Bright Moon Promised Land

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Honolulu Chinatown
Everybody goes through
difficult times, but it is
those who push through
those difficult times who
will eventually become
successful in life.
Don't give up, because
this too shall pass.
Jeanette Coron

Flowers grow
out of dark moments,
therefore, each moment is vital.
It affects the whole.
Life is a succession of
such moments and to
live each, is to succeed.
Corita Kent 




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


Who suffers before it is necessary,
suffers more than is necessary. Lucius Annaeus Seneca



You are a manuscript
oƒ a divine letter.
You are a mirror
reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.

Sometimes Silence Speaks Volumes

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Let your hopes,
not your hurts,
shape your future. Robert H. Schuller



When life is sweet, say
thank you and celebrate. When life is bitter,
say thank you and grow. Shauna Niequist


How come 33 is thirty-three,
22 is twenty-two, but
11 is not oney-one?



Sometimes
silence speaks volumes

Permit yourself to change
your mind when something
is no longer working for you.
 Nedra Glover Tawwab





A bridge of silver wings
stretches from the dead ashes
of an unforgiving nightmare to the jeweled vision of
a life started anew. Aberjhani


 When the mind is blurred,
everything becomes blurred
even on the brightest day;
when mind is clear everything
becomes clear even
on the foggiest day! Mehmet Murat ildan



True hearts beat
with authentic grace. In simplicity
connection finds a space.

just by being yourself.
The moon does it all the time.

No Greater Journey

A L O H A From Honolulu!

No matter
how dark the night,
somehow the sun rises
once again and all
shadows are chased away.

David Matthew




In a forest of a hundred
thousand trees, no two
leaves are alike. And
no two journeys along the
same path are alike.
Paulo Coelho



Until you spread your wings,
you'll have no idea
how far you can fly.
   Napoleon Bonaparte 




There is no greater journey than
the one that you must take
to discover all of the mysteries
that lie within you.
Michelle Sandlin



When we love, we always strive
to become better than we are.
When we strive to become
better than we are,
everything around us
becomes better too. Paulo Coelho

Milk's Leap

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Behind the fronds, a fiery birth,
Sun ignites the sleeping Earth.
Golden fingers seeking find,
Palm trees swaying heart and mind.



Banana Tree
You can't teach calculus
to a chimpanzee.
So just share your banana.
John Rachel


The secret of life is
enjoying the passage of time.
James Taylor





There's a period of life when we swallow a knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside. Pearl Bailey


A lion does not flinch at
laughter coming from a hyena.
A gorilla does not budge from a
banana thrown at it by a monkey.
A nightingale does not stop
singing its beautiful song at
the intrusion of an
annoying woodpecker. Suzy Kassem

Cheese is milk's leap
toward immortality.
Clifton Fadiman

There is no sense in crying
over spilt milk.
Why bewail what is done
and cannot be recalled?

Imperfection Most Sublime

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Close your eyes,
let sunlight paint
Her soft brushstrokes
upon your soul.
In quietude remember
The child who knew how
to make herself whole.



Stars my ceiling
moon my guide
Peace within
dreams applied.




The shell may be
built on a curve, but
the pearl within is perfect.
Imperfections can give birth
to the most sublime beauty.
    Rumi



Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts. Martin Buxbaum
