Best Religion

 A L O H A from
H O N O L U L U

Whatever makes you more compassionate,

more sensible,

more detached, more loving,

more humanitarian, 

more responsive,

more ethical....

...The religion that will do that 

for you is the best religion.

Dalai Lama 

No private  jets

just worn-out shoes,

Pavement poems,

chasing the muse.

Laughter echoes

down the street,

Neighbors gathered,

Who kindly greet.

If it seems a childish 

thing to do, do it 

in remembrance that 

you are a child.
Frederick Buechner

The Sign

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

 Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. Aesop

If you dream of 

becoming an eagle, 

you follow your dreams 

and not the words of 

a bunch of chickens. 

   Penny Johnson Jerald

Western Toad

Poetry is the art 

of creating imaginary 

gardens with real toads.

Marianne Moore

Life is at its best 

when everything has 

fallen out of place, 

and you decide that 

you're going to fight 

to get them right-

Night never had 

the last word. 

The dawn is always 

invincible.     

Hugh B. Brown

All humans realize 

they are loved when 

witnessing the dawn; 

early morning is the 

triumph of good over evil. 

Absolved by light 

we decide to go on.     

    Rufus Wainwright

 HAPPINESS

Always Looks Small

When You Hold It

 In Your Hand -

 But Let It Go,

And You learn at once 

How B I G And how

PRECIOUS it is.

I Talk to myself.

Sometimes I need

Excited

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Walking is good for solving problems —

it’s like the feet are

little psychiatrists. Terri Guillemets

A big part of being happy
is being excited. Be excited
for everything -
making a cup of tea,
seeing a friend, the next
episode of your favorite show,
buying something you've been
saving up for, sunsets,
traveling, falling in love.
Live a life you are
excited about!

Never Regret anything 

that made you smile.

Mark Twain

Immature coconut

a baby seal!

No one else

can make you happy. Happiness is the result of love coming out of you. This is the Mastery of Love. Don Miguel Ruiz

Banana Flower

How can you tell the

difference between a

monster and a banana? Try picking it up.

If you can’t,

it’s either a monster

or a giant banana.

Miracles Growing

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

May the stars carry

your sadness away,

May the flowers fill

your heart with beauty,

May hope forever wipe

away your tears,

And, above all, may

silence make you strong.

Chief Dan George,

Tsleil-Waututh Nation

Every time we remember 

to say "thank you," 

we experience nothing less 

than heaven on earth.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

Honi is a Polynesian greeting

that involves two people

touching noses and inhaling simultaneously. It's a

traditional way to greet

others, regardless of gender. 

Out of difficulties 

grow miracles.

There's light at the end,

That's what they say, But look and see,

There's a glow all along the way! Even in darkness,

Shimmers if slight, Dancing and humming

Such curious light! Challenges can look

like shadows too tall, But what if they turned

Into friends after all? Each twist and curve,

A chance to explore, To learn and to grow, and

Become something more. Remember when facing

A tunnel so long, Your friend the light

That is there all along. In laughter and kindness,

In friendship and play, Even life's darkness

Can't keep joy away. Cloudia Charters

Winner Regardless

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Never be in a hurry; 

do everything quietly 

and in a calm spirit.

Do not lose your inner 

peace for anything 

whatsoever, even if your 

whole world seems upset.

What is anything in life 

compared to peace of soul?

     Francis de Sales

Cooper Hawk

When a leader disregards 

constitutional order, they 

give up legitimacy and 

the people are justified in 

treating them as a 

thief and a robber. 

Whosoever in authority 

exceeds the power given 

him by the law and makes 

use of the force he has 

under his command…ceases in 

that to be a magistrate; and, 

acting without authority, may be opposed, as any other man, 

who by force invades the 

right of another.”  

John Locke 1690 *

Second Treatise on Government

Wong Ho Lane @ Young St. Honolulu

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, 

or a ladder. 

Help someone's 

soul heal. 

Walk out of 

your house 

like a shepherd.

   Rumi 

Appreciate every moment

because this moment

is your precious life.

An appreciation of what

you have brings the

ultimate abundance

in your life.

  Debasish Mridha

Regardless of how 

you feel inside, always try 

to look like a winner. 

Even if you are behind, 

a sustained look of control 

and confidence can give you 

a mental edge that 

results in victory. 

  Diane Arbus

Though she be but little,

Shakespeare,

*John Locke is considered a crucial figure in the development of democracy because his political philosophy, particularly his ideas about natural rights, the social contract, and the right to revolution, laid the foundation for the concept of government based on the consent of the governed, significantly influencing the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution, where principles like separation of powers and individual liberties are deeply rooted in his theories.
