Everythings

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Our original instructions are to

listen to the cloud floating by

and the wind blowing by.

Everything is alive and has

its own consciousness.

 The root meaning of the word art

is “to fit together” and we all

do this every day. Not all of us

are painters but we are all artists.

Each time we fit things together

we are creating – whether it is to

make a loaf of bread, a child, a day. Corita Kent

Soldier & Traveler's Palm

We don't learn
patience or compassion
by having everything go
our way every time.

 To remember where you come from

is part of where you're going. Anthony Burgess

The Citizen Prince

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

One's destination 

is never a place,

but a new way 

of seeing things.

Being challenged in life

is inevitable, being

defeated is optional.

"The Citizen Royal"  KUHIO Day Parade

"- It honors a man who went from being the adopted son of a king to a counterrevolutionary to Hawaii’s voice in the U.S. Congress. Prince Kuhio was born March 26, 1871, the youngest of three sons of Kauai’s High Chief David Kahalepouli Piikoi and Princess Kinoiki Kekaulike. He grew to be a pragmatic politician called the “Citizen Prince” because of his devotion to the Hawaiian people. After the annexation, although they couldn’t vote for the president, citizens of the territory could elect a nonvoting delegate to Congress.  In 1902, Prince Kuhio, was elected delegate and served until his death Jan. 7, 1922. He was 50.

In Washington, D.C., where many considered Hawaiians to be simple natives, Prince Kuhio cajoled Congress into appropriating millions for the construction of Pearl Harbor. He was credited with creating Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The prince also created the Hawaiian Homes Commission to get his people back on the land. In 1920, the last of the alii (High Chief/Royal) to wield real political power introduced the first congressional resolution calling for Hawaii statehood. In 1949, the date of Jonah Kuhio Kalaniana’ole birth was declared a holiday. The Territorial Legislature wanted to honor the Citizen Prince, a man who never forgot his people.

Your Peace of Mind

Depends on one person; 

YOUrself. So

Claim it fiercely

Hold it calmly

Refuse to let it go!

Obscure Glory

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When we are no longer able

to change a situation, we are

challenged to change ourselves.

Viktor Frankl

Ipomoea obscura, also known as

the obscure morning glory

or small white morning glory. 

Become the kind of person

your ancestors want you to be

and your descendants

need you to be.

Anyone can love a rose,

but it takes a lot

to love a leaf.

It's ordinary to love

the beautiful, but it's

beautiful to love the ordinary.

  MJ Korvan

Be pleasant anyway.

Your life will improve

immeasurably as will

your relationships.

Morning Musicians

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Music in the soul

can be heard

by the universe.

Lao Tzu

The Golden Voice of Hawai`i Alfred Aholo Apaka

March 19, 1919 – January 30, 1960

The true beauty of music

is that it connects people.
It carries a message, and
we, the musicians,
are the messengers.
Roy Ayers

Street music is always good
even if it is bad because
there is only

one melody there:
The melody of the life
struggle of a poor man.
Mehmet Murat ildan

By Music From Her Phone

Who hears music,
feels his solitude
Peopled at once.
Robert Browning

Treat those closest to you
as if they were nearly purrfect
and they will become
more so every day.

Wholeness is ordinary,

it's simple.

It doesn't come

with fireworks.

It's the undisturbed calmness

inherent to the space

that is you.

The Good Remains

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Don't let the crazy

dim your light.

That alone is

a radical act.

Pause, reflect, and

what is right will appear.

Sharing makes you
bigger than you are.
The more you pour out
the more life will be
able to pour in.
Jim Rohn

Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea is
a water lily that grows in freshwater
lakes, pools, and rivers. It's also
known as the blue lotus,

blue Egyptian lotus,
blue water lily, and

sacred blue lily.

Every friend is to the other

a sun, and a sunflower also.

  Jean Paul Richter. 

If you pursue evil with pleasure,

the pleasure passes away

and the evil remains;

If you pursue good with labor,

the labor passes away

but the good remains.

Cicero

I hope I never get tired of

the night sky, of thunderstorms,

of watching cream make

galaxies in my coffee.

I hope I never grow to be

someone who can no longer

see the small beautiful things.
