Lure The Senses

A   L   O   H   A  !
Photography is a small voice, 

at best, but sometimes 

one photograph, or 

a group of them, can 

lure our sense 

of awareness. 

  W Eugene Smith










Mural Car OR Car Mural?
Everywhere is within 

walking distance if 

you have the time. 

 Steven Wright











Every time I stand 

before a beautiful beach, 

its waves seem to 

whisper to me: 

If you choose the simple 

things and find joy in 

nature's simple treasures, 

life and living need 

not be so hard.      


Psyche Roxas-Mendoza











My life is like a 

stroll on the beach... 

as near to the edge 

as I can go.      


Henry David Thoreau










Few things in the world 

are more powerful than 

a positive push, a smile, 

a word of optimism 

and hope, a 'you can do it' 

when things are tough.

Robert M. Devos

Listening to the Feet of the Wind

A  L  O  H  A !
 To be endowed with 

a generous mind,

 this is the best 

kind of nobility.

            Plato











Some moments drift 

and some moments 

make us drift!

     Avijeet Dad














I close my eyes, 

then I drift away,

into the magic night 

I softly say. A silent prayer, 

like dreamers do, then 

I fall asleep to dream 

my dreams of you. 

            Roy Orbison










At two o'clock in the morning, 

if you open your window 

and listen, You will hear 

the feet of the Wind that 

is going to call the sun. 

And the trees in the Shadow 

rustle and the trees in 

the moonlight glisten, And 

though it is deep, dark night, 

you feel that the night is done.

           Rudyard Kipling












We keep drifting 

till we see light

Seldom do we realize 

that the light 

was always there!

      Avijeet Das

Escape Plans

A   L   O   H   A !

For intelligent people, 

action often means 

escape from thought, but 

it is a reasonable and 

a wise escape.     

   Andre Maurois


















Escapism isn't good or bad in itself. 

What is important is what

you are escaping from and 

where you are escaping to.     

Terry Pratchett














Happiness is not 

something ready made.

 It comes from 

your own actions.

     Dalai Lama



















Think you're escaping 

and run into yourself. 

Longest way round is 

the shortest way home.     

   James Joyce











An identity would seem 

to be arrived at by the way 

in which the person faces 

and uses his experience.  

James Baldwin



Hey!
We Dig YOU!

Masked Smiles

A  L  O  H  A !
Kindness is an inner desire 

that makes us want to do 

good things even if we do not 

get anything in return. It is 

the joy of our life to do them. 

When we do good things 

from this inner desire,

there is kindness in 

everything we think, 

say, want, and do.

    Emanuel Swedenborg











There is life in a kindly reply.
Ua ola no i ka pane a ke aloha
 Hawaiian saying










Heaven is not located on high, 

but where the good of love is, 

and this resides within a person, 

wherever he or she might be.

Emanuel Swedenborg












I was always taught to 

respect my elders and I've 

now reached the age when I

don't have anybody to respect.

George Burns
















How do we reassure with a smile
while wearing a mask?

Muffled, words must be shouted
 seemingly dangerous with aerosols.

Yet, something is ALWAYS communicated.

You might enjoy looking at
this recent study showing
that even with masks
smiles are recognized
and gratefully received!

New Is Always Unfamiliar

A  L  O  H  A !
You are free to choose, 

but you are not free to 

alter the consequences 

of your decisions.

       Ezra Taft Benson














A genuine leader is not 

a searcher for consensus 

but a molder of consensus. 

Martin Luther King Jr













An unfamiliar city is a fine thing. 

That's the time and place when 

you can suppose that all the 

people you meet are nice. 

It's dream time.

   Louis-Ferdinand Céline












Birds are a miracle because 

they prove to us there is a 

finer, simpler state of being 

which we may strive to attain.     

Douglas Coupland













Manu O Ku Link

Official Bird of Honolulu City & County

Our birthdays are feathers 

in the broad wing of time.

   Jean Paul Richter














Every moment is a golden one 

for those who have the vision

to recognize it as such. 

Henry Miller





Love You,
