For Use Were Made

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Oh, garden, with
your vibrant hue,
You paint my morning,
fresh and new.
A canvas splashed
with life and light,
A perfect start,
serene and bright.




All doubt, despair and fear
become insignificant once
the intention of life
becomes love.
Rumi



Hide not your talents.
They for use were made.
What’s a sundial in the shade?
Benjamin Franklin





Heliconia
I decided that the most
subversive, revolutionary thing
I could do was to show up
for my life and not be ashamed.
Anne Lamott


If you are patient in 
one moment of anger, 
you will escape a 
hundred days of sorrow.
             Chinese Proverb

The problem is not slipping up;
the problem is thinking that
if you can not do something
perfectly, then you shouldn’t
do it at all.

All You Need To Warm Your Heart

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The older you get,
the more you realize it's
okay to live a life that
others don't understand.
Tyler Knott Gregson




When skies turn gray,
and raindrops fall,
Don't let your spirits
sink at all!
For in each drop
a gentle grace,
Symphonies of
nature's embrace.




"Snickers"
A worthy person is still
worthy even penniless.
A donkey is a donkey
even if finely saddled.
Turkish Proverb



My old 1973 bmw r75/5
The engine purrs a distant song, Two wheels parked, a journey done. No dust-kissed roads
or wind-whipped hair, Just echoes of adventures shared.

Each curve a prayer, each hill a test, A rebel hymn upon my chest. Now quiet roads of mind I roam, Old stories bloom, while here at home. For though the miles may cease to spin, The joy they brought still dwells within.
Contentment hums, a gentler tune, symphony of all that's been. The open road, a chapter closed, But in my heart, the legend grows.

So let the quiet be my guide, My journey's wisdom, deep inside. The motorcycle, a memory's gleam, But adventure flows on, the endless stream.
And in the stillness, I confess, The greatest ride is mindfulness. So let the engine's hum be still, I've chased enough, my cup is filled.


A nice warm shower,
a cup of tea, and
a caring ear may be all
you need to warm your heart.
Charles F. Glassman

Heart Life Pleasures

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
When your heart speaks take good notes. Judith Campbell




Life is a succession of moments.

 To live each one is to succeed.

            Corita Kent

 



A little "thank you" that you will say to someone for a "little favour" shown to you is a key to unlock the doors that hide unseen "greater favours". Learn to say "thank you" and why not?
 Israelmore Ayivor




Why not seize the pleasure at once, how often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations.
Jane Austen

Free To Delight

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In ordinary life we hardly realize
that we receive a great deal more
than we give, and that it is only
with gratitude that life becomes rich.
Deitrich Bonhoeffer





 Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. Mother Theresa



Birds sing after a storm;
why shouldn't people feel
as free to delight in
whatever sunlight
remains to them?
Rose Kennedy



She has a light inside her
that makes other people look better. Homer Simpson, Of his wife Marge

Branches

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The Promised Land always lies on the other side of a Wilderness. Havelock Ellis




When you take the high road you will see things that most people won’t. Lolly Daskal



If what I say 
resonates with you, 
it is merely because we 
are both branches 
on the same tree.
         W. B. Yeats




In a time of so
much inhumanity,
be human. John Pavlovitz

When Morning Comes

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When the morning comes,
let it go, this
too shall pass.
Cindy Woodsmall


Stars weave dreams
on midnight’s quilt.
First rays of dawn
reveal their built.
Amogh Swamy





Imagine what our neighborhoods
would be like if each of us
offered, as a matter of course,
just one kind word
to another person.
   Fred Rogers




Oncidium sphacelatum is a
species of orchid that ranges
from Mexico to Central America
and southeastern Venezuela.
It's also known as the
Dancing-lady Orchid or
Kandyan dancer orchid
in Sri Lanka.



Some people are like unpaid therapy.
They come, they shine,
make us smile and never ask
for anything in return.
Those are important people.
   Michael Oluwaseun





Life isn't about getting and having,
it's about giving and being!
     Giovanni Sawyer




The problem with
closed-minded people is that
their mouth is always open.
