

indecision, and timidity.

Better

a thousand times

once dead.

Good company,

that life is precious and short.

I have no time for being

impatient with anyone.

Where There Is

A L O H A From Honolulu!

There’s nothing I value

more than the closeness

of friends and family,

a smile as I pass

someone on the street.

Willie Stargell

No empty words and gestures,

but hands filled with hands,

hands pointing the way,

hands tracing new lines

as age slowly creases its

course from the corners

of my eyes. 

   Nolan Liebert

The way you go is up to you;

you can get very uptight

focusing only on getting to your goal

or you can relax and enjoy

the entire journey, appreciating every unexpected bend and turn

of the road, every new

opportunity for learning

and feeling.

Shakti Gawain

most of the world's

recognized experts on

the subject of enlightenment

are not enlightened.

Some are great mystics,

some are great scholars,

some are both,

and most are neither,

but very few are awake.

Nobody's getting there

because nobody knows

where there is,

This early piece

of the morning

is mine. Wallace Stegner

In order to empathize with someone’s experience, you must be willing to believe them as THEY SEE IT, and not how you imagine their experience to be.

Brené Brown

She opened her purse which

was like a small autumn field

and near the fallen branches

of an old apple tree,

she found her keys.

Richard Brautigan

The way we experience

the world around us is -

- a direct reflection of

the world within us. 

  Gabrielle Bernstein

Handle the most important

things in life like

people's feelings

with the lightest touch.

I've learned that I don't have to

say aloud every funny comment

that pops into my head.

But I want you to know that

I am enjoying a Non-Stop laugh

riot all to myself.

Simple Joy is Beyond Compare

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In one of his letters, Seneca

remarks that he began his journey

already shipwrecked. Meaning he

was traveling exceedingly light,

such as one might be equipped

after escaping from a

sinking ship with only

necessities quickly grabbed.

Giant Tumble

We are all traveling light now,

some near -- some far

but traveling we are

from the old times

to the new world.

    

Orchid Rumble

Simple pleasures still apply.

Ride light in the saddle.

Trust that predawn

enlightening

of the sky.

Cloud Reflection for your inspection

A little stream came tumbling

from the height, And struggling

into ocean as it might.

Its bounding crystal frolick'd

in the ray, And gush'd from

cliff to crag with saltless spray.

     Lord Byron

Gobsmacked!

Cassia Blossoms on the Rack

The golden moments in 

the stream of life rush past us,

and we see nothing but sand;

the angels come to visit us,

and we only know them

when they are gone.

   George Eliot

My Domestic Maniac

I loved you dearly, Stone Fish Lake,

With your rock-island shaped like a swimming fish!

On the fish’s back is the Wine-cup Hollow

And round the fish,—the flowing waters of the Lake.

The boys on the shore sent little wooden ships,

Each made to carry a single cup of wine.

The island-drinkers emptied the liquor-boats

And set their sails and sent them back for more.

On the shores of the Lake were jutting slabs of rock

And under the rocks there flowed an icy stream.

Heated with wine, to rinse our mouths and hands

In those cold waters was a joy beyond compare!

By Yüan Chieh [Circa a.d. 740-770;

Underappreciated contemporary of Li Po]

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!
