The more you spend your time in the ordinary streets, the more extraordinary things you will learn!

Faith is not a question of the existence or non-existence of God. It is believing that love

without reward is valuable.
Emmanuel Levinas

Keep your faith in
all beautiful things; in
the sun when it is hidden,
in the Spring when
it is gone.
Roy R. Gilson

Don't force your children into your ways, for they were created for a time different from your own.
Plato

You live longer
once you realize that
any time spent
being unhappy
is wasted.
Ruth E. Renkl

Cowards Are Cruel

A L O H A From Honolulu!

People who shine from within

don't need the spotlight.
Zig Ziglar

A hibiscus blooms, bold and bright, Wisdom shared, in radiant light.

No trait is more useful, more essential for survival, and more likely to improve the quality of life than the ability to transform adversity into an enjoyable challenge. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience

Cowards are cruel, but the brave love mercy and delight to save. John Gay

Some people care too much.

I think it's called love. A.A. Milne

Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. Mark Twain

Life takes us to

unexpected places sometimes.

The future is never set

The Universe Only Pretends

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What are the things that

you can't see that are important?

I would say justice, truth, humility,

service, compassion, love.

You can't see any of those, but

they're the guiding lights of a life.

US President Jimmy Carter

One of the most cowardly

things ordinary people do is

to shut their eyes to facts.

C.S. Lewis

The secret to life is meaningless

unless you discover it yourself.

W. Somerset Maugham

The universe only pretends

to be made of matter.

Secretly, it is

made of love.

Daniel Pinchbeck

Thankfulness is the

fountain of contentment

Let The Children Play

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Some people come and go and are forgotten. But there are other people who share a part in our destinies. They come, they go, but they are never forgotten. They come, they go, but even after they go... they're still here. They never really went anywhere.
C. JoyBell C.

Let them spend their days in sunshine

living their imagination. These wild children in morning sun will become adults of mind and spirit capable of creating society for 

their families and all of us.

People hurry by so quickly
Don't they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies
Songs, to aging children come
(Songs, to aging children come)
Aging children, I am one (I am one)

Joni Mitchell

Songs to Aging Children Come lyrics © Reservoir Media Management Inc

 Remember: Joy is
not merely incidental
to your spiritual quest.
It is vital.
Nachman of Bratslav

What would you drink from

these red and green crystal flutes
guarded by Sharks Teeth?

A.I. Answer:
"If I could drink in red and gold crystal flutes guarded by sharks, I would drink a magical elixir that grants me the ability to fly. I would raise my glass to the sharks and say, "Thank you for guarding this precious gift. I will use it wisely.""

As If You Have Nowhere To Go

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sky Slash @ Sunset

A fiery blade across the sky,

Canvas painted

with twilight's kiss.

From crimson red

to golden hues,

A symphony of colors,

Draping the world

In gold.

With every swipe of your squeegee,

You give us all a clearer view.

Teaching us to appreciate

The beauty in the everyday.

You leave the world a little brighter.

Thank you, window washers,

for all that you do.

Welcome, my little,

To this beautiful life.

On your first beach day

We walk hand-in-hand

You giggle as the waves

Reach your toes,

 May you always find

This wonder everyday.

The waves of joy ever

crash upon your shore,

Welcome to this beautiful life.

We'll leave our footprints here.

I live by letting things happen.

Dogen

Most people cannot believe

that just walking as if

you have nowhere to go

is enough.

Thich Nhat Hanh
