Dare to indulge Your Delight

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The red-crested cardinal is a songbird,

the species belonging to the family of tanagers. Notwithstanding its similar name, this bird is not closely related to the true cardinal family. It is sometimes known as the Argentine cardinal. Wikipedia

If we look at the world

with a love of life,

the world will reveal

its beauty to us.

    Daisaku Ikeda 

Grace is the face

that love wears

when it meets

imperfection. 

             Joseph R. Cooke 

Compassion will cure

more sins than

condemnation.

 Henry Ward Beecher

Shadows of fear intrude

when we step out of the light.

Light feels so good,

feels so right.

It's not a struggle;

Just a snuggle.

Dare to indulge

Your Delight! 

Love You,

 Pixie & Cloudia

Today I Will Find

Morning Moon

Today I will find

something beautiful.

Delicate pink blossoms

on a cherry tree.

The dove resting

near the lemon buds.

Sunbeams smiling

from sky to earth.

Smiling on me.

The eye and soul are caressed in the contemplation of form and colour. The subtle changes–transitions that are like music – There is an immediate

sensuous appeal!

Places To Be

I visited many places,

Some of them quite

Exotic and far away,

But I always

returned to myself.

    Dejan Stojanovic

Life…we understand it

differently at different stages.

It’s what is interesting

about getting older, you realize your relationship with the past is always negotiable....

...you can visit those places again,

and understand it differently.

That makes a huge difference.

Kindness & Happiness

travel together. Love it - not above it.

Since we cannot

change reality,

let us change the eyes

which see reality. Nikos Kazantzakis

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery. Francis Bacon

Aerial Roots of the Banyan

"-Roots grow from

outward-extending branches

and reach the ground,

becoming trunk-like and

expanding the footprint of

the tree, sometimes gaining it

the colloquial name

of a 'walking tree.'"

        Alvarez & Schutzman

Creator, bless my eyes

that I may see with love.

Bless my mouth that

I may speak with love.

Bless my heart that

I may give and

receive love.

Bless my hands that

all I touch feels loved. Native American 

We are called to

be bridge builders;

but too many of us

are merely toll takers.

Give advice;

if people don't listen,

let adversity teach them. Ethiopian Proverb

Forget, Love, Focus

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Perfect love is the most

beautiful of all frustrations

because it is more than

one can express.

    Charlie Chaplin

Care about the person

in front of you.

Not labels or sides.

Life responds to

the generous.

I've often noticed that

we are not able to look at

what we have in front of us,

unless it's inside a frame.

Abbas Kiarostami

Luxury is anything

that feels special.

I mean, it can be a moment,

it can be a walk on the beach,

it could be a kiss from your child...

 luxury doesn't necessarily

have to mean expensive.

     Aerin Lauder

Faith is the very opposite

of clinging to belief,

of holding on. Alan Watts

There comes a time in your life,

when you walk away from

all the drama and people

who create it. You

surround yourself with

people who make you laugh.

Forget the bad and

focus on the good.

Love the people who

treat you right, pray

for the ones who do not.

Life is too short to be

anything but happy.

Falling down is a part of life,

getting back up is living.

    José N. Harris
