Beautiful Ordinary

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Some changes look negative

on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge. Eckhart Tolle

You cannot live a positive life with a negative attitude." Lolly Daskal

O most honored

Greening Force, You who roots in the Sun; You who lights up, in shining serenity...

Hildegard von Bingen

(1098-1179)

Anyone can love a rose,

but it takes a lot

to love a leaf.

It’s ordinary to

love the beautiful, but it’s

beautiful to love the ordinary.

M. J. Korvan

Strong Conjuration

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A Home in My Neighborhood: Waikiki

Home is a name, a word,

it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration. Charles Dickens

No road is long with good company. Turkish Proverb

Sure we're paying $5.39 for gas, but the coconuts are free!!

Everything that I understand, 

I understand only

because I love.

                     Leo Tolstoy

If on the way,

you meet someone who knows, don't speak a word, and don't keep silent. Zen Proverb

Spotlight

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Purify your eyes, and see 
the pure world. 
Your life will fill 
with radiant forms. 
Rumi

Shine your light.
Be a warm sun
not a spotlight.

Living is like tearing

through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, and remembering because you can't take it in all at once. Audrey Hepburn

A lighthouse turns

and gives light.

That's all that it does,

it makes no judgments.

 Black-crowned night heron, or black-capped night heron, night heron

Until you're ready 

to look foolish, you'll 

never have the 

possibility of 

being great.

       Cher

If you can be

Honest with Yourself

you've got it made! 

  Sid Caesar

Many Faces of Oahu Morning

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Kailua Bay by Kathy Edwards Link

Each morning

we are born again. 

What we do today is

what matters most.

              Buddha

I get up every morning and
it's going to be a great day.
You never know when
it's going to be over so
I refuse to have a bad day.
Paul Henderson

Breadfruit

In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path are alike. Paulo Coelho

When I woke up this morning

my girlfriend asked me,

'Did you sleep good?'

I said "No, I made

a few mistakes."

Flow with whatever is happening

and let your mind be free.

Stay centered by accepting

whatever you are doing.

This is the ultimate.

  Chuang Tzu 

A healer is someone

whose hand the

patient wants to hold.

Aude Mermilliod

Nothing in this world compares

to the comfort and security of

having someone just hold your hand.

It is sweet to let the mind

unbend on occasion.

Mystery Refresh

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Look and think before

opening the shutter.

The heart and mind are

the true lens of the camera.

Yousuf Karsh

A smile will gain you
ten more years of life.
Chinese Proverb

There's something magical

that happens when people

eat from the same pot.

The family meal is really

the nursery of democracy.

It's where we learn to share;

it's where we learn to

argue without offending.

Michael Pollan

The passage into mystery

always refreshes.

We are lightened when our

gifts rise from pools

we cannot fathom.

Then we know

they are inexhaustible. Lewis Hyde

No Time To Rush

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I am still on my zigzag way,

pursuing the diagonal

between reason and heart.

Ruskin Bond

True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by. E.S. Boutons

I thank you God for this

most amazing day, for the

leaping greenly spirits of trees,

and for the blue dream of sky

and for everything which is

natural, which is infinite,

which is yes. e. e. cummings

Very often a change of self

is needed more than

a change of scene.

A. C. Benson

"Faces Off"

That brick that you're standing on,

that foundation that

you're standing on,

there's a brick in there

that was placed

by someone you never knew,

sort of a

faceless possibility, but

you're there now.

You have an opportunity to

put your own brick in there. 

    Christopher Jackson

Hurry!

I never hurry.

I have no time to hurry. Igor Stravinsky
