To Stars And Birds

 A L O H A  From

Hope is being able to see that 

there is light despite all of 

the darkness.

    Desmond Tutu

reaching the moon 
people fail to see the 
flowers that blossom 
at their feet.

Confidence is the sweet spot
between arrogance and despair-
consisting of positive expectations
for favorable outcomes.

To listen to stars and birds, 
babes and sages, 
with open heart;
To let the spiritual, 
unbidden and unconscious,
 grow up through the common-
-this is my symphony.
William Henry Channing

1810 - 1884

Let's Get Small

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Don't seek to be happy:

let everyone else chase
after that rainbow.
Seek to be kind, and
you’ll find the rainbow
follows you.
  Richelle E. Goodrich  







Close friends are 

truly life's treasures








In true love the 

smallest distance is 

too great . . .



 . . . and the 

greatest distance 

can be bridged.

    Unknown

​


No need to hurry, 

no need to sparkle, 

no need to be 

anybody but oneself.

     Virginia Woolf


Be yourself; 

everyone else 

is already taken.

 Oscar Wilde

Beautiful Destinations

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

 The sky 

is the daily bread 

of the eyes. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson







Red-crested Cardinal
(Paroaria coronata)
 Self-pity 
gets you nowhere. One must 
have the adventurous daring 
to accept oneself as a 
bundle of possibilities and 
undertake the most 
interesting game in 
the world - making the 
most of one's best.
                   Harry Emerson Fosdick 




The work of the 

mature person is to 

carry grief in one hand 

and gratitude in the other.

Francis Weller






It seems to me

that our most 

enduring loyalties

are to those

who have treated us

with kindness. . .

Wishes For You

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

May sunshine surround you 
each new day. And 
may smiles and love 
never be far away.
       Catherine Pulsifer






Let your life lightly dance 
on the edges of Time 
like dew on the 
tip of a leaf.
     Rabindranath Tagore




The moon does not fight. 
It attacks no one... 
by its very nature, 
it gently influences. 
What other body could pull 
an entire ocean from 
shore to shore?
   Deng Ming-Dao




The stillness of the night 
and the gentle light of 
the moon are balm 
for the soul.


Even on the 
darkest night, 
the moon gives us 
a glimmer of hope.




What is the difference 
between an alligator
and a crocodile?
and a crocodile?


One you see later
and the other
 after a while!

Can Be A Beautiful Thing

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Magic is not about having a puzzle to solve. It's about creating a moment of awe and astonishment. And that can be a beautiful thing David Blaine


Animals 
teach presence 
we forgot.
Senses sharp, 
hearts pure—
learn from them!





Shine your soul with the same egoless humility as the rainbow and no matter where you go in this world or the next, love will find you, attend you, and bless you. Aberjhani

 By choosing to be 
our most authentic 
and loving self, 
we leave a trail 
of magic 
everywhere we go.

Thing I Value The Most

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world. Robert Louis Stevenson


As I get older, I realize that the thing I value the most is good-heartedness. Alice Walker



Find ecstasy in life: 
the mere sense of living 
is joy enough.
     Emily Dickinson



Sincerity
 makes the very least 
person 
to be of more value 
than the most 
talented hypocrite.
         Charles Spurgeon
                                            



I am still learning.
Michelangelo,
Age 87 in 1562

The fact that I can plant a seed
and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge
and it becomes another's, smile at someone and
receive a smile in return, are to me continual
spiritual exercises. Leo Buscaglia
