Equidistant Equally Near

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Winter for Hawaii People,
Summer for Visitors!

No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one, no other land could so longingly and so beseechingly haunt me, sleeping and walking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done. Other things leave me, but it abides; other things change, but it remains the same. For me its balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun...
in my nostrils still lives the breath
of flowers that perished
twenty years ago. Mark Twain in Hawaii,
Roughing It in the Sandwich Islands:
Hawaii in the 1860s


The dance of the palm trees,
the oceans calling, the
first rays of sun and
heaven is here.
 Michael Dolan




Weather the storm
you cannot avoid;
Avoid the storm
you cannot weather.


Equidistant souls stars apart yet near dancing heavens among the spheres. Though miles may stretch cosmic ties will bind our constellations of heart and mind. Perhaps a dream a whisper in the void, Two melodies played
on instruments of joy.


Stay away
from negative people.
They have a problem
for every solution
Albert Einstein

Sunbeams

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life is like balloons. If you never let yourself go You will never know how far you can rise. Linda Poindexter


If you have good thoughts 
they will shine 
out of your face 
like sunbeams 
and you will 
always look lovely.

The years teach much 
which the days never knew.

Thin The Veil

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

After a while, 
whoever you are, 
you just have to
let go, and the 
river brings you home.
        Joanne Harris


It isn't the great big 
pleasures that count the most;
it's making a great deal 
out of the little ones.
           Jean Webster






All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice
like a child. Marie Curie


The happiest people 
don't worry too much 
about whether life 
is fair or not, they 
just get on with it.
      Andrew Matthews




 Gratitude
Dissolves fear.
A smile
Thins the veil
Between Heaven 
& Earth,
Between souls.


 And when old Winter puts 
his blank face to the glass, 
I shall close all my shutters, 
pull the curtains tight, 
And build me stately 
palaces by candlelight.
       Charles Baudelaire

Sun-Kissed

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The guardian angels of life
sometimes fly so high as
to be beyond our sight, but
they are always
looking down upon us.
Jean Paul


A swirl of soap,
her breath held tight, As magic floats
into the light. Rainbow orbs,
whispering sphere, Dancing on the breeze
float near. Tiny feet in
gleeful chase, Smiling wide, with
sun-kissed face. So chase, little dreamer,
with laughter and glee,
For bubbles and childhood,
are magic and free.


It takes two years to
learn to speak and
sixty to learn to keep quiet.
Ernest Hemingway


We are nostalgic not
only for good times, but
also for times that
were challenging.
After all, they too
made us who we are.


In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have. Ralph Marston

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
