Enjoyment Of It

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We are all visitors to this time,

this place. We are just

passing through. Our purpose

here is to observe, to learn, to grow,

to love… and then we return home.

Australian Aboriginal Proverb

There are enough critics

and fault finders.

Support one another!

Life and the world are so kind.

They generally conspire to

give us what we expect. So

why not expect the best?!

Never fall before you are pushed. 

California Oak Tree

California oak so strong and brown,

Whispers tales of ages flown. Of shamans' chants and hunters' calls, Before highways and shopping malls.

Before the ships before the plow, She knew the deer, the

hawk on her bough

Under her shade, the elders sat Weaving stories passing chat. Children danced their laughter light, As acorns tumbled brown and bright.

 It is a beautiful

and blessed world we live in, and while life lasts, to lose the enjoyment of it is a sin. A.W. Chambers

Goodness Ripples

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You can give without loving,

but you can never

love without giving.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Famous Monkey Pod Tree, the "Hitachi tree"
Moanalua Gardens, an exceptional tree
of the City & County of Honolulu. Link

Sun-kissed path, a silent vow,

Blessings whispered, here and now. Not grand pronouncements,

nor wealth's decree, Just gentle ripples,

setting hearts free. A smile, a touch,

a gaze that sees, Kindness blooming,

carried by the breeze. No need for pomp,

no fanfare's call, In quiet acts,

love conquers all. For blessings shared,

like seeds take root, Whispering hope,

bearing precious fruit. So let us sow,

with open hand, Goodness that ripples,

across the land.

Collaboration: Hibiscus & fallen Orchid Tree Blossom

Difference between I like & I love? When you like a flower,

you just pluck it. But

when you love a flower,

you water it daily!

 Buddha

Our passing through this earth

is so absurd and fleeting, that

it calms me to know that I have

been authentic, that I have managed

to be more like myself

as much as I could. Frida Khalo

Rivers Don't Drink

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I am going to live this day,

and treat other people such,

that IF it is my last day

I will have no regrets.

Rivers do not drink their own water;

trees do not eat their own fruit;

the sun does not shine on itself,

and flowers do not spread their

fragrance for themselves. LIVING FOR OTHERS IS

A RULE OF NATURE...

...We are all born to

help each other.

Life is good when

you are happy;

but much better when

others are happy

because of you.

Pope Francis

It is impossible to learn

what we think we already know.

          Epictetus

Even against the greatest of odds,

 there is something 

in the human spirit -

a magic blend of skill,

 faith, and valor -

 that can lift us

 from certain defeat

 to incredible victory. 

 Walter Lord

Shadow  Sign

Sunlight paints a shifting scene,

Dance of light and

dark on the screen Whispered tales in fleeting forms, Where shadows preen

and light transforms. Nature's play, a fleeting show, In every shadow, stories flow.

How Beautiful

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Having your head in the clouds,

even for just a few minutes each day,

is good for your mind,

good for your body,

and good for your soul.

Gavin Pretor-Pinney

It felt my heart might just burst.

Bursting is different than breaking.

Like there is no way to

contain how beautiful.
Peter Heller

Plumeria rubra, also known as
red frangipani or nosegay

Our bodies are our gardens,
Our wills are our gardeners.
Shakespeare

Our job is to love others

without stopping to inquire

whether or not they are worthy.
Thomas Merton

Today well lived
makes every yesterday
a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow
a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore,
to this day.
Indian Proverb

Love With A Stubborn Heart

A L O H A From Honolulu

These are the times

that try men’s souls.
Tyranny, like hell, is

not easily conquered.
  Thomas Paine 

You should sit with nature

20 MINUTES a day.

Unless you are busy;

Then you should sit

for an hour,

  Zen Wisecrack

A dandelion seed takes wing,
A wish upon the air it flings,
It travels far
a whispered dream,
Tiny magic
carried on a gleam.

Wherever you are,

and whatever you do,

be in love.

  Rumi

Magic happens when

you don't give up, even

though you want to.

The universe always falls

in love with a stubborn heart.

 Jonathan Muncy Storm
