Let The Children Play

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Some people come and go and are forgotten. But there are other people who share a part in our destinies. They come, they go, but they are never forgotten. They come, they go, but even after they go... they're still here. They never really went anywhere.
C. JoyBell C.



Let them spend their days in sunshine
living their imagination. These wild children in morning sun will become adults of mind and spirit capable of creating society for 
their families and all of us.




People hurry by so quickly
Don't they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies
Songs, to aging children come
(Songs, to aging children come)
Aging children, I am one (I am one)

Joni Mitchell

 Remember: Joy is
not merely incidental
to your spiritual quest.
It is vital.
Nachman of Bratslav






What would you drink from
these red and green crystal flutes
guarded by Sharks Teeth?
A.I. Answer:
"If I could drink in red and gold crystal flutes guarded by sharks, I would drink a magical elixir that grants me the ability to fly. I would raise my glass to the sharks and say, "Thank you for guarding this precious gift. I will use it wisely.""

As If You Have Nowhere To Go

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
Sky Slash @ Sunset

A fiery blade across the sky,
Canvas painted
with twilight's kiss.
From crimson red
to golden hues,
A symphony of colors,
Draping the world
In gold.



With every swipe of your squeegee,
You give us all a clearer view.
Teaching us to appreciate
The beauty in the everyday.
You leave the world a little brighter.
Thank you, window washers,
for all that you do.





Welcome, my little,
To this beautiful life.
On your first beach day
We walk hand-in-hand
You giggle as the waves
Reach your toes,

 May you always find
This wonder everyday.
The waves of joy ever
crash upon your shore,
Welcome to this beautiful life.
We'll leave our footprints here.




I live by letting things happen.
Dogen



Most people cannot believe
that just walking as if
you have nowhere to go
is enough.
Thich Nhat Hanh

There Is A Space

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Between stimulus and response
there is a space. In that space is
our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our
growth and our freedom.
Victor Frankl 


It’s exhilarating to come closer
and closer to self-discipline.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
           
 
When you are not sure, 
flip a coin because while 
the coin is in the air, you
realize which one 
you are actually hoping for.
        Jay Shetty

 

Real friends never leave
each other, never part.
They just sometimes sit
silently, deep within each
other's heart, saying,
“I'm just here if you need me."




A breath, a pause,
A moment to choose.
True power one
day at a time.

Quiet Room

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Without the fire,
the phoenix never rises
from the ashes.
Forrest Curran



If we can't have world peace, I'll settle for a quiet room. Joyce Rachelle



Be at peace.
Breathe deeply and relax, Let go of all your worries.
In quiet rooms where sanity reigns Close your eyes And listen deep,
Feel stillness all around Find your grace And join me here, Where peace and love
are near.


If your soul is wide,
the narrowness of the street
does not bother you;
if your soul is narrow,
the width of the street
does not comfort you!
     Mehmet Murat ildan




People say 
nothing is impossible, 
but I do nothing 
every day.
           A. A. Milne

Pure And Glowing

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Feelings are always purest
and most glowing in the hour of meeting and of farewell. Jean Paul Richter





When shall all men's good
Be each man's rule,
And universal peace
Lie like a shaft of light
Across the land,
And like a lane of beams
Athwart the sea
 Alfred, Lord Tennyson





The heart has its reasons,
which reason does not know.
Blaise Pascal





 Thousands have lived without love,
not one without water. 
    W. H. Auden 



If Smart water is so smart
then how did it get bottled?


I said HYDRATE!

[NOT Hydrant!]


It is the least privileged, 
not the most, who excel 
in appreciating the 
smallest of offerings.
          Mary Pipher




You are 87% water;
the other 13% keeps
you from drowning.
P. E. Morris

In The Hush 0f A Quiet Morning

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Notice what you see.
Hear. Smell. Feel. Take a deep breath.
Relax on an exhale. Who you are in this moment
is a different person than
you've ever been before. Feel what's possible. Breathe it in. Take back your life.
Cory Muscara

It is only through shadows that one comes to know the light. Catherine of Siena



Hawaiian Quilt
Every year of my life 
I grow more convinced that 
it is wisest and best to fix our 
attention on the beautiful and good 
and dwell as little as possible 
on the dark and the base.
                 Richard Cecil



In the hush of a quiet morning
This shady street tree waits
A wise old friend
Sharing solitude.



Life is like chasing
a laser pointer.
You may never catch it,
but the fun is in the chase!
