Laugh at the Odds

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 We are here to

laugh at the odds,

and live our lives so well

that Death will

tremble to take us. 

       Charles Bukowski

The boat can't cross the river

by paddling on one side.

It should be paddled on

the opposite side as well.

That's called balance. If that

is lost, the boat will flip.

Simplicity is beauty

and beauty is simplicity,

nothing more, nothing less. Oscar Wilde

In the pure, immaculate waters, both the lotus and the

slimy scum are found. Sri Guru Granth Sahib

Survival was my only hope,
success my only revenge.

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 The day you were born 

was the day that God decided 

that the world could not

exist without you. 

   Rabbi Nachman

Big Red

Every fragile beauty, every

perfect forgotten sentence,

you grieve their going away,

but that is not how it is.

Where they come from

never goes dry.

It is an always

flowing spring.

Weather

You can't get mad 

at weather because 

weather's not about you. 

Apply that lesson 

to most other 

aspects of life.

               Douglas Coupland

Bush Face

I felt a positive yearning toward

one bush this afternoon.

There was a match found

for me at last. I fell in love

with a shrub oak.

Light + Paste

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Haters, you only make the light

brighter by your darkness, and

bring allies our way. You fuel our

determination to give everybody's

children a better tomorrow.

Your day is over.

"Cut + paste"

used to involve a blade

and actual paste.

You used your hands,

not a keyboard-

Believe It Or Not!

Plumeria pudica is a species of the genus Plumeria. It has leaves in the

shape of a cobra's hood.

How we perceive our aging process —

how we feel about [our own] aging

— is an important determinant of

physical health, psychological

health and even longevity.

Yoav Bergman,

social psychologist, faculty of social work

at Ashkelon Academic College

Bougainvillea

Peace is not something

you wish for, 

it is something you make, 

something you are, 

something you do, and 

something you give away.

Robert Fulghum

Philosophers & Cats

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The greatness of a person

is measured by the way

they treat the little guy.

Compassion for the weak

is a sign of greatness. 

   Myles Munroe

The sign of intelligent people
is their ability to control
their emotions by the
application of reason. 
      Marya Mannes 

The need to be right
is the sign of a
vulgar mind. 
     Albert Camus

I have studied many philosophers

and many cats. The

wisdom of cats is

infinitely superior. 

    Hippolyte Taine

A Little Life

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Marin Calif

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising

a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth . . . Schopenhauer

Is the spring coming?" he said.

"What is it like?"...

It is the sun shining on the rain

and the rain falling on the sunshine.

   Frances Hodgson Burnett*

A misty morning does not signify a cloudy day. Ancient Proverb

Grandmother used to say: "If everyone in the neighborhood put all their problems

on the front porch we'd all be glad to go home with our own."
