Look A Bit Harder

Through Love

all that is copper

Rumi

 

A Cactus exhorts aloes to dance!

To an optimist

every weed is a flower;

to a pessimist

every flower is a weed.

If you think

something is ugly,

look harder.

Ugliness is just a

failure of seeing. Matt Haig

not gulps.

True Joy Dare Live

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A sharp spear needs no polish
H. Rider Haggard

Joyful, joyful, joyful,

as only dogs know

how to be happy

with only the autonomy

of their shameless spirit.

    Pablo Neruda

A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. Bertrand Russell

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. Gerard Way

Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. Tecumseh,

Native American Leader

Matters

A L O H A From Waikiki

What we know matters but

who we are matters more.
Brene Brown

 The moment one gives close attention to anything,

even to a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. Henry Miller

Don't become upset.
Don't argue. Don't get angry.
Just fill your heart
with peace. And witness.*

Some people were not

put here to evolve.

They are here to remind you

what it looks like if you don't.

Which Contains More?

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We live our dreams,
we do not live our lives
Hisham Fawzi

It’s not about being happy

all the time, or being sure

of all your choices. It’s

about knowing that life is

precious, even when it’s tough.

Topher Kearby  

Rowing Contest in the Harbor

People are lonely 

because they build walls

instead of bridges.

         Joseph Fort Newton

Remember to enjoy being in this world, being able to do what you are doing. Stephen Schwartz

Calm Mind Strong

A little elation now and

then can help you

feel alive again.

Let the smile do the work.

The nearer we come

to a calm mind, the

closer we are to strength.

Yourself With Wonder

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 If you have a strong
purpose in life, you
don't have to be pushed.
Your passion will
drive you there.
Roy T. Bennett

People will change

what they do when

they feel accepted

for who they are.

Adam Grant

A photograph has picked up a

fact of life, and that fact

will live forever.

Raghu Rai 

Ultimately photography is

about who you are.

It’s the truth in

relation to yourself.

And seeking truth

becomes a habit.

   Leonard Freed

People travel to wonder at

the heights of mountains,

at the huge waves of the sea,

at the long courses

of the rivers, at the vast

compass of the ocean,

and yet they pass by

themselves without wondering. Saint Augustine

Don't Be Afraid Of Its Plenty

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Any fool can know.

The point is to understand.

Albert Einstein

I wonder how many people

I've looked at all my life

and never seen.

  John Steinbeck

A lone star shines in

its own corner of the sky.

   Japanese saying

It takes half your life

before you discover that

life is a do-it-yourself project.

 Napoleon Hill

If you suddenly

and unexpectedly feel joy,

don't hesitate. Give in to it...

don't be afraid of its plenty.

Joy is not made to be a crumb.

  Mary Oliver
