Fine But

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Being positive doesn't mean
you ignore reality.
It means you maintain
hope, optimism and
faith in order to create
a better reality. Jon Gordon 



If you're lonely
when you're alone,
you're in bad company.
           Sartre















It was only a sunny smile,
and little it cost in the giving,
but like morning light
it scattered the night
and made the day worth living.
      F. Scott Fitzgerald





Pandemic Paradise
After an awful September,
Hawaii infections are low again.
Masks remain, but we are all feeling relief.
Parents watched their kids play
High School sports
in person this weekend. And
University of Hawaii football hosted
fans at the stadium for the
first time this season - or last.
Tourists will return as the Governor
welcomes them back. And winter.
As elsewhere, employers are having trouble
with staffing. How nice that workers
have a bit of power now!

Solitude is fine but
you need someone to tell
that solitude is fine.

being in the light
with you.

the differences between us.
I know there is comfort

If I could be the sunshine
and all the days were mine
I would find a special place
to shine!

Roots and Direction

A L O H A From Honolulu!

True power means listening
to and from the heart
and having the
commitment and humility
to clear all that stands
in the way of that
heart connection. 
                 Susan Steinbrecher





Don't let the noise
of others' opinions
drown out your
own inner voice.
And most important,
have the courage to
follow your
heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs






Calotropis gigantea, the crown flower, is a species of Calotropis native to Cambodia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines,[citation needed] Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, China, Pakistan, Nepal, and tropical Africa. WIKIPEDIA


Wear a crown of
flowers on your head,
let its roots
reach your heart.

When pure sincerity 
forms within, it is
outwardly realized in
other people's hearts.

It was possible, I knew,
to live on two planes at once—
to have one’s feet planted in
reality but pointed in
the direction of progress.
Michelle Obama







It's so simple to be wise.
Just think of something
stupid to say and
then don't say it.
Sam Levenson

Seen From the Valley

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Dreams are illustrations...
from the book your soul
is writing about you.

which when pursued is
just beyond your grasp,
but which, if you sit
down quietly, it may
alight upon you.

Thou canst not stir a flower
Without troubling of a star...

    "The Mistress of Vision," c.1897










Trust yourself. Create the kind 
of self that you will be 
happy to live with all your life.   
Golda Meir






Over every mountain
there is a path, 
although it may not be
seen from the valley.
