Their Horses Are Flesh And Not Spirit

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Tolerance, like any aspect of peace,

is forever a work in progress,

never completed, and, if we're

as intelligent as we like to

think we are,

never abandoned.

Octavia E. Butler

I long, as does

every human being,

to be at home

wherever I find myself.

Maya Angelou

I respect everybody,

but at the same time,

I carry myself with an aura

that demands respect, too.

Lil' Kim

The saddest aspect

of life right now is that

science gathers knowledge

faster than society

gathers wisdom.

Isaac Asimov

I'm not playing a role.

I'm being myself,

whatever the hell

that is.

Arboretum of Exotic Ideas

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Those who are willing to

be vulnerable move

among the mysteries.

Theodore Roethke

Spathoglottis plicata, commonly known as the Philippine ground orchid is an evergreen, terrestrial plant with crowded pseudobulbs, three or four large, pleated leaves and up to forty resupinate, pink to purple flowers. Wikipedia

A friend is someone

who knows the song

in your heart, and

can sing it back to you

when you have forgotten

the words.

Donna Roberts

Ideas are like bananas.

That bananas grow only

in tropical regions doesn't

make them any less

delicious in Scandinavia.

Eric Weiner

What is the pattern

that connects the crab

to the lobster and the

primrose to the orchid,

and all of them to me,

and me to you?

Gregory Bateson

Let's worry less, listen more,

calmly care deeply,

yet weightless as feathers.

New ways emerging.

I want to see what they are.

Don't You?

Be gentle with yourself.

And with all others.

Arguments are SO old way,

Before Times; Spent.

Flutter by gently.

This moment reeks of Eternity,

Yet flies at the speed of a blink.

Perfect Flaws

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every really good book

was written a little

at a time, over time,

in tremendous

confusion and doubt.

Richard Bausch

Creation was not finished

till the poet came to

interpret, and so

complete it.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Green-Stravaganza!

Life is incomplete without

understanding the language of

the beauty of the flowers, rocks, fine mountain lines, autumn leaves, clouds, stars and galaxies in the deep sky, music of the early birds, sunshine into the trees, and movements of the butterflies. -

- The extravaganza

of nature ignites

the light that

you have inside.

Amit Ray

Perfect Paws

I have too many flaws

to be perfect. But I have

too many blessings

to be ungrateful!

Holds You Up

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The longer you hang in there,

the greater the chance that

something will happen

in your favor. No matter

how hard it seems,

the longer you persist,

the more likely your success.

Jack Canfield

God endorses the confusion

and even outrage that

we feel when

mysterious things happen.

Philip Yancey

Over the years, I've learned

that if you can just hang in there

and, regardless of what's

presented to you, take it

as a challenge and try to

bring in something fresh,

then it works.

Adam West

When you rest, you catch your breath

and it holds you up,

like water wings…

Anne Lamott

Your commitment to

your wellness is

part of the revolution.

Danielle LaPorte
