Greatest Power

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You fade away so soon

reminding us to

cherish

this moment.

Honolulu Sings to me.

Most of my memories

are here.

All day long

Oahu skies are eloquent.

Opera and Symphonies

improvised by light,

water & wind.

Cordia subcordata 

The Kou tree was introduced

by the first native Hawaiians,

Polynesian Canoe Voyagers.

It isn't what you have

or who you are, or

where you are or

what you are doing

that makes you

happy or unhappy.

It is what you

think about.

Hale is Hawaiian for "House.

Wishing you the

greatest power of all,

which is to see love,

or a call for love,

in everything.

Things Mind Doesn't Understand

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Morning Moon

The moon is a loyal companion.

It never leaves.

It’s always there,

watching, steadfast, knowing us

in our light and dark moments,

changing forever just as we do.

Every day it’s a different

version of itself. Sometimes

weak and wan, sometimes

strong and full of light.

The moon understands

what it means to be human.

Uncertain. Alone.

Cratered by imperfections.

   Tahereh Mafi

#1 Capitol District Honolulu March 16 1928

While they were both in the cabinet, under King Kamehameha V, American politicians John Mott-Smith and Charles Coffin Harris convinced the legislature to fund a hotel. It first opened in 1872.[1]: 173–174  The hotel was converted to a YMCA in 1917 and used by the military in World War I. In 1926 the termite-infested building was finally torn down, and a new one designed in Spanish mission style by Lincoln Rogers of the firm Emory & Webb.[2][3] The new building was dedicated on March 16, 1928. The two-story U-shaped building includes a swimming pool in its courtyard. Across Richards Street is the Hawaii State Capitol building. The area was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Oahu as the

Hawaii Capital Historic District on December 1, 1978.[4]

The strewn and tangled wreckage

that litters our lives is the

precious raw material

from which great beginnings

are forged.

You can dream, create,

design, and build the

most wonderful place

in the world. But

it requires people

to make the dream

a reality.

What Are YOU Marinating In?

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Awake,arise,

and assert yourself, you dreamers of the world. Your star is now

in ascendancy. Napoleon Hill   

Pendulums do swing. People do awaken. Wrong acts and lying words sooner or later bring failure. The bigger they act

the harder they fall.

Forbearing people

will inherit the world.

There is enough

cruelty in the world

without adding to it. Daniel Thorman

Monkey Pod Tree Link

What will matter tomorrow, for society, for me, for you, for your health, is the feelings we marinate in and how we behave.

What if we were

strong enough

-loving enough-

to forgive and

make allowances

for others as we

do without pause

for ourselves?

This is the better way.

For yourself,

for all of us.

All Unicorns

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The secret of Buddhism is

to remove all ideas,

all concepts, in order for

the truth to have a

chance to penetrate,

to reveal itself.

The greatest challenge

of the day is: how to

bring about a revolution

which has to start with

Tuning Our motivations

A L O H A From Honolulu!

It was the Magic Hour,

the moment in time when

every leaf and blade of grass

seemed to separate,

when sunlight, burnished

by the rain and softened

by the coming night,

gave the world an

impossibly beautiful

glow.

  Kristin Hannah

You have been

criticizing yourself for years

and it hasn’t worked.

Try approving of yourself

and see what happens.

    Louise Hay   

Crows tumble

like socks in a drier.

David Mitchell

I love bright red drinks,

don’t you?

They taste twice as good

as any other color.

 Lucy Maud Montgomery

Then I get lost

in the beauty of the

morning sun and all of

the magnificence

that surrounds me.

 Debasish Mridha

They say you can't control

what happens, only your response to it. But the longer I live,

the more clearly I see how

each of us makes the version of reality

that we believe in.

We reinforce our view

of ourselves, others, and

of the larger world, by the things we say, do, and notice. Mostly we build our reality by

finding just what we expect.

Very few of us are willing to discover

where we are wrong, even though it is a liberation and birth of new possibilities.

Our choices,

our character,

and our actions

make us who we are,

and all results

flow from

that.
