Tree and Shadow

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Love has its own instinct,
finding the way to the heart,
as the feeblest insect finds the
way to its flower...
Honore de Balzac

Red was ruby,

green was fluorescent,

yellow was simply incandescent.

Color was life. Color was

everything. Color, you see,

was the universal sign of magic.
Tahereh Mafi

Character is like a tree and

reputation like a shadow...

the tree is the real thing.

Heal in the Shadows Celebrate in the Sun

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We are what our thoughts

have made us;

so take care about

what you think. Words are secondary.

Thoughts live;

they travel far. Swami Vivekananda

Heal in the shadows.
Celebrate in the sun.

Rest is not idleness, and

to lie sometimes on the grass

under trees on a summer’s day,

listening to the murmur

of the water, or watching

the clouds float across the sky,

is by no means a waste of time.

     J. Lubbock

The true poem rests

between the words.

  Vanna Bonta

Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up

every preconceived notion... or you shall learn nothing. Thomas H. Huxley

As long as the sun

does not set in your mind,

darkness will be nothing

but a weak shadow

in your life! Mehmet Murat ildan

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.

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.

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.

The most precious light

Darkness is your candle.

Your boundaries are your quest. You must have shadow

and light source both. Listen, and lay your head

under the tree of awe. Rumi

Create a little light

to chase away

the darkness.
