Make Courtesy Awesome Again

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Courtesy should be

a continuous action,

not something to be

turned on and off

like a faucet.

   Anonymous

These wild chickens have laid their egg atop a utility box!

Courtesies of a small

and trivial character

are the ones which

strike deepest in the

grateful and

appreciating heart.

  Henry Clay

I often painted

fragments of things

because it seemed to

make my statement

as well as or better

than the whole could.....

When you take a

flower in your hand

and really look at it,

it’s your world

for the moment.

I want to give that

world to someone else....

...Most people in the city

rush around so,

they have no time

to look at a flower.

I want them

to see it

whether they

want to or not.

     Georgia O'Keeffe

When music and courtesy

are better understood

and appreciated,

there will be no war.

   Confucius

I wish people

were all trees...

I think I could

enjoy them then.
 Georgia O'Keeffe

Better to illuminate

than merely to shine

Thomas Aquinas

Maturity is peacefully

disagreeing without

thinking the other person

is terrible or believing all

of their other views must

be wrong too...

...processing different

perspectives without

ego or combativeness

is a real superpower.

Yung Pueblo

You are no bigger

than the things

that annoy you.

           Jerry Bundsen

Ego loves to condemn;

peace affirms itself

without judgment.

Another Day!

Sometimes the darkest

challenges, the

most difficult lessons,

hold the greatest

gems of light.

After The Storm, Rainbow Cake

A L O H A From Honolulu!

After the rain, the

sun will reappear.

There is life.

After the pain, the

joy will still be here.

    Walt Disney

After a day of cloud

and wind and rain

Sometimes the setting

sun breaks out again,

And touching all the

darksome woods with light,

Smiles on the fields

until they laugh and sing,

Then like a ruby

from the horizon's ring,

Drops down into

the night. 

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Only rainbows after rain ....

The sun will always

come again.

   Andy Grammer

There, about a dozen times

during the day, the wind

drives over the sky

the swollen clouds,

which water the earth

copiously, after which

the sun shines brightly,

as if freshly bathed,

and floods with a

golden luster the rocks,

the river, the trees,

and the entire jungle.

   Henryk Sienkiewicz

Growing up, I heard

a lot about strength.

My dad -

a Holocaust survivor -

embodied it, though he

would never say that

about himself.

Not only did he survive

one of the most horrific

events in history, but

he never lost hope

along the way,

crediting acts

of kindness with

keeping him alive.

   Daniel Lubetzky

 Love comforeth like

sunshine after rain,

Love's gentle spring

doth always

fresh remain;

Shakespeare

 My soul was like a

summer evening,

after a heavy fall of rain,

when the drops are yet

glistening on the trees

in the last rays of

the down-going sun...

 George MacDonald

March 26:

Hawaii has dropped the

Mask Mandate,

[last US State to do so]

as well as pre-travel

covid testing for visitors.

Today felt different.

Hope breathed.

After tense months,

people seem relaxed.

Foreign languages are

heard once more

in Waikiki.

My mask will continue

to travel with me,

and it will be some time

before I dine publicly indoors.

Slow & Steady.

Celebrate EVERY win!

Love You,

Greatest Posession

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Of all ills

that one endures,

hope is a cheap

and universal cure.

Abraham Cowley

Sarge in the barbershop window

Stop the flow

of your words.

Open the window

of your heart and

let the spirit speak.

  Rumi

The greatest possession

is Self-possession.

Ethel Mumford 

The way we see

the problem is

the problem.

Stephen R. Covey

Let the darkest times

reveal the brightest you! Somya Kedia

Why escape yourself

when you are so beautiful

get closer to your shine.

Happy Stance

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Everybody born comes

from the Creator

trailing wisps of glory.

Maya Angelou

 There is a continuous

creating going on.

This energy is pouring

into every cell of

our being right now,

every board and brick

of the buildings

we sit in, every

grain of sand and

wisp of wind.

   Joseph Campbell

An altar is like

an airport where

spirits take off

and land.

Steven Chuks 

What a strange thing!

To be alive

beneath cherry blossoms.

Kobayashi Issa

Let us find

inner freedom

in each lucky moment

that we encounter,

like a sun-basking butterfly

that finds peace on a

cherry blossom petal.

Erik Pevernagie

Did you see the small lizard

on the window sill?

I didn't, till seeing the photo later!

A Happy-Stance!

Never stay up on

the barren heights

of cleverness, but

come down into the

green valleys

of silliness. Wittgenstein
