Proudly Modest

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When you reach for the stars,

you are reaching for the

farthest thing out there.

When you reach deep into yourself,

it is the same thing,

but in the opposite direction.

If you reach in both directions,

you will have spanned

the universe.

Vera Nazarian

Puffy clouds free of crowds quiet not loud

modest yet proud

A true friend is someone

who says nice things

behind your back. Anthony Michael Hall

Kings and Things Each Flower Sings What Pleasures

Spellbound!

True friends are like stars,

you don't always see them

but they are always there.

There is only now.

True wisdom comes to

each of us when we

realize how little we

understand about life, ourselves,

and the world around us.
Socrates

Some beautiful paths

can't be discovered,
without getting lost.

Life's challenges are a test

to see if we will
accept them joyfully.

Being negative only makes

a difficult journey more difficult.

You may be given a cactus,

but you don't have to sit on it.

What Is Is & Blue Ginger

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What is true is already so.

Owning up to it doesn't

make it worse.

Not being open about it

doesn't make it go away.

And because it's true,

it is what is...

People can stand what is true,

for they are already enduring it.

   Eugene T. Gendlin

Crown Flower & Younger Siblings

As a pearl is formed

and its layers grow,

a rich iridescence

begins to glow.

The oyster has taken what was

at first an irritation and intrusion

and uses it to enrich its value.

How can you coat or frame the

changes in your life to harvest

beauty, brilliance, and wisdom?

   Susan C. Young

In a forest of a

hundred thousand trees,

no two leaves are alike.

And no two journeys along

the same path are alike.

   Paulo Coelho

Blue Ginger Pleasure Bringer

Live your life

while you have it.

Life is a splendid gift.

There is nothing

small in it.

    Florence Nightingale

Both Sides

If people stopped looking for things that offended them and started looking for things that inspired them, what a wonderful world this would be.

Tree and Shadow

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Love has its own instinct,
finding the way to the heart,
as the feeblest insect finds the
way to its flower...
Honore de Balzac

Red was ruby,

green was fluorescent,

yellow was simply incandescent.

Color was life. Color was

everything. Color, you see,

was the universal sign of magic.
Tahereh Mafi

Character is like a tree and

reputation like a shadow...

the tree is the real thing.

She listened to him all night

Heal in the Shadows Celebrate in the Sun

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We are what our thoughts

have made us;

so take care about

what you think. Words are secondary.

Thoughts live;

they travel far. Swami Vivekananda

Heal in the shadows.
Celebrate in the sun.

Rest is not idleness, and

to lie sometimes on the grass

under trees on a summer’s day,

listening to the murmur

of the water, or watching

the clouds float across the sky,

is by no means a waste of time.

     J. Lubbock

The true poem rests

between the words.

  Vanna Bonta

Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up

every preconceived notion... or you shall learn nothing. Thomas H. Huxley

As long as the sun

does not set in your mind,

darkness will be nothing

but a weak shadow

in your life! Mehmet Murat ildan
