Cordyline fruticosa is an evergreen flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. The plant is of great cultural importance to the traditional animistic religions of Austronesian and Papuan peoples of the Pacific Islands, New Zealand, Island Southeast Asia, and Papua New Guinea. It is also cultivated for food, traditional medicine, and as an ornamental for its variously colored leaves. It is identified by a wide variety of common names, including ti plant, palm lily, cabbage palm.

Pillow Symbol

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every year of my life

I grow more convinced that it

is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and good and dwell as little as possible on the dark and the base. Richard Cecil

Who is the person walking

in front of you on the rain-drenched sidewalk? He is covered with an umbrella, and all you can see is a dark coat and the shoes striking the puddles. And yet this person is the hero of his own life story. He is the love of someone’s life... And then continue on your own way. Vera Nazarian

The way we choose

to see the world creates the

world we see. Barry Neil Kaufman

Oh cat, I'd say, or pray: be-ootiful cat!

Delicious cat! Exquisite cat!

Satiny cat! Cat like a soft owl,

cat with paws like moths, jewelled

cat, miraculous cat!

Cat, cat, cat, cat.

Doris Lessing

How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers... and it doesn't have that dangerous beak. Jack Handy

Unlikely Corners

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Follow the grain in your own wood. Howard Thurman

The good life is a process, 

not a state of being. 

It is a direction 

not a destination.

           Carl Rogers

Losers always find

reasons to be angry.

Winners look for

reasons to understand.

Lunar New Year Ahead!!

Abundance is not 

something we acquire. 

It is something 

we tune into.

             Wayne Dyer

Heaven can be found in

the most unlikely corners.

Silence To Think

A L O H A From Honolulu!

May you delight in today.

May the child in you stir awake for a season

of Wonder and Hope.

You needn't own something to derive pleasure from it. Do you own a sunset, a moment, or a song?

Better than a thousand hollow words,

 is one word that brings peace.

Buddha 

Every piece of the universe,

even the tiniest little snow crystal,

matters somehow.

I have a place in the pattern,

and so do you…

T.A. Barron

Mauna Loa Volcano, Hawaii Island

So much space, such silence,

so much time. To drift.

To think. To let your mind

roam anywhere it pleases.

To dream. Perhaps the

true luxury of our age is not

the piles of goods we endlessly

accumulate, but Time.

Aspects

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Saturday 3 Dec. 2022

Repetition doesn’t really exist. As far as your mind is concerned, nothing happens the same twice, even if in every technical sense, the thing is identical. Your perception is constantly shifting. It doesn’t stay in one place. Brian Eno

The light of eternity gilds everything like morning.

I went to a restaurant that

serves 'breakfast at any time'.

So I ordered French Toast

during the Renaissance.

Steven Wright

You can't get mad at weather because weather's not about you. Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life. Douglas Coupland

 Kindness may be the best
communication tool of all.

Our first Hawaii home was an actual

coffee shack in Captain Cook, Link

above Kealakekua Bay on the west side of

Hawaii Island [the Big Island]. 

We would turn off

the belt highway, and climb

Rabbit Hill through the coffee trees

with four wheel drive.

Above the coffee farm, our

shack was built into the hillside on

poles. We hiked it's jungle path ever day.

We visited erupting Mauna Kea

[Neighbor Maunaloa is erupting

in the news today!]

I describe all this in my Hawaii Novella:

"Aloha Where You Like Go?"

Yesterday I was clever, so

I wanted to change the world.

Today I am wise, so

I am changing myself.

Rumi

Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about. Marilyn Monroe

Build a little fence of trust around today; Fill the space with loving deeds, And therein stay. Mary F. Butts

No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place. Zen Proverb

Your mind will answer most questions if you learn to relax and wait for the answer. William S. Burroughs

By being yourself,

you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before. Edwin Elliot

Smallest Act

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Too often we underestimate

the power of a touch,

a smile, a kind word, a

listening ear, an honest compliment,

or the smallest act of caring,

all of which have the potential

to turn a life around.

Leo F. Buscaglia

Treasure the love you

have received above all.

It will survive long after

your gold and good

health have vanished. Og Mandino

Yesterday is but a dream,

tomorrow but a vision. But

today well lived makes every

yesterday a dream of happiness,

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.

Such is the salutation to the dawn.

   Sanskrit Proverb

There is only one difference

between a madman and me.

The madman thinks he is sane.

I know I am mad.
