Showing Spring

The presence of fools,

makes wise people

stand out.

 Japanese Saying

Hibiscus High

Generous people

live abundantly;

Misers are

never satisfied.

Pagoda Haircut

To control the mind is

like trying to control

a drunken monkey

that has been bitten

by a scorpion.

    Hindu Saying

When I was young

I would see an old lady.

Today I see a

fellow survivor.

Better my own cottage

than the palace of another. Wisdom of the Welsh

Kind Wisdom

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Buddhism teaches that joy

and happiness arise

from letting go.

There are things you've been

hanging on to that really

are not useful and deprive

you of your freedom. Find

the courage to let them go. Thich Nhat Hanh

Hong Kong Orchid Tree

Kids know many things that

ultimately they forget in

the busyness of growing up.

Like we can enjoy

without possessing.

Wherever there is

a human being,

there is an

opportunity for a kindness.

Seneca

Giant  Taro

Every storm runs out of rain.

Maya Angelou

Appreciation is

Wisdom & Kindness

The Best Often

A L O H A From Honolulu!

True wisdom lies in gathering the precious things out of each day as it goes by. E.S. Boutons

A single dream can

change your entire

perspective on the world. Michael Bassey Johnson

There's this tendency to be held in great esteem if you are judgmental. A sort of moral policing, being opinionated. What right has one to act like judges? What right has one to police another? Mohanlal

Only the one who isn’t rowing
has time to rock the boat.
Jean-Paul Sartre

Right here right now

is the best moment

of the day!

[Repeat Often]

Some people need a red carpet

rolled out in front of them

in order to walk

forward into friendship.

They can’t see the tiny

outstretched hands all around them,

everywhere, like leaves on trees.

Miranda July

From The Inside Outward

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I am still determined to be

cheerful and happy, in whatever

situation I may be; for I have

also learned from experience that

the greater part of our happiness

or misery depends upon our

dispositions, and not

upon our circumstances.

Martha Washington

The truth is ultimately

very simple.

Lies grow in complication

until they break down

The goal of life is rapture.

Joseph Campbell

Greatness isn't achieved by worrying

what everyone thinks of you.

Don't look outside. The

praise, criticism, expectations;

it's all just noise. Look inside

to your heart and soul

and do your thing.

Do it with love

and create greatness

from the inside out.

   Jon Gordon 

Sunshine on my shoulders

makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes

can make me cry
Sunshine on the water

looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always

makes me high
John Denver, Michael C. Taylor,
Richard L. Kniss

Pausing By

A L O H A From Honolulu!

There is a difference between:

Rushing through, passing through, and pausing. 'Rushing through' shows some sights, 'passing through' reveals even more but 'pausing' makes us part of the scene,

rewarding & revealing what we never noticed before.

Find a place where there's joy,
and the joy will
burn out the pain.
Joseph Campbell

If you can feel that 

staying human 

is worthwhile, 

even when it can’t have

any result whatever, 

you’ve beaten them.

    George Orwell

Don't worry about what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive. Howard Thurman

Grey skies are just
clouds passing over.
Duke Ellington

Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Mark Twain

Magic and Wonder

A L O H A From Honolulu!

"I wish I could get paid to

be at the beach without

swimming ability?"

After the rain, the sun

will reappear. There is life.

After the pain, the joy

will still be here.

      Walt Disney

After a day of cloud and wind and rain Sometimes the setting sun breaks out again, And touching all the darksome woods with light, Smiles on the fields until they laugh and sing Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Inside an African Tulip fallen from the tree

Growing up, I heard a lot about strength. My dad - a Holocaust survivor - embodied it, though he would never say that about himself. Not only did he survive one of the most horrific events in history, but he never lost hope along the way, crediting acts of kindness with keeping him alive. Daniel Lubetzky

Indian Mynas are not only fierce looking. Tough!

There is magic and wonder for eyes who know how to look with curiosity and love. Anon.
