Confer That Pleasure

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

When given the choice
between being right
and being kind,
choose kind.
Dr. Wayne Dyer

Remember
there's no such thing
as a small act of kindness.
Every act creates a ripple
with no logical end.
Scott Adams

You find yourself refreshed by
the presence of cheerful people.
Why not make an honest effort
to confer that pleasure
on others?
Lydia M. Child

Come, sit with me now.

We'll gaze at the falling sun

as it grazes this horizon for,

I want to talk about simple

nothings and silent stirrings,

and wild things with someone

who means everything.
Victoria Erickson

There is no worse poverty

than one that deprives

one of dignity... the effect

of a disposable culture

that considers the

human being as

a consumer good.

Hit the reset button.

Whatever happened yesterday,

forget about it.

Get a new perspective.

Today is a new day.

Fresh start begins now.

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.

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.

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

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.
