Must Free

A L O H A From Honolulu!


We must free ourselves of
the hope that the sea
will ever rest.
We must learn to
sail in high winds.
    Aristotle Onassis



The Passionate Lovers *

When we are together,
I can see Heaven
from here!






When I forget how
talented God is,
I look to the sea.
 Whoopi Goldberg






On this path let the
heart be your guide.
Rumi



Me and my shadow

A silly goose is just
a swan in disguise. 






Being kind to yourself isn't
about ignoring your weaknesses.
It's about giving yourself
permission to learn
from your mistakes.
We grow by embracing
shortcomings, not
punishing them.
      Adam Grant

Observing Together

A L O H A From Honolulu!


The right time is any time that one is still so
lucky as to have. Henry James

Nurture your mind
with Great Thoughts.
  Disraeli



You don't drown by
falling in the water;
you drown by
staying there. Edwin Louis Cole




Life Grants Us The Power To Be Anything We Want To Be. Why do so many of us want to be angry know-it-alls?

Only You

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The moon does not fight.
It attacks no one.
It does not worry. It
does not try to crush others.

It keeps to its course, but by its
very nature, it gently influences.
What other body could pull an
entire ocean from shore to shore?

The moon is faithful to its
nature and its power is
never diminished.
  Deng Ming-Dao





As for me I will follow
the path of the pink bunnies. Magenta Periwinkle




How often, I wonder,
do things and people we see every day carry wonders that we never notice?



Nothing can bring you
peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dare To

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Dare to Believe in
Your Happiness. 



Hope is a helium balloon.
It is a wish lantern set out
into the dark sky of night. Sharon Weil




The great poets have 
sympathized with the people. 
They have uttered in all ages 
the human cry. Unbought 
by gold, unawed by power, 
they have lifted high the 
torch that illuminates
 the world.
       Robert Green Ingersoll



Humor is in fact an essential element in the mirth of creation. God wants to prod us into taking things a bit more lightly. Pope Benedict XVI

The infinitely little have
a pride infinitely great.

Honolulu Pride Parade 15 OCT

A L O H A From Honolulu!

"Everyone loves a parade."
That's what "They" say,
and they just may be right.
First Time In Two Years!
From babes in arms,
to those in their second childhood,
something draws us in
to this ancient procession
with it's roots
in community,
And ritual.




Dogs do speak, but
only to those who
know how to listen.
    Orhan Pamuk



We are rarely proud
when we are alone.
Voltaire







One must either
 take an interest in 
the human situation 
or else parade
 before the void. 
    Jean Rostand 





Pride is a personal commitment.
It is an attitude which
separates excellence
from mediocrity.
William Blake





 I'm still passionately interested in what my fellow humans are up to. For me, a day spent monitoring the passing parade is a day well-spent. Garry Trudeau



Dogs are SO
uninhibited!
Carl Chopin



Those aren't real dogs
and I Don't Like It!

Love You!

When the tide gets high,
Sail on. You'll make it
safe to the shore... And all the hidden treasures
will be Yours! Chinonye J. Chidolue

Instead Of A Gem

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Smiling makes you beautiful
if you are beautiful,
it, makes you brilliant.
Ehsan Sehgal





When an elevator brings u upstairs,
you better send it back down
in order to bring others up!
Dikembe Mutombo



Moon! Moon! I am prone before you. Pity me, and
drench me in loneliness. Amy Lowell



Red Crested Cardinal

If, instead of a gem,
or even a flower, we should cast the gift
of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving
as the angels give George MacDonald




I think it’s in my basement…
let me go upstairs
and check.
M. C. Escher

October Visitors

A L O H A From Honolulu!


 We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own. Ben Sweetland
 



In his face there came to be a
brooding peace that is seen
most often in the faces of the
very sorrowful or the very wise.
But still he wandered through
the streets of the town,
always silent and alone. Carson McCullers 









Having a parent that listens
creates a child who believes
their voice matters in this world. Rachel Macy Stafford



Aging is an extraordinary
process where you become
the person you always
should have been.
David Bowie
