Just A Bit

Works Wonders

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When the Sun

of compassion arises darkness evaporates and the singing birds come from nowhere. Amit Ray

The most precious light
is the one that visits you
in your darkest hour!
Mehmet Murat ildan

Darkness is your candle.

Your boundaries are your quest. You must have shadow

and light source both. Listen, and lay your head

under the tree of awe. Rumi

Create a little light

to chase away

the darkness.

Ari Gunzburg

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.

Independent of Circumstances

A L O H A From Honolulu!

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.
