Way Out Or So

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Angel Chorus Under Heaven's Dome

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church, I keep it staying at Home - With a bobolink for a Chorister, And an Orchard, for a Dome. Emily Dickinson, 



Walk on a rainbow trail; 
walk on a trail of song, and
all about you will be beauty.
 There is a way out
of every dark mist, 
over a rainbow trail.
Andra Davis





Whether you know it
or you don’t, whether 
you accept it or not,
everything you do
is about the reclamation
of your own ‘soul’
  Oli Anderson





 Garden fairies come at dawn,
Bless the flowers 
then they're gone
 Anonymous
 



The first 50 years 
of childhood
are the hardest.

True Dreams

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Music fathoms the sky. Charles Baudelaire



Look at the land
and it's creatures
with loving eyes, and
you will see the ancient
faces looking back.



Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. Groucho Marx



Keep true to the dreams of your youth. Friedrich von Schiller

Once Deeply Knew

A L O H A From Honolulu!
We are the boat, we are the sea,
I sail in you, you sail in me.
Lorre Wyatt



Every time we remember
to say "thank you," we
experience nothing less
than heaven on earth. Sarah Ban Breathnach





Children are messengers
to us from a world we
once deeply knew.
Alice Miller



I travel not to go anywhere,
but to go. I travel
for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.
Robert Louis Stevenson


Stevenson was a great vagabond,
who wandered "rough" by
"throwing feet" as a youth,
gaining the voice & view that
fed his popular writing. He was
a great champion of Polynesia
later, where he supped with
chiefs and royals.





A friend is a gift
you give yourself.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Self Peace

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Moopiter - Moon & Jupiter

The wise heart resembles a mirror, reflecting everything without becoming sullied. Confucious



Elvis

One can be instructed in society,
one is inspired only in solitude.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


To heal mine aching moods, Give me God's virgin woods. Clinton Scollard


When you make peace
with yourself, you make
peace with the world.
Maha Ghosananda



Walking down the road last night,
I passed an apple pie, an
ice cream sundae, and
a lemon cheesecake. I thought, "the streets are
strangely deserted tonight."

Perfection

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Our main task in life 
is to give birth to 
oneself, 
to become 
what one potentially is.
   Erich Fromm




The sum of this world's 
imperfections is a 
greater perfection.






The world is round;
it has no point.
 Adrienne E. Gusoff





Imperfection is in some sort
essential to all that
we know in life.
  John Ruskin




The Internet is just a
world passing around
notes in a classroom.
Jon Stewart

Importance

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Morning Moon

Grief is the price
we pay for love.
Queen Elizabeth II



Pixie and I were taking in the pinkness
of the morning and her moon
when a screeching cloud of
ring-neck parakeets flew by.
Their long parrot tails, and
blur of wings, created
this photo.


Spotted 20 minutes later; Yes! That Was Us!

Let your heart soar
as high as it will. A.W. Tozer



It gives us a feeling of importance
to be busy and concerned
about many things, but
really it is a dereliction of our
higher duties to live that way.


Pixie & Penguins

Once a penguin finds
its perfect other penguin,
they stay together
pretty much forever.

Joy Factor

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Full Moon by Cynthia Tucker Naihe

Who has seen the rising
moon break out of
the clouds at midnight
has been present
like an archangel at
the creation of light
and of the world.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
(1803–1882)





If, instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give George MacDonald 



All the windows of my heart
I open to the day.     
 John Greenleaf Whittier






Joy is one of the seven
factors of enlightenment.
Buddhist teachings





Happiness, not in another place but this place, not for another hour, but this hour. Walt Whitman
