Two Reasons To Relax

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Young man looks ahead

Old man looks back The moment, a shiny penny, Rolls unnoticed down the crack.

Lend yourself to others,

but give yourself to yourself.

Michel de Montaigne

If the only prayer you

ever say in your entire

life is thank you,

it will be enough.

Meister Eckhart

Welcome the uninvited to receive it's gift.

Indian Head ginger flower

Once in his life,

every man is entitled

to fall in love with

a gorgeous redhead!

Lucille Ball.

Relax.

Nothing’s missing.

Maxime Lagacé

Relax.

Nothing is

under control.

Their tails intertwined. So happy together.

The world around them

faded away,

Just the two of them. lost in the moment

Sky Sea Memories

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sky and the sea

reflect each other.

Sky so vast

and ever-changing,

Sea mysterious and deep.

Together they embody

Nuanced human emotion.

If every tiny flower

wanted to be a rose,

Spring would lose its loveliness.

    Therese of Lisieux

Memories do not

live in our past,

but direct us to our future.

We are what we remember.

So we can imagine and build.

In this sleepless night,

as the darkness advances,

look up at the sky and

somehow remember that somewhere

in this wide world, there are always

people who love you, and

people who need you. Because

every person can't

go on living alone.

Don't feel negative

Exalt in them!

That will make

all the difference.

Taste The Dawn

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I rise to taste the dawn,
and find that love alone
will shine today.
   Ken Wilber

All journeys have 

secret destinations

of which the traveler 

is unaware.

Oasis of serenity
Inside a parking garage.
Cascading in green
Dancing with the breeze
I like this
Architectural screen.

Seabirds feed them to their young, sometimes

dropping one, or the young do.

The anchovy which is found

in the sea at Athens,

men despise on account of

its abundance, calling it

a poor man's fish; but in

other cities, they prize it,

even where it is far

inferior to our

Athens anchovy.

Chrysippus

Silence is a profound melody,
for those who can hear it
above all the noise.
Socrates

Perhaps It Unlocks Your Dreams

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What makes you vulnerable

makes you beautiful.

There's a word for it...

...Authentic.

Jim Brown 

The understanding gained

in examining a life itself

comes to permeate that life

and direct its course.

To live an examined life

is to make a self-portrait. Robert Nozick

Life is all memory

except for the one

present moment that

goes by so quick you can

hardly catch it going. Tennessee Williams

To all of the grandmothers

who make the world

more gentle, more tolerant

and more safe for our children.

Never doubt your importance. Mary-Lou Rosengren

Choose the least important

day in your life. It will

be important enough.

Thornton Wilder,

On a post a shiny lock gleams Though it guards nothing it seems Brightly new with nothing to connect So what does this lock protect? Perhaps it holds a secret? Perhaps it's a symbol indeed? A reminder there is always something unknown. Or perhaps it unlocks

your dreams.

Rise Up Together

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The scariest demons

of darkest night,

fade in the glory

of morning's good light.

We are made to rise,
to soar, born to
reach for stars, to

share the sky before us.
So let us rise together

With hearts full of love,
Show the world
what we're made of.
A nation of dreamers,
A nation of hope,
Together we can overcome.
So let us rise together.

Make our voices heard,
Sing but do not shout
Stand in the light
Resilient people,
Our nation of hope,
Together we prevail.

We can be serene

even in the midst of

calamities and, by our

serenity, make others

more tranquil.

Swami Satchidananda

Maracas on the Shadow Tree Trail

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Colorful maracas

Hanging as a curtain.
Mysterious and joyful
They whisper on the breeze.
I imagine we are dancing
in a faraway land. The people are happy.
And we are happy too.
Now I know they are

more than just decor
They are a secret doorway

to another world. If you dare step through,
You'll be transported,
To a place where

anything is possible.

Tropic like it’s hot

And they lived

pineappley ever after

The Shadow Tree may tell

Shadow Tree may show
Secrets of the fairies
Dancing full moon's glow.

Ancient nature whispers.

If we listen.

 We learn from sunset's hour To let the cares of day Pass by, and in the stillness Reflect on gracious day.

Come inside before the fire

the nights are growing long.

Our sweetness all the sweeter

Since you joined me

in this song!
