On The Three "N" Plan

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I'm on the 3 N Plan

regarding everyone as

my Niece, Nephew,

or Neighbor.

Wisdom warns against desire,

but there is power in wanting.

Eugene Utley

Find a beautiful place

inside the nature and

refresh yourself over there;

how well you repose will

mostly determine how far

you can go in this universe!

Noticing

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Wisdom is not gained

by knowing what is right.

Wisdom is gained by

practicing what is right,

and noticing what happens

when that practice succeeds

and when it fails.
Barbara Brown Taylor

What gets us into trouble

is not what we don't know.

It's what we know for sure

that just ain't so.
Mark Twain

Taking responsibility for events

that (you will argue)

were not your fault used to be

understood to be the occasional

burden of being an adult.

Miss Manners 

This Great Egret
is NOT a Duck:

Biologists say that

the duck's tail feathers

evolved to cover

it's butt quack.

Even though you're growing up,

you should never stop having fun.

In the afternoon,

the beauty of the world

reveals itself in a gentle light,

and we find solace in its embrace.

Tenacity

A L O H A From Honolulu!

There is no chance,

no destiny, no fate, that

can circumvent or hinder or

control the firm resolve

of a determined soul. Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Those tenacious of purpose

in a rightful cause are not

shaken from firm resolve by the

frenzy of fellow citizens clamoring

for what is wrong, or by the

tyrant's threatening countenance.

Horace, 23 BC

It is not enough

that we do our best;

sometimes we must do

what is required. Winston S. Churchill

Patience and tenacity

are worth more than

twice their weight

of cleverness.

Thomas Henry Huxley

Spaces You Leave

A L O H A From Honolulu!

For age is opportunity no less
Than youth itself, though
in another dress,
And as the evening
twilight fades away
The sky is filled with stars,
invisible by day.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What you don't say,
and the spaces you leave,
will say more than any
words you could have used.

Each breadfruit is a compound
or multiple fruit called a syncarp.
The female inflorescence,
appearing after the male,
consists of 1500-2000
minute flowers attached
to a spongy core.
The flowers fuse together
and develop into the fleshy,
edible portion of the fruit.
National Tropical Botanical Garden

Freedom, Flowers and the Moon

A L O H A From Honolulu!

With freedom, books, flowers,

and the Moon, who

could not be happy? Oscar Wilde

Which is Bigger, the Moon or this Flower?

People need celebration in their life.

It's part of what it means

to be human.

We need magic and bliss and power,

myth, and celebration in our lives.

And music is a good way to

encapsulate a lot of it.

     Jerry Garcia

The white-rumped shama

was deliberately introduced to

the Hawaiian Archipelago in 1931 

 To bear trials with a calm mind

robs misfortune of its

strength and burden

Seneca

It is through gratitude

for the present moment

that the spiritual dimension

of life opens up

The Perfection

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When it comes to learning

about what it means to

grow old, beware

of the experts

  Neal Milner

Despair never helps

and it harms significantly.

Avoid it at all costs.

When unavoidable

consider it temporary and

don't succumb to its siren call.

Eat a gallon of ice cream.

Watch movies all day, but

the next day get up....

...Get dressed and plan something

you can do. And when you can't,

there is no shame in getting assistance. Especially these days!

We need every right thinking person

to be a node of sanity.

You are important to all of us.

Gratitude is a concept.

Saying 'Thank You'

the practice.

Meaning it:

the Perfection.

Stoking resentment

helps no one, but

it's easier than

having good ideas.

Occasionally in life

there are those moments

of unutterable fulfillment

which cannot be completely

explained by those symbols

called words. Their meanings

can only be articulated by

the inaudible language

of the heart. Such

is the moment I am

presently experiencing.
