Through a Fence Brightly

A  L  O  H  A !

 Kimono Lady Waikiki

“Build a little fence of trust around today; 
Fill the space with loving deeds, 
And therein stay. -

- Look not through the sheltering bars 

Upon tomorrow; 

God will help thee bear what comes 

of joy and sorrow.”

" The real voyage 

of discovery

Angel Said

A  L  O  H  A !

  " Nothing is 

yours permanently, 

so you better enjoy it 

while it's happening. " 

                       Joan Rivers

" Contentment

which is temporary 

endures. "

Speak, 

the Angel told me. 

So I did, 

thinking to share my 

"treasures" of insight 

with the world. 

But what I found 

was even better: 

I connected with 

YOU, 

sharing YOUR

 treasures with 

me! 

In finding your wisdom, 

I recognize my own.

We are our own

 best teachers!

Yay Bloggers!

YaY YOU & Me!

You can't control 
your thoughts - 
just your response to them. 
Fortunately, 
that is where 
all the power lies.

Hawaiian Sunset Secret of Seconds

A  L  O  H  A !

"Almost nothing

 need be said 

when you have eyes." 

                         Tarjei Vesaas

" It is our choices 

that show us 

what we truly are, 

far more 

than our abilities. "

                              J.K. Rowling 

“A large drop of sun

 lingered on the horizon -

 and then dripped over 

and was gone,

and the sky 

was brilliant over the spot 

where it had gone, 

and a torn cloud, 

like a bloody rag, 

hung over the spot of its going.

 And dusk crept over the sky 

from the eastern horizon, 

and darkness crept 

over the land 

from the east.” 

 John Steinbeck, 

The Grapes of Wrath

Time
is an amazing thing.
Feels like movement
but is really one
NOW
after another.

When you pause
and occupy the moment
a spark of REAL
jumps the gap
that you left.

Wait,
Allow an Angel
to pass.
Then what sinks
and what arises
over your horizon
will illuminate your
heart,
as well as those
of others.

Thank YOU

for Shining Here

with Us!
