True Joy Dare Live

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A sharp spear needs no polish
H. Rider Haggard




Joyful, joyful, joyful,
as only dogs know
how to be happy
with only the autonomy
of their shameless spirit.
    Pablo Neruda



A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. Bertrand Russell


Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. Gerard Way


Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place. Tecumseh,
Native American Leader

Matters

A L O H A From Waikiki

What we know matters but
who we are matters more.
Brene Brown





 The moment one gives close attention to anything,
even to a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. Henry Miller








Don't become upset.
Don't argue. Don't get angry.
Just fill your heart
with peace. And witness.*




Some people were not
put here to evolve.
They are here to remind you
what it looks like if you don't.

Which Contains More?

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We live our dreams,
we do not live our lives
Hisham Fawzi




It’s not about being happy
all the time, or being sure
of all your choices. It’s
about knowing that life is
precious, even when it’s tough.

Topher Kearby  



Rowing Contest in the Harbor
People are lonely 
because they build walls
instead of bridges.
         Joseph Fort Newton




Remember to enjoy being in this world, being able to do what you are doing. Stephen Schwartz

Calm Mind Strong

A little elation now and
then can help you
feel alive again.

to a calm mind, the

Yourself With Wonder

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 If you have a strong
purpose in life, you
don't have to be pushed.
Your passion will
drive you there.
Roy T. Bennett




People will change
what they do when
they feel accepted
for who they are.

Adam Grant



A photograph has picked up a
fact of life, and that fact
will live forever.
Raghu Rai 





Ultimately photography is
about who you are.
It’s the truth in
relation to yourself.
And seeking truth
becomes a habit.
   Leonard Freed



People travel to wonder at
the heights of mountains,
at the huge waves of the sea,
at the long courses
of the rivers, at the vast
compass of the ocean,
and yet they pass by
themselves without wondering. Saint Augustine

Don't Be Afraid Of Its Plenty

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Any fool can know.
The point is to understand.
Albert Einstein




I wonder how many people
I've looked at all my life
and never seen.
  John Steinbeck




A lone star shines in
its own corner of the sky.
   Japanese saying



It takes half your life
before you discover that
life is a do-it-yourself project.

If you suddenly
and unexpectedly feel joy,
don't hesitate. Give in to it...
don't be afraid of its plenty.
Joy is not made to be a crumb.
  Mary Oliver

Wishes Of An Ant

A L O H A From Honolulu!
There is not enough darkness
in all the world to put out the
light of even one small candle.

Some people are
afraid to be corny.
Not me. I live life
on the cob, baby!

Even in one single leaf 
on a tree, or in
one blade of grass, 
the awesome Deity 
presents itself.
 Even the wishes of
an ant reach to heaven.

Jasminum sambac "Arabian jasmine"

make it simple, and I
