Philosophers & Cats

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The greatness of a person

is a sign of greatness.

is their ability to control
their emotions by the

is the sign of a
vulgar mind.

I have studied many philosophers
and many cats. The
wisdom of cats is
infinitely superior.

and the rain falling on the sunshine.

Room For Everything

A L O H A From Honolulu!


There is no pessimism in the wild.

Lotus Queen Lily

 If you don't believe
 that the world has a
 heart,
 then you won't hear it 
beating,
    Charles de Lint

 Nature was here
 a series of wonders, and
a fund of delight.

then looked again:
a tiny face
was looking back.
The world is full
of friends
if we only
notice them.






In a full heart there is room
for everything.

Our Passions Ourselves

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Look at life through
the windshield, not
the rear-view mirror.
Byrd Baggett



On the mountains of truth
you can never climb in vain:
either you will reach a point
higher up today, or you will
be training your powers so that
you will be able to
climb higher tomorrow.
  Friedrich Nietzsche



Through intentionally slowing down
our pace; simplifying calendars,
closets, and commitments;
letting go in order to have
fulfilling, connective enough-ness,
we open more space.
Dr. Erlene Grise-Owens




How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven.
Robert A. Heinlein
