Nothing When They Come

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Burst of brilliance
Morning display,
Eclat of light to chase
Spent night away.

A vermeil sash
Across blue velvet sky,
Herald's trumpet
Clear and sharp
And high.

If your manner

doesn't say it,
your words will

sound like lies.

It is the little things

one bungles at.

The big, real ones are

nothing when they come.
E.M. Forster

Why are cows scared of cars? They’re afraid they might

end up on the grill.

What wisdom can you find

that is greater than kindness?

Pride  Godzilla

 While Godzilla isn't officially a mascot for Pride, they have been embraced by the LGBTQ+ community and shows up in fun ways to celebrate Pride Month. Godzilla is sometimes seen as an icon for the LGBTQ+ community, due in part to their long history in pop culture and portrayal as a powerful and confident creature, Godzilla being comfortable with masculinity (crushing cities) and femininity (laying eggs)

 is a great Pride Month symbol! 

Well

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Take the broken pieces

of your life, bake a

master cake out of it.

Once you are Real

you can't be ugly, except to

people who don't understand.

 Margery Williams

In a green place,

see my real face

No mirrors here,

just nature's grace.

In a green place, you can

wear your real face.

Then return to the world

with renewal and space.

Lilac Dream

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The Moon is always there.

A half blink of shadow,

a crescent of an eyelash,

opulent in fullness, spellbound

in nothingness, and a friend.

If you can't explain it

to a six year old, you don't

understand it yourself.

Green is nice, but oh so plain,

Time to paint the world insane!

Jacaranda standing tall,

The prettiest surprise of all!

 Shower of confetti bright,

Like fairies dipped

In lavender light.

Her sidewalk turned

A wonderland,

Of carpet soft and

Oh so grand!

Among the petals

Light and sweet,

A lilac dream

Beneath our feet.

Inside it's shade

A world transformed,

Magic land

Where dreams are born.

If you are ever caught in a trap,

just relax as much as you can

and it will become a trapeze!

When I am silent,

I have thunder

hidden inside.

We The Unknown Beans

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

 There have been as great souls

unknown to fame as any

of the most famous.

  Benjamin Franklin

If the world's a veil of tears,

Smile till rainbows span it.

    Lucy Larcom

 If you want to be a better

communicator, to be better at

influencing others, you have to

start with the heart. Connect to

their heart then talk to their mind. 

    Pete Vargas

If I take the writing deep enough,

something larger and greater

than myself will flash forth

and illuminate me, heal me. 

 Sandra Cisneros

In the pot of boiling water called life

we have three choices. We can

be like a carrot that goes in hard

and becomes soft, or like the egg

that goes in soft but becomes hard,

or we can be like the coffee bean

that changes the pot of boiling water.

Be the Coffee Bean!

Not A BIT Tamed

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Henceforth I ask not good-fortune,

I myself am good fortune;

henceforth I whimper no more,

postpone no more, need nothing.

Strong and content,

I travel the open road.

     Walt Whitman

Simply shine your light on
the road ahead, and you are
helping others to see
their way out of darkness.
Katrina Mayer

Small lights have a way of

being seen in a dark world.

Neal A. Maxwell

Taste of home, soul's delight, Breadfruit bearing culture's light.

Green and round of leafy crown, Breadfruit hangs, treasure found! South Pacific's ancient friend, A bond that stretches, without end.

Connections bloom, with every bite, Ages shared in pure delight. 

More than body it sustains,

Cultures are woven in its veins.

Symbol stitched, with loving hand, Of breadfruit's bounty, ancient and grand.

Leaves of grace, quilter's pride,

Breadfruit's spirit Pacific wide.

I too am not a bit tamed,

I too am untranslatable,

I sound my barbaric yawp

over the roofs of the world.

Vibrant Joyful Space

A L O H A From Honolulu!

June day around the way,
Sunshine and shadow
Newly colorful and gay...

...Flowers peek and preen,
In vibrant display,
Warm breeze whispers secrets
Dancing on its way.

...Lazy days stretch out
time slows its pace,
Fireflies wink

with twilight grace...

...June's a symphony
vibrant, joyful space,
A time of smiles and memories
life's delightful embrace...
