"Love Is Chief"

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Queen of Hibiscus seemed wide as a plate!

One should handle

all beings as if they

were mother, father,

brother, sister, child,

 friend, or relative.

    Buddha

What a Full Breath LOOKS like

Breathe deeply, until sweet air extinguishes the burn

of fear in your lungs

and every breath is

a beautiful refusal to

become anything less

than infinite. 

  D. Antoinette Foy

Refreshment Reflections

Love is the greatest

refreshment in life.

    Picasso

The memory of things gone

is important to a jazz musician.

Things like old folks singing

in the moonlight

in the backyard on

a hot night or something

said long ago.

   Louis Armstrong

Things that touch us

 when we are very young 

have a special resonance

 life-long; Even more so

in mature years.

- but the chief of these is love.

 1 Corinthians 13:13

Just A Shoestring

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sublimate or postpone

your true Desires & opinions

long enough, and you

could well lose track

of what You really want,

and of yourself. 

No One Can Steal

Your Joy.

It is in

Your power.

Youth trades pleasure

Till the full moon rise;

Age shares comfort

For they have

become Wise.

Don't play the saxophone.

Let it play you. Charlie Parker

Would love to play WITH a shoestring ANYtime!

You can play a shoestring

if you're sincere.

Smile Down Moon

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If we look at the world

with a love of life,

the world will reveal

its beauty to us.

 Daisaku Ikeda 

Civilization is just

a slow process of

learning to be kind.

  Charles L. Lucas

An ongoing process

 

Matter is not

lacking in magic,

matter is magic.

 Terence McKenna

We awaken in others 

the same attitude 

of mind -

- that we hold 

toward them. 

                      Elbert Hubbard

[Some, you just need to love,

despite how they act,

while you avoid them]

I think that wherever

your journey takes you,

there are new gods

waiting there, with

divine patience -

and laughter.

Lion's Brain

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Myna & African Tulip Tree

Being a light in this world

does not necessarily mean

shining a light on things

of which you disapprove.

A lighthouse turns

and gives light.

That's all that it does,

it makes no judgments.

Judgments arouse anger.

Light rarely does that.

But when light does

bring anger, It is

anger that reveals

the Real Problem.

So be your light.

Be a warm sun

not a spotlight or siren.

Then you will

arouse and participate

in the love that

is still changing

the whole world.

Events Always Current

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Better keep yourself

clean and bright;

you are the window

through which you

must see the world.

         George Bernard Shaw

Life is a partly a

poignant business;

If you have a heart.

But I don't believe

in being armoured*

Choosing empathy

or it's lack decides

who we really are.

I can't help everyone.

I can't educate everyone

but I can care about them.

We are told to laugh

with those who laugh,

and to mourn with

those who mourn.

What does this mean

but to have a heart,

 to CARE!

[I like the tiny photographer in this picture]

Events are always current.

Don't let the temporary

cause you to miss

the enduring!

The ideals 

which have lighted my way, 

and time after time 

have given me new courage 

to face life cheerfully, 

have been Kindness, 

Beauty, and Truth.

                         Albert Einstein

Anti-Fragile

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Some things benefit

from shocks;

they thrive and grow

when exposed to volatility,

randomness, disorder, and

stressors and love adventure,

risk, and uncertainty.

Yet, in spite of the

ubiquity of the phenomenon,

there is no word

for the exact opposite

   of fragile. -

- Let us

call it antifragile.

Antifragility is beyond

resilience or robustness.

The resilient resists shocks

and stays the same;

the antifragile gets better.*

If you get easily bored,

it means that your

BS detector is

functioning properly;

if you forget (some) things,

it means that your mind

knows how to filter;

and if -

you feel sadness,

it means that

you are human.

   Nassim Taleb

Every human being

is an artist,

a freedom being,

called to participate in

transforming and reshaping

the conditions, thinking and

structures that shape and

inform our lives.

Joseph Beuys
