Let's GO -

" Worry is a misuse 
of imagination. "

Dan Zadra











“ Truth is a gem 
that is found at
 a great depth; 
whilst on the surface
 of the world
 all things 
are weighed by the 
false scale 
of custom. ”

 Byron







“Don’t read into it. 
If there is 
something 
to be told, 
it will be.” 

Rakishi








" Being Happy
NEVER goes out
of style. "

LilyPulitzer











" Teach your children
 POETRY;
it opens the mind,
 lends grace
 to wisdom. . ."

Walter Scott

 Oh How Lovely the Jacaranda Blossoming in April, Waikiki


“The speech of God’s 

beautiful woman is a 

fountain of life to 

those around her.” 

 Elizabeth George

The Treasures of the Proverbs 31 











 Everyone Loves Sporting Water. Some Even Looked Up

“ Some people drink 
from the fountain of knowledge, 
others just gargle.”


 Dr. Robert Anthony












“ The hardest of all 
is learning to be 
a well of affection,
 and not a fountain,
 to show them 
that we love them,
 not when 
we feel like it, 
but when they do. ”

 Nan Fairbrother











“ The child-soul 
is an ever-bubbling fountain
 in the world of humanity. ”

 Friedrich Froebel

is a fountain 
of unspoken words,
the universe is
 a womb 
of wonder weird
 worlds.”

The Guiding Life

A   L   O   H   A  !
"  To offer no resistance to life 
is to be in a state of grace, 
ease, and  lightness, "

Eckhart Tolle












" This City now doth,
 like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; 
silent, bare "

William Wordsworth











" If 
you clean the floor
 with love, 
you have done
an invisible painting. "

Osho







 Life is always guiding us. 

First it intimates, 
drawing our attention 
to what we need to know.

 If we don't notice, 
Life clears it's throat. 

If we still don't heed, 
Life taps us on the shoulder; 

All before 
Life punches us 
in the face!

 Yet we like to 
complain 
how random 
and scary
 Life is -

When it's been
guiding us
all along.

Thanks for visiting!

A Friend Like That

A   L   O   H   A  !
" When you judge another, 
you do not define them, 
you define yourself. "

Wayne W. Dyer 








" Those whom 
the gods love 
grow young. "

Oscar Wilde






" Look back, and smile on perils past. "

Walter Scott









"I talk to him when I'm lonesome like, 
And I'm sure he understands. 
When he looks at me so attentively, 
And gently licks my hands, 
Then he rubs his nose 
on my tailored clothes,
 But I never say naught thereat. 
For the good Lord knows
 I can buy more clothes, 
But never a friend 
like that." 

W. Dayton Wedgefarth

Good Fences Honolulu

I love the snug, sweet 
little single-walled
 bungalows of Honolulu.

“A woman's dress 
should be like 
a barbed-wire fence: 
serving its purpose 
without 
obstructing the view.”

 Sophia Loren

Creative Blocks

A   L   O   H   A  !
Bud, Budding, Blossoming,
Scattering. . .



" Henceforth 
I ask not 
good fortune. 
I myself am 
good fortune. "


Walt Whitman









" Hello Lamp post, 
watcha knowing?
I come to watch
your flowers growing
Looking for fun
and feeling Groovy "

Paul Simon


















" If you love 
the labour of your trade, 
apart from any 
question of success 
or fame, 
the gods have called you. "


Robert Louis Stevenson

Like everyone else
I used to complain
of writer's block.

Now I understand:
creative work
takes the time
it needs,

IF you let it.

We can't push the river
or go against the flow.

[ calling it 'work ethic' ]

and truly birth the 
Real Thing
struggling to be
 born. *

I understand that
ALL 
important creative work
does not occur
at the keyboard,
easel, or view finder.


Life
is all the time
You Need.

* "Words of truth ARE paradoxical"
Lao Tzu is right.

The art of writing
is the art of applying
your bottom
to the seat
in front of the Keyboard.

If you would BE a writer:
Write. Your life
(if you are lucky) 
will become a
writer's life.

" If you wish to be a writer; write! "

Epictetus, 
Born Year 55
