Ever Wild And Free

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If your inner child is

still alive as an adult,

you won,

you kept your magic,

you didn't let the world kill it.

   Anonymous

Not crone, or girl

Grown woman, pure and plain,

Yet here she carves on a skateboard

Tearing down the lane!

I watched her

as she really flew

This vibrant soul

With a different view.

Silvered hair and

laughter in her eyes,

She flies into sight

Quite a bold surprise!

A mother, maybe,

Or grandma who knows?

Her spirit's still young

And fresh as a rose.

She carves the streets

All elegance and ease,

Symphony of motion

Refreshing as a breeze.

Defying norms she's wild, 

 Timeless as a song.

Happily gay and free,

Confidently strong,

Riding her board 

The perfect place,

Sanctuary of speed

Of sun, of grace.

Symbol of a life

Well-lived, we see,

A spirit bright forever

Ever wild and free.

As I make my slow
pilgrimage through the world,
a certain sense of beautiful
mystery seems to
gather and grow.
A. C. Benson

Love is an endless mystery,

it has nothing else to explain it.

The Genius Of Enthusiasm

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We are shaped by our thoughts;

we become what we think.

When the mind is pure,

joy follows like a

shadow that never leaves.

    Gautama Buddha

Nothing is so contagious

as enthusiasm; it moves

stones, it charms brutes,

Enthusiasm is the genius of

sincerity, and truth accomplishes

no victories without it.

   Bulwer Lytton

Problems are the outward signs

of unused inner possibilities. 

Rollo May

 

Forgiveness is the ability

to give love away in the

most difficult of circumstances.

Wayne Dyer

There is not one little blade of grass,

there is no color in this world

that is not intended to

make us rejoice.

John Calvin

Just follow your joy. Always.

I think that if you do that,

life will take you on the

course that it’s meant to take you.

Let's Go Beach See Rainbow

A L O H A From Honolulu!

To be happy
you must be
your own sunshine.
Charles Edward Jerningham

Let's go beach

See rainbow!

Ocean blue,

Waves crash slow.

Sky so bright,

Colors glowing.

Drink da sun,

So warm and knowing.

Barefoot in da sand,

We'll be happy and free, Grateful for dis moment,

Just you, this island,

And me.

Dare to love yourself
as if you were a rainbow
with gold at both ends
Aberjhan

Just stay real.

Be honest with yourself.

And do the best you can.

Simply Joy

A L O H A From Honolulu!

To the illuminated mind 

the whole world

 sparkles with light.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's a good thing that
when God created the
rainbow he didn't consult a
decorator or he would still
be picking colors.
Sam Levenson

Suspended high daring feat!
Canvas of glass reflections to greet.
With steady hand and focused eye,
Paints with water an azure sky.

Dances on air, delicate grace!
Master of angles,

of time, and of space.
So let us applaud

this overlooked art,
Of window washers

with grateful heart.
Pixie

Dwell within

gentle quiet flame,

With simple joy

transmute my pain.

What I want is so simple
I almost can't say it:
elementary kindness.

Different Horizons - Different Places

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We cross the stream of life
at different places.
Some wade through the
shallows in a drought, others
have to swim across
deep waters in a storm.
Charles Edward Jerningham

I certainly don't regret

my experiences because

without them, I couldn't

imagine who or where

I would be today.

Life is an amazing gift

to those who have overcome

great obstacles, and

attitude is everything!
Sasha Azevedo

Each bird must sing

with his own throat.

   Henrik Ibsen

It's so simple to be wise.

Just think of something

stupid to say and

say the opposite.

Time Is

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

True wisdom lies in gathering the

precious things

out of

each day as

it goes by.

E. S. Bouton

When one door closes,

another opens;

but we often

look so long and

so regretfully

upon the closed

door that we do

not see the one

that has opened

for us.

  Alexander Graham Bell

Time is a circus,

always packing up

and moving away.

Ben Hecht

It was a night so beautiful that
your soul seemed hardly able to
bear the prison

of the body.

W. Somerset Maugham

Be true, be kind,

be strong of heart. Do all you can,

play well your part. Let spirit guide

and wisdom mend. Then what you keep

is what you spend.
