Flashes

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Everywhere across
whatever sorrows of
which our life is woven,
some radiant joy will
gaily flash past.
Nikolai Gogol


You're not in this life for
things to go well.
You're in this life to be
your deepest heart in all
that goes well and in
all that doesn't. John de Ruiter



Everyone has an invisible sign
hanging from their neck saying,
'Make me feel important.'
Never forget this...
    Mary Kay Ash




Wit is the appearance, the
external flash of imagination.
Thus its divinity, and the
witty character of mysticism.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel





Mirth is like
a flash of lightning,
that breaks through
a gloom of clouds,
and glitters for a moment;
cheerfulness keeps up a kind
of daylight in the mind, and
fills it with a steady and
perpetual serenity.
  Joseph Addison



Politeness is the art
of choosing among
your thoughts.
 Madame De Stael

Rainbow Season

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Rainbows are the perfect combination of light, water droplets, and
appreciation!



Ipomoea obscura leaf
the obscure morning glory
emerging through monstera



Carry so much love in your heart that there's no room left for hatred. Rithvik Singh




Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain —
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today.
   Edgar Allan Poe





There are two means
of refuge from the
misery of life - music
and cats.
Albert Einstein

You Distant Friends

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The most important thing is to enjoy your life —to be happy— it's all that matters. Audrey Hepburn




Still round the corner
there may wait,
A new road
or a secret gate.
J. R. R. Tolkien 



Luminous beings are we,
not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Yoda



When I was young
I admired clever people,
Now that I am old,
 I admire kind people.
 Abraham Joshua Heschel 




Nothing makes the earth 
seem so spacious 
as to have friends 
at a distance; they make 
the latitudes and longitudes. 
Henry David Thoreau

Eerie Beauty of October

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Great leaders

invite us on a journey




When you see
a fork in the road
take it!
Yogi Berra







  
-There's a kind of eerie
beauty to your profile.
Yasunari Kawabata



A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit
and a violin; what else
does a person need
to be happy.
Einstein



To live an extraordinary life
you'll have to go through
adversity to become
an extraordinary person.
The key is to see your
challenges as opportunities.
Use them to get better,
not bitter. Remember,
the best is yet to come!
Jon Gordon

With a good friend
the hours are short.
Basque proverb 



 Take heart. If you are alive today, You are a warrior
of the soul. 




I will wear no label
but my name




Sometimes in the morning,
when it's a good surf,
I go out there,
and I don't feel like
it's a bad world.
Kary Mullis


When the bee
comes to your house,
let her have beer;
you may want to visit the
bee's house some day.
   Congo Proverb



I just have one question for you.
Are you a stronger, better
person than you were
back in 2015?
We have all had
opportunities to clarify
our behaviours and beliefs.
What do YOU think?

Must Free

A L O H A From Honolulu!


We must free ourselves of
the hope that the sea
will ever rest.
We must learn to
sail in high winds.
    Aristotle Onassis



The Passionate Lovers *

When we are together,
I can see Heaven
from here!






When I forget how
talented God is,
I look to the sea.
 Whoopi Goldberg






On this path let the
heart be your guide.
Rumi



Me and my shadow

A silly goose is just
a swan in disguise. 






Being kind to yourself isn't
about ignoring your weaknesses.
It's about giving yourself
permission to learn
from your mistakes.
We grow by embracing
shortcomings, not
punishing them.
      Adam Grant

Observing Together

A L O H A From Honolulu!


The right time is any time that one is still so
lucky as to have. Henry James












Shell Ginger

Nurture your mind
with Great Thoughts.
  Disraeli



You don't drown by
falling in the water;
you drown by
staying there. Edwin Louis Cole




Life Grants Us The Power To Be Anything We Want To Be. Why do so many of us want to be angry know-it-alls?
