Breadfruit and Bedspreads

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
When you come out
of the storm you
won't be the same person
that walked in.
That's what the storm
is all about. Haruki Murakami

Breadfruit, (Artocarpus altilis),
tree of the mulberry family
(Moraceae)
and its large fruits that are a
staple food of the South Pacific
and other tropical areas.
Breadfruit contains considerable
amounts of starch and is seldom
eaten raw. It may be roasted, baked,
boiled, fried, or dried and
ground into flour.










The breadfruit is a superb tree,
about 60 feet high, with
deep green, shining leaves,
a foot broad, sharply and
symmetrically cut, worthy,
from their exceeding beauty
of form, to take the place of the
acanthus in architectural ornament,
and throwing their pale green
fruit into delicate contrast.

Be A Beacon NOT Be A Con

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What sunshine is to flowers,
smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles,
to be sure; but scattered
along life's pathway,
the good they do
is inconceivable.
Joseph Addison



Treat people like mirrors 
and watch how you 
reflect in their eyes.
                  Nnamdi G. Osuagwu





Because your heart
is so beautiful,
everything looks
beautiful to you.
           Japanese proverb

















Look at the bright side of life
and the bright side will
look at you.
The reflections we send
out always return.

It all depends on

have to do until you
can get silly again.

Make Your Mind an Ocean

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Morning Circle
I'm not buying the
doom and gloom.
I'm investing in faith,
hope and love. Jon Gordon



Is there a place
you can go
to break away
for a little while?
If you haven't yet
built your tree house, it's
never too late to start.
   Gina Greenlee



Birds chirping around you
is a beautiful realization that
life in incredibly good.
Let this sound be
gentle break
in your routine.
      Hiral Nagda












When your mind is narrow, 
small things agitate
you very easily. 
Make your mind
an ocean.
 Lama Yeshe




O radiant Dark!
O darkly fostered ray!
Thou hast a joy too
deep for shallow Day.
  George Eliot








After all this time
of listening to people
talk with masks on,
I finally understand
what Charlie Brown's
teacher was saying!
