Before the Dawning Day

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Be reverent before

the dawning day. 

Do not think of what 

will be in a year, 

or in ten years. 

Think of to-day.

      Romain Rolland

 Don't be afraid of the sharps, flats, or minor keys in the melody of your life. They give your song it's soul and great value.

Celebrate the small things 

and our lives become 

bigger than ever.

           Tim Fargo 

There is always Music 

amongst the trees 

in the Garden, but 

our hearts must be 

very quiet to hear it.

        Minnie Aumonier

When you are kind to others, 

it not only changes you, 

it changes the world.

            Lolly Daskal

If you tend to a flower,

it will bloom,

no matter how many

weeds surround it. Matshona Dhliwayo

Even the palm trees are blooming

it fills me with so much hope.

The birds, the dogs, and people

all ride the rising slope.

Spider:

Critics do not determine

how beautifully

a flower blooms.

  Matshona Dhliwayo

Spring is here and

my old joy blooms

in the world. Steve Scafidi

Finish each day and be done with it.

You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities

have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely

and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with

your old nonsense. Emerson

Micro Kindness

A L O H A From Honolulu!

No act of kindness is too small.

The gift of kindness may

start as a small ripple

that over time can turn

into a tidal wave affecting

the lives of many.

Kevin Heath

Our life, exempt

from public haunt,

finds tongues in trees,

books in the running brooks,

sermons in stones, and

good in everything.

   William Shakespeare

The afternoon knows

what the morning

never suspected.

Robert Frost

Fire burst from its open mouth,

its eyes glowed

with a smouldering glare,

its muzzle and hackles and dewlap*

were outlined in flickering flame.

Arthur Conan Doyle

One can pay back 

the loan of gold, but 

one dies forever in debt 

to those who are kind.

* What is the purpose of a dewlap on a lizard?

Unique to males, the “blanket” is actually called a dewlap, or throat fan. Green Anoles use their pink dewlaps for two purposes. One is for breeding, displaying their intent to females. The second purpose is more commonly seen and functions in establishing territory among adult males.

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  

Magnanimous people have no vanity,

they have no jealousy, and

they feed on the true and

the solid wherever they find it.

And, what is more,

they find it everywhere.
   Van Wyck Brooks

If anyone ever tells you

your dreams are silly

remember there's a millionaire

walking around who invented

the pool noodle!

Steve Hartman, 

CEO and president of

Industrial Thermal Polymers,

invented the pool noodle

by tossing Backer Rods

manufactured by his company

into the pool in the 1980s.

A rose is still a rose,

even hidden

under different petals.
    Cheshire Cat

You are the sky.

Everything else is

just the weather.

In The Sunshine

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Time flies like an arrow...

...Fruit flies like a banana.
Groucho Marx

No pessimist ever discovered
the secret of the stars or sailed
to an uncharted land or opened
a new heaven to the human spirit.
Helen Keller

The winds of fortune
tend to favour the sails
of those who politely
yell out to it,
‘Nice to meet you!
Nabil Sabio Azadi

There is one thing more powerful
than the armies of the world,
and that is an idea
whose time has come.
Victor Hugo

 If you see the world in

black and white,
 you're missing important

grey matter. 
Jack Fyock

It is eternity now.
I am in the midst of it.
It is about me in the sunshine;
I am in it as the butterfly
in the light-laden air.
Nothing has to come;
it is now. Now..
       Richard Jefferies
