And Now Here Is My Secret

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When you notice yourself

getting exasperated,

let that be a cue to pause,

to breathe, and to say or do

something kind instead

Plumeria Pudica

 Happiness held is the seed;

Happiness shared

is the flower.

John Harrigan

The enemies of freedom

do not argue; they shout

and they shoot.
   William Inge

Life isn't about waiting

for the storm to pass...

It's about learning to

dance in the rain.
Vivian Greene

And now here is my secret,

a very simple secret:

It is only with the heart

that one can see rightly;

what is essential is

invisible to the eye.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Once Expressed It Changes

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Gratitude is one of the most

powerful human emotions.

Once expressed, it changes

attitude, brightens outlook,

and broadens our perspective.

Germany Kent

At The Bus Stop

Sharing your troubles

with the wrong people

doesn't help. 

I don't think of all the misery,

 but of the beauty

that still remains.

      Anne Frank

When I use the camera,

I often feel like I know

part of the people or places

I come in contact with.

Christophe Agou

Negative people need drama like oxygen. Stay positive, it'll take their breath away. Tony Gaskins

Green was the silence,

wet was the light, the

month of June trembled

like a butterfly.

The sunshine was like

powdered gold over

the grassy hillside.

of reflection, release,

restoration, and renewal. Sarah Ban Breathnach

warmth of summer,

without the cold of winter

to give it sweetness.

was inside of us. Leah Raeder

I've got 99 problems,
but age ain't one!

You cannot keep birds from

flying over your head but

you can keep them from

building a nest in your hair.

to do a hard job.
Because a lazy person
will find an easy
way to do it.

people to be lazy-
either they have it,
or they don't.

Dance Of The Palm Trees

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Your character is

your guardian divinity. Heraclitus

Nu'uanu Stream *

What a joy it is to feel the soft,

springy earth under my feet

once more, to follow grassy roads

that lead to ferny brooks where I

can bathe my fingers in a cataract

of rippling notes, or to clamber

over a stone wall into green

fields that tumble and roll

and climb in riotous gladness!

Helen Keller

Royal Poinciana

There's nothing so kingly

as kindness, and

nothing so royal

as truth

Alice Cary,

'Nobility'

The dance of the palm trees,
the oceans calling,
the first rays of sun,
and heaven is here.
Michael Dolan

The coconut trees,

lithe and graceful,

crowd the beach like a minuet

of slender elderly virgins

adopting flippant poses. William Manchester

We may not be their favorite,
but we are their blessing.

I have a thing about angels.

I believe in them.

I feel like I have

a guardian angel.

I think everybody has one.

  Sheryl Lee

* Nuʻuanu Stream is a river in Honolulu, Hawaii running through  Chinatown and the Arts District. The stream is an important part of the island's ecosystem, providing habitat for fish and wildlife, and supporting recreational activities like swimming and fishing. It flows out of Nuʻuanu Valley, one of the most historically significant neighborhoods in Hawaii, going back to ancient, pre-contact times, home to many legends, stories and historical events.
