You ARE

A L O H A From Honolulu!


People are like
stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.Elisabeth Kübler-Ross







Do you have someone
that you wouldn't trade
for a million dollars
You have a
million dollar relationship!




True friends are those
who lift you up
when your heart's wings
forget how to fly.
Anonymous






If it seems a childish thing
to do, do it in remembrance
that you are a child. Frederick Buechner





  


The first duty of
a revolutionary is to
get away with it. Abbie Hoffman

Arrange The Unexpected

A L O H A From Honolulu!

With nimble heart
and open mind,
The world unfolds
new paths to find.



The marvels of daily
life are exciting;
no movie director can 
arrange the unexpected 
that you find in the street.
            Robert Doisneau




The need to be right is
the sign of a vulgar mind. Albert Camus



The more you spend your time
in the ordinary streets,
the more extraordinary
things you will learn! Mehmet Murat ildan




Silence is one of the 
great arts of conversation.
          Marcus Tullius Cicero

200 Feet Tall

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The world is full of magical things 
patiently waiting for our wits
to grow sharper.
           Bertrand Russell



Tropical Traffic Emerald giants line the street, Iron horses inch along and compete
Palm trees sway in sun-kissed skies,
Mirrored on a windshield, *sigh*
Contrasts dance, a curious scene,
Paradise glimpsed, on metal sheen.
But wait, a uku
lele's tune,
Spills from a truck, a joyful croon!
 Paradise is still there, waiting
beyond the traffic jam.



Elaborate Bamboo In 
A Dragon Pot For
Lunar New Year Good Luck

Today or any day 
that phone may ring 
and bring good news. 
   Ethel Waters





The kapok tree, Ceiba pentandra,
or silk-cotton tree,
grows up to 200 feet tall,
 10 feet across at the trunk!


A kind heart is a beautiful
thing to share, but
don't forget to extend
those amazing traits to yourself.
You are worthy of your
own love and care.
Morgan Richard Olivier

Hawaiian Honeycreepers are
a group of small birds endemic
to Hawaiʻi. They are members
of the finch family Fringillidae,
closely related to the
rosefinches, but many species
have evolved features unlike
those present in any other finch.

Refreshed and Anew

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Canoe Looks To Sea
Glorious sunshine, morning grace, Perfect moments, time and space. Happy sun, with gentle might, Banishes the darkest night.



He Looks To She
When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude. Elie Wiesel



Critter Running Free
Even the smallest bird
can carry the biggest dream.
Native American Proverb
  



Twinned blooms in vibrant dance, Birds of paradise, share a trance.
Exotic dreams on slender stems, Jungle fire in silent hymns.



As each day comes to us refreshed and anew, so does my gratitude renew itself daily. The breaking of the sun over the horizon is my grateful heart dawning upon a blessed world. Terri Guillemets

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




Crown Flowers & Monarch Butterfly
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
