Golden Fate Silver Lining

A L O H A From Honolulu!
 By walking on the right path, you create a golden fate for yourself and you also become a silver lining for the others! Mehmet Murat ildan 


Every time you invest
in your character,
invest in your humanity,
it's the best stock market.
It pays dividends. And it
creates magic in ways that
you can't anticipate.

A single prop that
does not look real
to an audience can
louse you up. The same is
true of the smallest flaw...
in a story line.

Surrounded by darkness
yet enfolded in light

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.

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

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.
                     Malayan Proverb

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.

in the distance;
the wise
