Some Light

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What we focus on outside

is a reflection of

what we feel inside.

People who have had

little self-reflection

live life in a huge

reality blind spot.

Bryant McGill

An awake heart is

like a sky that pours light.

I try to live in the luminosity of things. Meia Geddes

Remember that your

dominating thoughts attract, 

through a definite law of nature.

Be careful what your

thoughts dwell upon.

 Napoleon Hill

The positive energy and 

love we give to others,

heals our own wounds.

Mom, Can I Drink Your Water?

Every Morning Walk

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Boulders By the Beach

 There’s a thing, and I don’t

know what to term it —

old-age adolescence?

A thing that we’re

going through, that we’ve

never gone through.

It’s like a weird puberty of sorts,

becoming older and having different perspectives on things.

Jeff Bridges,

Age 71, Battled cancer, Hospitalized

with covid, now appearing in

"The Old Man" on American TV.

(Excellent BTW)

I’m an introvert…

I love being by myself,

love being outdoors,

love taking a long walk

with my dogs, and

looking at the trees,

flowers, the sky.

    Audrey Hepburn

Do your little bit of good

where you are; it’s

those little bits of good

put together that

overwhelm the world Desmond Tutu

Sometimes I look back

on my life and

I’m seriously impressed

I am still alive.

     A. Nony Mouse

                     (Me too!)

Don’t let the fear

of what could happen

make nothing happen.

The best bike is

the one you're on, The best road is

the one you're traveling, The best destination is

wherever you're headed, The best time to get there

is whenever you arrive. Foster Kinn

Pixie is pleased that

I've given up motorcycling

after 50+ years.

Half a century with

only minor scrapes, is

more than many

get to enjoy!

Now I'm Walking...

If people stopped looking

for things that offended them

and started looking for things

that inspired them,

what a wonderful world

this would be.

A superb tenor voice,
like a silver trumpet
muffled in silk.
Alec Guinness

Japanese Visitors are Back in Waikiki

Travelers are fantasists,

conjurers, seers - 

  Cynthia Ozick

Ravenala "Traveler's Palm"

Our human compassion binds us

the one to the other -

not in pity or patronizingly,

but as human beings

who have learnt how to

turn our common suffering

into hope for the future.

Nelson Mandela

Me and My Shadow

This worldly life

is like a shadow.

If you try to catch it,

you will never be

able to do so.

If you turn your

back towards it,

it has no choice

but to follow you.

Inside Magic

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The magic is inside you.

There ain't no crystal ball

Dolly Parton

 In this age of fiberglass

I'm searching for a gem. Bob Dylan

I love the whirling

of the dervishes.

I love the beauty

of rare innocence.

You don't need no crystal ball,

Don't fall for a magic wand.

We humans got it all,

we perform the miracles.

Kate Bush

Creativity is allowing yourself

to make mistakes.

Art is knowing

which ones to keep. Scott Adams

Gratitude can transform

common days into thanksgivings,

turn routine jobs into joy, and

change ordinary opportunities

into blessings.

Magic In Action

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Golden Trumpet Tree

The art of knowing

is knowing

what to ignore. Rumi

Desire creates

a starting point.

Without it, no magic

can be put into action. Lawren Leo

You can handle

What Is; But

never tangle with What If.

Art is how we

decorate space,

music is how

we decorate time.

Jean-Michel Basquiat

It takes very, very,

VERY good karma for

a person even to care

about Truth,

wherever it leads.
