Shine Three

Follow your bliss

 and the universe 

will open doors

 for you where there 

were only walls.

 Joseph Campbell

3 Ages, Three Stages

Girl 

The morning dew, 

Soft and bright,  

A butterfly dances 

In golden light.  

Laughter spills 

Like a bubbling stream,  

Life unfolds as 

A waking dream.

Woman

Midday sun, 

Steady and strong,  

Paths Multiply, 

Some short, some long.  

Mountains rise

 Rivers wind,  

Learning truths 

Both harsh and kind.

Wise Elder 

Early evening moon,

Serene and near,  

Whispers of wisdom 

Lingering clear.  

Leaves fall gently 

at twilight’s glow,  

In quiet peace 

Let the seasons flow.  

Like the lotus rising 

From mud to me  

Each stage blooms

In its own beauty.

is missing in them.

Mind Lift

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

This is not a

left or right moment.

It is a

right or wrong

moment. Cory Booker

Plumeria 

Now shall I walk

Or shall I ride? “Ride,” Pleasure said. “Walk,” Joy replied. W.H. Davies 

Judgments prevent us

from seeing the good that lies

beyond appearances. Wayne Dyer

An inexhaustible good nature 

is one of the most 

precious gifts of heaven, 

spreading itself like oil 

over the troubled sea 

of thought, and keeping 

the mind smooth and equable

in the roughest weather.

    Washington Irving 

When it comes to

staying young,

a mind-lift beats

a face-lift any day. Marty Bucella

This Story Is Far From Over

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

A point of view

can be a dangerous luxury

when substituted for 

insight and understanding. 

  Marshall McLuhan

One sees great things 

from the valley,

only small things 

from the peak.

   G. K. Chesterton

Mirrors should think longer 

before they reflect.

Jean Cocteau

Happiness is not 

the absence of problems

but the ability 

to deal with them.

Montesquieu

Writing is a way of

saying that you

and the world

have a chance.

"A Child Could Do That"

Wisdom is the 

abstract of the past,

 but beauty is 

the promise of the future.

 Oliver Wendell Holmes

From Within

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

Morning is

nature's way of saying: Live life one more time, make a difference, touch one heart, encourage one mind and inspire one soul. Ash Sweeney 

Sometimes 

people are beautiful.

Not in looks.

Not in what they say.

Just in what they are.

     Markus Zusak

 Educating the mind

without educating the heart, is no

education at all. Aristotle 

It takes courage to be kind. Maya Angelou

Even Sin A Little

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Be patient where 

you sit in the dark.

The dawn is coming.

       Rumi

The world is new to us 

every morning 

- this is God's gift; 

and everyone should believe 

they are reborn each day.     

Baal Shem Tov

Whenever the devil 

harasses you, 

seek the company of people

 or drink more, 

or joke and talk nonsense, 

or do some other merry thing. 

Sometimes we must drink more, 

sport, recreate ourselves, 

and even sin a little 

to spite the devil.

                       Martin Luther

There is one spectacle 

grander than the sea,

that is the sky;

there is one spectacle 

grander than the sky,

that is the interior 

of the soul

Victor Hugo

What sunshine is to flowers, 

smiles are to humanity. 

These are but trifles, 

to be sure; but scattered 

along life's pathway, 

the good they do 

is inconceivable.

     Joseph Addison

Secrets of Aloha

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

'MORNING'

Kapiolani Blvd @ Piikoi St, Honolulu

 Each morning offers 

lessons in light. 

For the morning light 

teaches the most 

basic of truths: 

Light chases away darkness.

  Anasazi Foundation

Inside myself is a place

where I live all alone,

 and that's where I renew

my springs that

never dry up. 

      Pearl S. Buck

Life is simply a mix 

of mayhem and magnolia, 

so embrace the gentle riot, 

and gather flowers 

along the way.

  Kat Savage

In the islands

Where sunsets glow,

Aloha whispers secrets, 

In the Trade Winds that blow.

Gentle reminders

To just "Let be"

To value peace and 

Respect harmony.

Like ocean waves

We ebb and flow,

Embracing moments

Our confidence grows.

Rising gently to

Touch the shore,

Aloha teaches tenderly

Just love all the more.

In this wisdom

We find our way,

To carry peace

Through every day.
