Hit the reset button.

Whatever happened yesterday,

forget about it.

Get a new perspective.

Today is a new day.

Fresh start begins now.

 Germany Kent

The stars are gentle 

spheres of wonder, 

rolling through silence — 

each a thought 

the universe keeps.

 Whatever precautions you take 

so the photograph will look

 like this or that, 

there comes a moment 

when the photograph 

surprises you.

It is the other's gaze 

that wins out 

and decides.

Jacques Derrida 

The heart, like the mind,

has a memory.
And in it are kept the

most precious keepsakes.

Saturday Critters

The Crown-flower queen,
In robes of lilac blue
With her stems of attendants,
And Bees, around her head.

The little bees are glad,
For they know that she is good, And the Crown-flower is happy,
In their neighborhood.

Together they endure
In harmony and peace.
The crown herself is crowned
By her golden bees.

The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves. Pema Chodron

Even the bad moments,

the tough ones,

I'm proud of them, too.

Those moments 

get you better, smarter, 

make you grow.

The secret to life

is finding joy

Don’t let the tall weeds

cast a shadow on the

beautiful flowers

in your garden.

Perfect petals  

invite quick praise

sunlight adoring  

With first morning rays.

Yet with years,  

the eye learns  

to linger  

on the fallen bloom, 

With light a flicker.

Frayed edges  

whispering of

wind and rain.

Yet much still matters  

Essence still remains.

Campfire

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Autumn brings a longing 

to get away from the 

unreal things of life, out 

into the forest at 

night with a campfire 

and the rustling leaves.

                  Margaret Sangster

Take heart. 

If you are alive today,

You are a warrior 

of the soul. 

After a while, 

whoever you are, 

you just have 

to let go, and the 

river brings 

you home.

        Joanne Harris

Away from the tumult 

of motor and mill

I want to be care-free; 

I want to be still!

 

 I'm weary of doing things; 

weary of words

I want to be one 

with the blossoms

and birds.

      Edgar A. Guest

A L O H A  From

Stand tall, 

Proud, and bright,

Be a beacon 

To the night.

Head held high 

Please always be

The change we want 

And need to see.

If you do not see light 

at the end of the tunnel, 

consider it an opportunity 

to create an opening 

yourself, wherever 

you want.

The way to mend

the bad world is to

   Ralph Waldo Emerson

Remember,

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

It is strange that 

the years teach 

us patience;

that the shorter 

our time,

the greater our 

capacity for waiting.

Of This Moment

 A L O H A  From

Creator, bless my eyes

that I may see with love.

Bless my mouth that

I may speak with love.

Bless my heart that

I may give and

receive love.

Bless my hands that

all I touch feels loved.

against a fool determined
to believe a lie.

And once the storm is over, 

you won't remember how 

you made it through, 

how you managed 

to survive. 

You won't even be sure, 

whether the storm 

is really over. But 

one thing is certain. 

When you come out 

of the storm, 

you won't be the same 

person who walked in.

 Haruki Murakami

Ataraxia

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

When the wind
forgets to hurry
so does the heart.

Untroubled leaves
can rest
where they fall—
nothing to resist.

Peace is not won,
only remembered,
like finding calm water
in the middle

of the storm.

Cloudia Charters

The tree can whisper
with the clouds only if
its roots go very deep
into the earth.
Osho

Hope is being able
to see that there is
light despite all of
the darkness.
Desmond Tutu

To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer

to the universe. Eckhart Tolle
