Not A Problem

A L O H A From Honolulu!


If it’s not a health problem,
it’s not a problem.
Don Rutberg




 


If a lot of small people,
in a lot of small places,
do a lot of small things,
they can change the
face of the world.
African saying
found on the Berlin Wall



Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. Thich Nhat Hanh


What wisdom can you find
that is greater than kindness?
Rousseau



Smiles are the soul's party dresses.

In It As The Butterfly

A L O H A From Honolulu!

It is eternity now.
I am in the midst of it.
It is about me in the sunshine;
I am in it as the butterfly
in the light-laden air.
Nothing has to come;
it is now. Now
is eternity; now is
the immortal life. Richard Jefferies



The art of art,
the glory of expression
 and the sunshine of the
light of letters
is simplicity.     
 Walt Whitman






Collaboration is the
opposite
of capitulation





The soul must uphold itself
like the sun. Let us
labour to make the heart
grow larger as we become older,
as the spreading oak
gives more shelter. Richard Jefferies

Moment Lasts Surprising

A L O H A From Honolulu!


We are each gifted in a
unique and important way.
It is our privilege and our adventure
to discover our own special light.
Mary Dunbar

A moment lasts
all of a second,
but the memory
lives on forever.

It's surprising how
much of memory
is built around things
unnoticed at the time

A common person marvels
at uncommon things.
A wise person marvels
at the commonplace.

Never Lose

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Never lose an opportunity
of seeing anything beautiful, 
for beauty is God's handwriting.
   Ralph Waldo Emerson




Me and my excavator

I have never been 
especially impressed
 by the heroics of people
 who are convinced they are 
about to change the world. 
I am more awed by those 
who struggle to make
 one small difference 
after another.

  Ellen Goodman



Moon Rise Off North Shore Oahu by Mike Price

As far back as the 19th century,
Jewish storekeepers were virtually
the only Southern merchants who
addressed black customers as
'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' and permitted
them to try on clothing.
    Howard Sachar, 
        Author and professor of Modern History
     at George Washington University.




When we begin to think
about our angels,
they begin to
manifest themselves.
    Paulo Coelho

Transform the Destination

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Nothing is stronger than
a small hope that
doesn't give up
Matt Haig



 



The moment one gives 
close attention to 
any thing, even a blade of grass 
it becomes a mysterious, 
awesome, indescribably 
magnificent world 
in itself.
           Henry Miller





 You don't take
a photograph, 
you make it.
         Ansel Adams




The journey transforms
the destination.
Peter Morville




With years and experience comes
a certain understanding of human
frailty as we see our own.
Our last best chance to
wise up, love our neighbor,
and become a human being
before our opportunity is passed.

Honored Guest

A L O H A From Honolulu!


We need to give each other
the space to grow, to be
ourselves, to exercise our diversity.
We need to give each other space so
that we may both give and receive
such beautiful things as ideas,
openness, dignity, joy,
healing, and inclusion. Max De Pree


The sharp thorn often
produces delicate roses.
Ovid



Texture, not volume,
is the key to the wondrous. Anthony Lane


Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes
our abundance. Epicurus

You are not a beggar
at the table of life.
You are the honored guest.
   Emmanuel
