The Earth the Air and You

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Our emotional weather
may be changeable, but
never forget that
you are the sky.

Bougainvillea glabra  "paper flower"
If we look at the world
with a love of life,
the world will reveal
its beauty to us.
Daisaku Ikeda



 
If you are out there shooting,
things will happen for you.
If you’re not out there,
you’ll only hear about it.
 Jay Maisel





Life itself is the most
wonderful fairy tale. Hans Christian Andersen



Remember to go outside everyday 
and walk on the Earth and 
look around at the beauty– 
the birds, the trees, 
the flowers blooming.
We are part of that Nature– 
and are also renewing.  
        Mitakuye Oyasin


 Like a welcome summer rain,
humor may suddenly cleanse
and cool the earth,
the air and you

Letting the Particles Run

Come out of the
circle of time.
And into the circle of love. Rumi

on a walk around the lake.

your mind upside down
now and then, like
an hour-glass, to let the
particles run the other way. Christopher Morley

Golden Fate Silver Lining

A L O H A From Honolulu!
 By walking on the right path, you create a golden fate for yourself and you also become a silver lining for the others! Mehmet Murat ildan 


Every time you invest
in your character,
invest in your humanity,
it's the best stock market.
It pays dividends. And it
creates magic in ways that
you can't anticipate.
   Jewel




A single prop that
does not look real
to an audience can
louse you up. The same is
true of the smallest flaw...
in a story line.

Just A Bit

Works Wonders

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When the Sun
of compassion arises darkness evaporates and the singing birds come from nowhere. Amit Ray 




The most precious light
is the one that visits you
in your darkest hour!

Darkness is your candle.
Your boundaries are your quest. You must have shadow

to chase away
the darkness.

Before the Dawning Day

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Be reverent before
the dawning day. 

Do not think of what 
will be in a year, 
or in ten years. 
Think of to-day.
      Romain Rolland




 Don't be afraid of the sharps, flats, or minor keys in the melody of your life. They give your song it's soul and great value.



Celebrate the small things 
and our lives become 
bigger than ever.
           Tim Fargo 




There is always Music 
amongst the trees 
in the Garden, but 
our hearts must be 
very quiet to hear it.
        Minnie Aumonier



When you are kind to others, 
it not only changes you, 
it changes the world.
            Lolly Daskal

Independent of Circumstances

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If you tend to a flower,
it will bloom,
no matter how many
weeds surround it. Matshona Dhliwayo



Even the palm trees are blooming
it fills me with so much hope.
The birds, the dogs, and people
all ride the rising slope.


Spider:
Critics do not determine
how beautifully
a flower blooms.
  Matshona Dhliwayo



Spring is here and
my old joy blooms
in the world. Steve Scafidi



Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities
have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely
and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with
your old nonsense. Emerson
