If The World Could Understand

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Nothing wrong with tears.
They polish your soul.

It is by going down into

the abyss that we recover

the treasures of life.

Where you stumble,

there lies your treasure.

The very cave you are afraid

to enter turns out to be the

source of what you are looking for.
Joseph Campbell

Every person is unique

and autonomous and

actually, considered independently,

the greatest artwork of all time. Thomas Bernhard

Your face is a billboard

advertising your

philosophy of life!

  Barbara Johnson

If the world could only

understand Aloha,

what a beautiful place

it would be Ed Naleilehua Lindsey

Such a shame:
The emptiest minds
make the most noise!

Happy Chinese New Year From Honolulu!

You May Think

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You may think that you

are completely insignificant

in this world. But someone drinks coffee

from the favorite cup

that you gave them. Someone heard a song

on the radio that

reminded them of you.

Someone read the book

that you recommended, and

plunged headfirst into it. Someone smiled after a

hard day of work, because

they remembered the joke

that you told them today.

Someone loves themselves

a little bit more, because

you gave them a compliment.

Never think that you have

no influence whatsoever.

Your touch, word and good

deed which you leave behind

cannot be erased. Anonymous 

Happy Year of the Cat!     Link

I hope that in the new year

all people and all animals

are healthy and have

good luck and success!

Something You Remember

A L O H A From Honolulu!

something you get, it's

something you remember.

upside down does not

make you original. Franz Grillparzer

all thoughts

which weaken you

Paradise is a world

Part Of That Plan

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sunrise

Life has a much bigger plan

for you. Happiness is

part of that plan.

Health is part of that plan.

Stability is part of that plan.

Constant struggle is not.
Kris Carr

A sunset is the sun’s

fiery kiss to the night. Crystal Woods

Just believe in yourself.

Even if you don't,

pretend that you do and,

at some point, you will.

Venus Williams

1992

Someday, everything will

make perfect sense. So

for now, laugh at the confusion,

smile through the tears, be

strong and keep reminding yourself

that everything happens

for a reason.

   John Mayer

Some day after we have

mastered the winds,

the waves and gravity,

we will harness for God

the energies of love; and

then for a second time

in the history of the world,

humans will have discovered fire. Teilhard de Chardin 

Who Shall I Be Today

The thing about smart people

is that they seem like

crazy people to dumb people. Stephen Hawking

Enchanted intangibility

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Women are our most

miraculous muse, an

enchanted intangibility

that encourages all art.

CeeLo Green

And muse on Nature

with a poet's eye.

This is my favorite

time of the day.

Light and dark touch

I used to wish dusk would

last longer, but its quickness

seems to add to

making it special. Regina McBride

A Garden Is A Private World

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The secret of the mountain is that

the mountains simply exist,

as I do myself: the mountains

exist simply, which I do not.

The mountains have no "meaning,"

they are meaning;

the mountains are. Peter Matthiessen

A garden is a private world

or it is nothing.
