Everyday Teacher

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Don't try to be profound
or educated. That only
wears you out.
Just be simple.
Let everyday life
be your teacher.
Vernon Howard



Take the first step in faith.
You don't have to see
the whole staircase,
just take the first step.
Dr. M.L. King



 Knowledge is proud
that it knows so much;
wisdom is humble that
it knows no more.
    William Cowper



There is a grace of kind 
listening, as well as a 
grace of kind speaking.
      Frederick William Faber



It always helps to have
people we love beside us
when we have to do
difficult things in life.
  Fred Rogers

Who Or Where You've Been

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Approaching the beach on foot
is like entering the precincts
of a grand cathedral,
a pilgrimage site.
There are always strangers
about but they too are pilgrims.
Here we experience our
commonality before the waves,
the space, the sky.
Our pilgrim hearts In borrowed sun, Toward the ocean's altar run.


Guardian of Liberty
The only freedom which
deserves the name, is that
of pursuing our own good
in our own way,
so long as we do not attempt
to deprive others of theirs-
John Stuart Mill




Step within, if you dare, Tunnel of timeless secrets to share. Stripes of sun and shade agree Whispers of eternity.


A private life
with your favorite people
is a happy life.




Who you are becoming
is more important than
who you've been.
Joe Clementi

Try Approving

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You've been criticizing yourself
for years and
it hasn't worked.
Try approving of yourself
and see what happens.
Louise Hay





There is not enough darkness
in all the world to
put out the
light of even
one small candle.
   Robert Alden




One joy scatters
a hundred griefs
If I keep a green bough
in my heart, the
singing bird will come.
Chinese Proverbs




Authenticity is a collection of
choices that we have to
make every day. It's about the
choice to show up and be real.
The choice to be honest.
The choice to let our
true selves be seen.
 Brene Brown

Protaetia hieroglyphica 


There is a difference
between happiness and wisdom:

one who thinks himself the happiest
is really so; but he that thinks
himself the wisest is
generally the greatest fool.

Sir Francis Bacon




Experience is not what
happens to us,
rather it is what we do
with what happens to us.
Anthony J. D'Angelo




One small cat changes
coming home to an
empty house to
coming home.

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
