Unrestrained And Often Silly

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Nothing ever seems too bad,

too hard, or too sad when

you've got a Christmas tree

in the living room.

Nora Roberts

Clearing away clutter is

good for the soul, because

it allows your surroundings to be a

reflection of the person you are today,

not the person you were yesterday.

       Eleanor Brownn

 Clutter is anything that

does not support

your better self. Eleanor Brownn

Probably the reason we all

go so haywire at Christmas time

with the endless unrestrained and

often silly buying of gifts is that

we don’t quite know how

to put our love into words.

Harlan Miller

If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree, I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me! J.M. Barrie

Cordyline fruticosa is an evergreen flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. The plant is of great cultural importance to the traditional animistic religions of Austronesian and Papuan peoples of the Pacific Islands, New Zealand, Island Southeast Asia, and Papua New Guinea. It is also cultivated for food, traditional medicine, and as an ornamental for its variously colored leaves. It is identified by a wide variety of common names, including ti plant, palm lily, cabbage palm.

Pillow Symbol

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every year of my life

I grow more convinced that it

is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and good and dwell as little as possible on the dark and the base. Richard Cecil

Who is the person walking

in front of you on the rain-drenched sidewalk? He is covered with an umbrella, and all you can see is a dark coat and the shoes striking the puddles. And yet this person is the hero of his own life story. He is the love of someone’s life... And then continue on your own way. Vera Nazarian

The way we choose

to see the world creates the

world we see. Barry Neil Kaufman

Oh cat, I'd say, or pray: be-ootiful cat!

Delicious cat! Exquisite cat!

Satiny cat! Cat like a soft owl,

cat with paws like moths, jewelled

cat, miraculous cat!

Cat, cat, cat, cat.

Doris Lessing

How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers... and it doesn't have that dangerous beak. Jack Handy

Unlikely Corners

Follow the grain in your own wood. Howard Thurman

The good life is a process, 

not a state of being. 

It is a direction 

not a destination.

           Carl Rogers

Losers always find

reasons to be angry.

Winners look for

reasons to understand.

Lunar New Year Ahead!!

Abundance is not 

something we acquire. 

It is something 

we tune into.

             Wayne Dyer

Heaven can be found in

the most unlikely corners.

Silence To Think

A L O H A From Honolulu!

May you delight in today.

May the child in you stir awake for a season

of Wonder and Hope.

You needn't own something to derive pleasure from it. Do you own a sunset, a moment, or a song?

Better than a thousand hollow words,

 is one word that brings peace.

Buddha 

Every piece of the universe,

even the tiniest little snow crystal,

matters somehow.

I have a place in the pattern,

and so do you…

T.A. Barron

Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii Island

So much space, such silence,

so much time. To drift.

To think. To let your mind

roam anywhere it pleases.

To dream. Perhaps the

true luxury of our age is not

the piles of goods we endlessly

accumulate, but Time.

Aspects

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Saturday 3 Dec. 2022

Repetition doesn’t really exist. As far as your mind is concerned, nothing happens the same twice, even if in every technical sense, the thing is identical. Your perception is constantly shifting. It doesn’t stay in one place. Brian Eno

The light of eternity gilds everything like morning.

I went to a restaurant that

serves 'breakfast at any time'.

So I ordered French Toast

during the Renaissance.

Steven Wright

You can't get mad at weather because weather's not about you. Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life. Douglas Coupland

communication tool of all.

Our first Hawaii home was an actual

coffee shack in Captain Cook, Link

above Kealakekua Bay on the west side of

Hawaii Island [the Big Island]. 

We would turn off

the belt highway, and climb

Rabbit Hill through the coffee trees

with four wheel drive.

Above the coffee farm, our

shack was built into the hillside on

poles. We hiked it's jungle path ever day.

We visited erupting Mauna Kea

[Neighbor Maunaloa is erupting

in the news today!]

I describe all this in my Hawaii Novella:

"Aloha Where You Like Go?"
