Higher Than the Ocean

A  L  O  H  A !
A thousand disappointments 
in the past 
cannot equal the
 power of one 
positive action 
right now. 
Go ahead & go for it. "

The Shadow of Your Hurry

A  L  O  H  A - Means I Welcome the Breath of LIFE You Bring!
The Shadow of Your Smile by Astrud Gilberto on Grooveshark
“ We who are so lucky 
as to be born into 
the light—
who see it every day 
and never think about it, 
we’re blessed. 
We could have been born
shadow souls 
who live and die 
in crimson darkness,” 
                          L. J. Smith
           









“ Being in a hurry. 
Getting to the next thing 
without fully entering 
the thing in front of me. 
I cannot think 
of a single advantage 
I've ever gained 
from being in a hurry. -











 " - But a thousand broken 
and missed things, 
tens of thousands, 
lie in the wake 
of all the rushing.... 








" -Through all that haste
 I thought 
I was making up
 time. -








"- It turns out
 I was throwing it away. ” 
            Ann Voskamp

Time shared with YOU-

preparing this post,
imagining if it will speak,
then reading YOUR comments

- Are among the BEST
moments in my day.

And our Days
ARE our Life.

Thank YOU, Companion.

Labor Day Shout

A  L  O  H  A !
  " Love and work 
are the cornerstones 
of our humanness. "
                                Freud











 “No one 
who does good work 
will ever come 
to a bad end, 
either here
 or in the world to come” 
                      The Bhagavad Gita














Na ke kanaka mahi'ai ka imu o nui. 

"The well-filled oven 
belongs to him 
who tills the soil." 
 Work 
brings abundance
                   Hawaiian Proverb














" Do not take advantage 
of a hired worker who is
 poor and needy, 
whether like you,
 or a foreigner 
residing in your town. "
        Deuteronomy 24:14


(})

You & me-

All of us work

either for pay,
or because
it is who we are.

Today in the USA
we celebrate Workers
in a time
when $Capitol$
is in the VIP cue 
everywhere,
but humans

seeking work
are illegal
if they cross over.

You & I
we value people
and we value
their contributions,
whether
"like us"
or foreigners
in our midst.

Thank YOU
for being
One Of Us
Humans!

I'm proud to share
the work
of healing the world
with You

Mural Mundane

A  L  O  H  A !
Bac Nam restaurant here in Honolulu.
This mural is kinda hard to see. 
The sidewalk is too narrow. 
From across the street, trees obscure.
Click to see the whole pic







Click to see the best view I could get. 
Seems to be a surreal tropic landscape
