Inexhaustible A Moment At A Time

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Dreams are like stars.
You may never
touch them,
but if you follow them
they will lead you
to your destiny.
Liam James



Dogs live in the moment
and don't dwell on the past,
which is why they are
always so happy.
   Brigitte Bardot


Perhaps our planet is for
learning to appreciate the
extraordinary wonder of life that
surrounds even our suffering,
and to say Yes, if through the
thickest of tears.
  Zora Neale Hurston


The sun, a molten cymbal 
Beats rhythm on the clouds, 
twilight drummer heartbeat
welcomes in the evening crowds. 





An inexhaustible good nature is
one of the most
precious gifts of heaven,
spreading itself like oil
over the troubled sea of thought,
keeping the mind smooth and
equable in the roughest weather.
Washington Irving

Something Better

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In realms unseen,
on emerald leaves, Where sunlight strains
through dappled weaves,
Upon a petal, clean and bright, Tiny dancers rest from flight.
Until they leave with wings unfurled,
Intrepid folk of nature's world. Some giants scoff,
"A speck, no more!" But scoffing hearts
are often sore.
So spread your wings,
wee insect friend, And dance among
the blooms, again! Small or large,
beneath the sky, We all share life,
and yearn to fly.


Hae Hawaii (Hawaiian Flag) and a Party Lei in Window Light

Remember, the best way
to resist darkness is to
shine your own light.
Be the kindness that
defies negativity.
     Mattie Stepanek





Judge no one,
it's a waste of time.
Just improve yourself.




Kindness is not weakness.
It's a superpower to break
the chains of anger and
build something better.
Rachel Joy Scott

Fresh Every Hour

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The scariest demons
of darkest night,
fade in the glory
of morning's 
good light. 





A silhouette that caught my eye,
Dancer frozen in mid-flight,
Splash of color, held so high,
Sidelong glimpse in luscious light.






Keeping Calm, taking a beat, is a radically important act!



Lasting Happiness like wonderful, warm donuts, must be made fresh every hour.
Keep Baking!


When we are together,
I can see Heaven
from here!

Silly Sun

A L O H A From Honolulu!
 The silly sun surrenders
dips its brush in hues of rose,
Painting Honolulu skies
in cotton candy glows.
Stars begin to twinkle
here and there in
the darkening dome, Tiny starfish scattered
across a heavenly home.



The music of hope is everywhere.
All you have to do is listen for it.
Christine M Knight 



We project to others
the image of ourselves that
we believe and carry
in our own minds.
With humble pride
think well of yourself
and others will
do the same.






We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. Whoopi Goldberg

Rising

A L O H A From Honolulu!

For me, the vast marvel
is to be alive.
For man, or for flowers
or beast or bird, the
supreme triumph is to be
most vividly and perfectly alive.
Al Purdy


Side by side,
we step onto the gleam, A metal river,
flowing up, it seems.
Laughter dances,
light as summer breeze, Riding together we
climb with joyful ease. Each rise a promise,
sung into the air, Of dreams we chase
and futures yet to share.







Within the Temple's crimson gate,
Incense serves it's fragrant fate.
Gold and gilt, a vibrant sight,
As New Year dawns,
with wishes bright.


Though traditions ever 
evolve and shift,
This temple holds
a love that lifts.
In shared hearts
and incense haze,
The soul of Chinese
New Year stays.



I'm youth, I'm joy,
I'm a little bird that has
broken out of the egg.
James M. Barrie

Some might say 'old dog,'
I say 'vintage treasure.'
Their love shines brighter
with each grey hair. Every day with this old friend
is a gift. *

He may not jump as high,
but those farts still reach
impressive distances!

Parts of the Banquet

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The rainbow of fulfillment,
a symphony untold,
Each note a vibrant journey,
worth more than purest gold. So listen to the echoes,
and dance within the breeze, The colors will ignite,
bringing scents of peace.


Honolulu adopted the rainbow shower tree
as her official tree in 1965.
If you would know
strength and patience, welcome the company of trees. Hal Borland



The sun, the earth, love, friends, our very breath, are
parts of the banquet. Rebecca H. Davis


When one is willing
and able
the gods join in.
  Aeschylus



You can't live a perfect day
without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. John Wooden

Honolulu's shower trees will bloom
in May and June.
I'm looking forward to it!
