Shouted Alive

A  L  O  H  A !
Honolulu 6:08 am
May you live everyday of your life.
      Jonathan Swift












Continue to do good, and 
heaven will come down to you.
    Hawaiian Proverb

Because:                 
You become what 
you think about” 
                    Napoleon Hill








6:54 am












We are the miracle of force and matter 
making itself over into imagination and will. 
Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. 
You for one. Me for another. 
The Universe has shouted itself alive. 
We are one of the shouts.
                                   Ray Bradbury




Thank You!

No Destination

A  L  O  H  A !
Constant Neighbor

Do not pursue what is illusory - 
property and position: all
that is gained at the expense of 
your nerves decade after decade 
and can be confiscated in one fell night. 
Live with a steady superiority over life - 
don't be afraid of misfortune, and 
do not yearn after happiness. . .
            Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn












 Sidewalks more than 100 years old, King St. Honolulu

There's something about arriving in new cities,
 wandering empty streets with no destination.
I dare you to walk where you have not yet walked.
And I dare you to notice.
And that's the point.
Just walk. See.
There's a whole lot of world out there.
I dare you to see it.
                  Charlotte Eriksson














Fort Street

When walking through the 'valley of shadows,' remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.

Thistle & Flower

A  L  O  H  A !
All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle 
and plant a flower wherever 
the flower would grow 
in thought and mind.
                    Abraham Lincoln










Reflect upon your present blessings, 
of which every one has many; 
not on your past misfortunes, 
of which all have some.
       Charles Dickens









When you arise in the morning, 
think of what a precious privilege 
it is to be alive - to breathe, 
to think, to enjoy, to love.
                  Marcus Aurelius

Half Way

A  L  O  H  A !
A well-ordered life is like climbing a tower; 
the view halfway up is better than 
the view from the base, and 
it steadily becomes finer as 
the horizon expands. 
          William Lyon Phelps











"I'm No Angel"
The more we cling to virtues like humility, 
selflessness, modesty, and purity, 
the more beautiful we become - 
not only in His eyes, but also in the eyes 
of others. You can't airbrush that.
               Kylie Bisutti, Model










BUDNAMUJIP Restaurant Link
The most important trip 
you may take in life is 
meeting people half way.

 Look at those Comfort Spirals!

Growth is a spiral process, 
doubling back on itself, 
reassessing and regrouping.

Spiral minds are harder to twist.
