Moment Lasts Surprising

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We are each gifted in a

unique and important way.

It is our privilege and our adventure

to discover our own special light.

A moment lasts

all of a second,

but the memory

lives on forever.

It's surprising how
much of memory
is built around things
unnoticed at the time
Barbara Kingsolver

A common person marvels
at uncommon things.
A wise person marvels
at the commonplace.

asking a shadow to dance. Carl Sandburg

Never Lose

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Never lose an opportunity

of seeing anything beautiful, 

for beauty is God's handwriting.

   Ralph Waldo Emerson

Me and my excavator

I have never been 

especially impressed
 by the heroics of people
 who are convinced they are 
about to change the world. 
I am more awed by those 
who struggle to make
 one small difference 
after another.
  Ellen Goodman

Moon Rise Off North Shore Oahu by Mike Price

As far back as the 19th century,

Jewish storekeepers were virtually

the only Southern merchants who

addressed black customers as

'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' and permitted

them to try on clothing.

    Howard Sachar, 

        Author and professor of Modern History

     at George Washington University.

When we begin to think

about our angels,

they begin to

manifest themselves.

Transform the Destination

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Nothing is stronger than

a small hope that

doesn't give up

Matt Haig

 

The moment one gives 

close attention to 

any thing, even a blade of grass 

it becomes a mysterious, 

awesome, indescribably 

magnificent world 

in itself.

           Henry Miller

 You don't take

a photograph, 

you make it.

         Ansel Adams

The journey transforms
the destination.
Peter Morville

With years and experience comes

a certain understanding of human

frailty as we see our own.

Our last best chance to

wise up, love our neighbor,

and become a human being

before our opportunity is passed.

Honored Guest

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We need to give each other

the space to grow, to be

ourselves, to exercise our diversity.

We need to give each other space so

that we may both give and receive

such beautiful things as ideas,

openness, dignity, joy,

healing, and inclusion. Max De Pree

The sharp thorn often

produces delicate roses.

Ovid

Texture, not volume,

is the key to the wondrous. Anthony Lane

Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes

our abundance. Epicurus

You are not a beggar

at the table of life.

You are the honored guest.

Like A Dragon

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Be kind to yourself so

you can be happy enough

to be kind to the world.

Misha Collins

It's never what you expected

once you get there.

Turkeys know their names,

come when you call, and

are totally affectionate.

They're better than teenagers.

    Elayne Boosler

When turkeys mate

they think of swans.

    Johnny Carson

Confidence is like a dragon

where, for every head cut off,

two more heads grow back.

Not Sheep

There are years that ask questions

 and years that  answer.

 Life and people are complex. A writer as an artist doesn't have the personality of a politician. We don't see the world that simply. Joyce Carol Oates

 Any fool can be happy. It takes real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep. Clive Barker

Rebirth of Hope

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The last of the human freedoms:

to choose one's attitude in

any given set of circumstances. Viktor Frankl

To be endowed with

a generous mind,

this is the best

kind of nobility.

Plato

As I get older... I start to

realize that life ain't half bad.

Each year, I'm amazed

that I'm still alive.

I don't take any of this for

granted, I'm a lucky dude.

Dave Grohl

Ecstasy of reverie. Faery-fervid,

of uncharted seas, glory on which her

galleon might sail, undiscovered countries

of spice and sweetness, Aleister Crowley

12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947

Gratitude can start

as a mental exercise,

something you are doing. But

if you live it long enough,

it becomes something

that is doing you.

My life goal is to remain

grateful, humble, kind and yes

happy, right till the end.
