" Never be in a hurry; 
do everything quietly 
and in a calm spirit. 
Do not lose your 
inner peace for 
anything whatsoever, 
even if your 
whole world 
seems upset. "
             Saint Francis de Sales

I'm working on it,
How about You?
Just making it
a goal
clarifies things
I think.

Weak Tea Tolerance

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!
“Tolerance means 
excusing the mistakes 
others make. -













- Tact means 
not noticing them. ”
                      Arthur Schnitzler















The only clean, orderly,
mistake-free place
is un-populated.
How long
would you be
Happy there?

I ask myself,
all the time. . .

Glad to see
You!

One awesome thing about Eeyore

A  L  O  H  A !

"One awesome thing 
about Eeyore 
is that even though he is 
basically clinically depressed, 
he still gets invited 
to participate in adventures 
and shenanigans with 
all of his friends 
and they never expect him 
to pretend to feel happy, 
they just love him anyway,
 they never leave him
 behind or 
ask him to change."

you can't buy happiness 
forgot little puppies. ”

" Everything I know

And I Went Into A Dream

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu !

Something about this building was whispering in my
subconscious, trying to get my attention.

" If the doors of perception 
were cleansed 
every thing would appear
 to man as it is, 
Infinite. 
For man has 
closed himself up,
 till he sees all things
 thro' narrow chinks 
of his cavern. "
                 William Blake 












The Sun was using one particular spot to refract & reflect 
Red, Yellow, Green!


“ You can find pictures 
anywhere. It's simply a matter 
of noticing things 
and organizing them. 
You just have to care 
about what's around you. . . .”
                             Elliott Erwitt










Suddenly, the solid, normal 
surface 
of the morning opened up,
 revealing facets of 
beauty all around. . .













. . . And I fell into a dream














“Reverie is not 
a mind vacuum. 











- It is rather 
the gift of
 an hour which 
knows 
the plenitude of the soul.”
                       Gaston Bachelard

" Spring is 
God's way of 
saying, 
'One more time!'
                          Robert Orben

Even here
in the subtropics
Spring
is a new Thing,
a smell, some
different light
a breeze,
a ZING!

I'm a little drunk
on Spring,
the very idea 
of it,
the shredded
coconut
and chocolate bunnies 
of it too!

How about You?
