Genius Recovery

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Genius is the recovery

of childhood at will. Arthur Rimbaud

Bronthotherium megaceratops skull

The talkative listen to no one,

for they are ever speaking.

And the first evil of those

who know not to be silent is

that they hear nothing. Plutarch

 

If Everything Around You Seems Dark,

Look Again, You May Be The Light.

Rumi

Hong Kong Orchid Tree

An orchid in a deep forest

sends out its fragrance even if

no one is around to appreciate it.

    Confucius

 There are some people who

live in a dream world,

and there are some who face

reality; and then there are those

who turn one into the other.  

   Desiderius Erasmus

He was the most excited baby dragon that ever lived. My father was in a hurry to fly away, and when the dragon finally calmed down a bit my father climbed up onto his back.

A Single Lovely

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Your mission on this earth
is 2% WHAT you do,
98% HOW YOU DO IT.

All the beautiful sentiments 

in the world weigh less 

than a single lovely action. 

         James Russell Lowell

To see a world 

in a grain of sand

And a heaven 

in a wildflower:

Hold infinity in the 

palm of your hand,

And eternity in an hour.

        William Blake

 Your group of friends

are better than any drug

or anti-aging supplement, 

and will do more for you 

than just about anything.

        Dan Buettner

I Love the Authentic Connection

Desk Doggy Finds Solace

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted. Ruth E. Renkl

She dwells in an inch,

luxuriant lady of light.

Her boat, a bloom,

on the afternoon stream,

Model of repose, her tranquil dream.

Desk doggy finds solace

In his quiet solitude.

Soulful eyes investigate

Beseeching - never rude.

Resolve to be tender with 

the young, compassionate 

with the aged, sympathetic 

with the striving, and 

tolerant of the weak 

and the wrong. 

Sometime in life you will 

have been all of these.

            Lloyd Shearer

To Learn Which

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Betty Smith A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Looking back you realize that a

very special person passed briefly through

your life- and it was you.

It is not too late to

find that person again. Robert Brault

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Golda Meir

To learn which questions
are unanswerable, and
not to answer them:
this skill is most needful in
times of stress and darkness.
Ursula K. Le Guin

There is life in
a kindly reply.
Ua ola no i ka pane
a ke aloha

Treasure Melt

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 Sun is a Giant

Ball of Warm Butter Dripping on

the sunset seas.

Golden rays,

Of treasure melts, To kiss the waves

with golden ease.

You don't think your way

into a new kind of living.

You live your way into a

new kind of thinking. Henri Nouwen

"Flat Rate To Base"

The end of one journey is

just the beginning of another.

It is necessary to see

what was not seen,

see again what was already seen,

see in spring what was seen in summer,

see in the day what was seen at night.

You have to start the journey

over again. Always.

José Saramago

No one is ordinary

because every person

carries the wisdom of

his own unique path!

Destination Listener

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I’m learning that if we
don't start being with
The Now more often,
we will miss the most
important and
valuable moments.
Alex Elle

Kindness is not an act,
it's a reflection of your soul. 

Green bottle of sunshine
Beneath the boughs,
Find wisdom within,
And let it flow out.

When you've lost sight
of your path,
listen
for the destination
in your heart.
Katsura Hoshino

And cast aside

All fears.

Eight Year Memory Northern California

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In the warm Hawaiian sun, koi fish glisten like jewels under water. Their bright colored scales shimmer and gleam as they swim gracefully,  mesmerizing to watch. Originally from Japan, they are loved for their beauty and tranquility. 

Honolulu November Sky

Layered sky in shades

of gray and umber,
November clouds glide

as if in slumber.

November sky,

so vast and wide,
A canvas where

the clouds collide.

Joy and sorrow,

light and dark,
Create a moving

work of art.

Now here's the eight year memory of moving to Cali.

Grateful to be home in the islands since 2019!

Fireplace girl, my love from the sea,
How could I bring you to
this land of winter's spree!?

On the first of November,
when the winds blow cold,
I'm glad I have you here to hold.

Waikiki girl who lived
in the sunny curtains
In this cold land of winds

and chilly fogs
You are a sweet source comfort

Before the roasting logs.
