Stop the flow

Open the window

BeJeweled

Even a plain woman

will attract the eye if

she is happy, while

the most elaborately

coiffed and bejeweled

woman in a room, if

she cannot summon

contentment,

will seem to be

merely decorative. 

  Anita Shreve

Take time to enjoy

and appreciate

simple things.

Yes even now.

All Hail Aloe

Take time to be kind.

Especially now!

Think long thoughts

in short sentences.

Actualize It

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Friendships offer

good practice in

accepting the transience

of experience. . .

. . . and the

persistence of feeling.

Drab but Lovely!

To have reverence

for love and

reverence for compassion

is to actualize it,

to practice it.

The longest way

must have its close-

the gloomiest night

will wear on to

a morning.

All the windows

of my heart -

I open to the day.     

   John Greenleaf Whittier

Embarrassment lasts 

a moment, regrets 

last a lifetime.

Life's like a movie, 

write your own ending. 

Keep believing, 

keep pretending.

                             Jim Henson

There's calm in each

and every day,

we just need to

practice reaching

out for it. Ron Baratono

Nothing exists except atoms

and empty space;

everything else is opinion.

  Democritus

You have no need 

to go anywhere. 

Journey into yourself. 

Enter a mine of rubies 

and bathe 

in the splendor 

of your own light. 

    Rumi 

The best way to persuade

people is with your ears-

-by listening to them.

Forever is composed
of nows.
    Emily Dickinson

When life is sweet,

say thank you

and celebrate.

When life is bitter,

say thank you and grow.

Eating the Flowers

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We are here in a wood of

little beeches:

And the leaves are like

black lace

Against a sky of nacre.

One bough of clear promise

Across the moon.

It is in this wise that

God speaketh unto me.

         Frederic Manning *

For youth, the moon is

a promise of all

those tremendous things

which await it-

  Hjalmar Soderberg

Isn't an awareness of

their transience what

gives these moments

their exquisite edge?

Robert Harris

"In literature, flower-eating

is used to tip the reader off

to characters' faults

their excessive sexuality,

their hedonistic

pursuit of happiness,

or their superficiality."

to Eat a Flower?

A lie doesn't become truth,

wrong doesn't become right,

and evil doesn't become good,

just because it's

accepted by a majority.

* Here is the rest of that poem:

We are here in a wood of little beeches: And the leaves are like black lace Against a sky of nacre. One bough of clear promise Across the moon. It is in this wise that God speaketh unto me. He layeth hands of healing upon my flesh, Stilling it in an eternal peace, Until my soul reaches out myriad and infinite hands Toward him, And is eased of its hunger. And I know that this passes: This implacable fury and torment of men, As a thing insensate and vain: And the stillness hath said unto me, Over the tumult of sounds and shaken flame, Out of the terrible beauty of wrath, I alone am eternal. One bough of clear promise Across the moon — Frederic Manning"

Windows

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The windows of the houses

– even if the house is ramshackle –

are always beautiful because

windows represent light!

   Mehmet Murat ildan

To a clear eye

the smallest fact is

a window through which

the infinite may be seen. Thomas Huxley

Throw open the windows

of your soul to the sun.

If you do not, the sun

will soon set, and

you with it.

    Marcus Aurelius

It's like a kid standing

at the window

watching the rain.

  Haruki Murakami

Stop the flow

of your words.

Open the window

of your heart and

let the spirit speak.

Bear In Mind *

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Dare to love yourself

as if you were a

rainbow with gold

at both ends.

  Aberjhani

"Wind Blown" 
That's my umbrella for scale

- just remember, the storm doesn't last forever. It can scare you; it can shake you to your core. But it never lasts. The rain subsides, the thunder dies, and the winds calm to a soft whisper. And that moment after the storm clouds pass, when all is

silent and still, you find peace.

Quiet, gentle peace.

      S.L. Jennings

Love comforteth like

sunshine after rain.

Hey!

It IS a mural!

You don’t need to be the tide to rise and fall, you don’t have to be a wave to touch the shore; just be a little sand-grain and feel them all. Munia Khan
