Light Feels Right

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Small lights have
a way of being seen
in a dark world.
Neal A. Maxwell



You don’t have to
be a people-pleaser,
just a people-lover.
Beth Moore






Nothing can dim the
light that shines
from within.
 Maya Angelou






The world is so empty
if one thinks only of
mountains, rivers & cities;
but to know someone who
thinks & feels with us,
& who, though distant,
is close to us in spirit,
this makes the earth for
us an inhabited garden.
Goethe






Daily Work Continues






Only once you’ve [literally]
climbed a mountain in
the rain and cold
can you truly
enjoy your dinner.
Helen Russel



Stars don’t shine
because they want
to be seen.
They shine because
they are stars.
Iggy

Afternoon Aftermath

A L O H A From Honolulu!

in the world doesn’t
compensate for the
inability to notice.
    Elliott Erwitt




One joy scatters
a hundred griefs.
   Chinese proverb






Ahu is a Hawaiian altar,
shrine, or cairn
utilized for spiritual
and ceremonial purposes
in both the past and
the present...
Modern ahu are considered
as authentic as the
ancient structures,
being part of a
living Hawaiian culture that
still continues today.







Honolulu is many dialogues.
Here a 19th century wall
in a city park, and
her 20th century neighbor
enjoy the trees and hushed
traffic from Beretania St.





Age is frequently beautiful,
wisdom appearing like
an aftermath.
Benjamin Disraeli





My life is a roller coaster
on golden wheels;
IT IS NEVER GOING
TO BE PERFECT but
I am glad for
the perfect moments.

Power

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
The dark does not
destroy the light;
it defines it.
It’s our fear of the
dark that casts our joy
into the shadows.
Brene Brown






We lose ourselves
in the things we love.
We find ourselves
there, too.
 Kristin Martz







 I have the opportunity, 
once more to right 
some wrongs, to pray for 
peace, to plant some trees, 
and sing more joyful songs.

Take a walk outside –
it will serve you far more
than pacing around
in your mind.
Rasheed Ogunlaru



Words Have Power.
NEVER say anything
that you do NOT
want to be true.
Immediately contradict a
negative with its opposite.
Repeat positive ideas
That you believe in
and they will
fill your life!
