Sand Castles

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We spend our days waiting
for the ideal path to appear in
front of us but what we forget
is that, paths are made by
walking, not by waiting.
Anonymous

Where words are restrained,

the eyes often talk

a great deal.

Samuel Richardson

Hail The Snail
She may be frail

but does not fail!

Baby Beach Jail No Sand in the Pail

Let the children be free,

to dig and to play,
To build sandcastles that

enchant them all day
Let their laughter echo,

their spirits ignite,
For the beach is a haven,

where childhood takes flight.

 I no longer ask people:

What do you think about that?

Instead, I ask:

How did you come to believe that?

That gets them talking about the

people and experiences that

shaped their values.

People are much more revealing

and personal when they

are telling stories. And the

conversation is going to be

warmer and more fun David Brooks

Tiny Giants

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 Allow yourself to trust joy 

and embrace it. 

You will find you dance

 with everything. 

 Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beyond the Chinese Cemetery Down through the lush green valley The sun paints the sky

Waikiki towers rise down there Like distant tiny giants

clustered at the shore-

This mountain air is quiet and still Wind and bird songs A sense of peace. Gaze upon the tranquil scene A moment of serenity, In the heart of Oahu.

Born under the Manchu-led

Qing empire,

final imperial dynasty in

Chinese history.

Lived in the last years of the

sovereign Kingdom of Hawaii,

experiencing the overthrow.

Citizen of the short-lived Republic.

Died in the (U.S.) Territory of Hawaii

just three years before US

Statehood for the Isles.

What stories he must have lived!

 Be not inhospitable to strangers

lest they be angels in disguise.

[Volkswagen Van Mailbox!]

In the cherry blossom's shade there's no such thing as a stranger. Kobayashi Issa

Beauty might bring happiness, but happiness always brings beauty. Kevyn Aucoin

Seize the moments

of happiness,

love and be loved!

That is the only

reality in the world,

all else is folly.

Leo Tolstoy

I've never seen a problem that was solved by only complaining about it. Steve Keating

Where lace and grace

are subtly found.

Spare a moment

look around

Then sunlight gleams.

In memory all day

Lingering in dreams

Strange wisdom to convey.

May my heart be kind. May my mind be fierce.

May my spirit be brave. Kate Forsythe

Dance Back Simply

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Dance in the sun,

turn your back 

to the clouds.

     Zimbabwean Proverb

Simply being with your emotions

without becoming them is a

victory that should

not be overlooked.

    Yung Pablo 

Remember, most rudeness,

meanness, and cruelty are a

mask for deep-seated weakness.

Kindness in these situations is

only possible for people of

great strength. You have that

strength. Use it. Daily Stoic

If you get tired, learn

to rest, not to quit. Banksy

Tranquility Space

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Do what you can to show

you care about other people,

and you will make our

world a better place.
Rosalynn Carter

Under my wings

find solace and grace,

A refuge from storms,

Our own tranquil space,

Whispers of fidelity

gently caress,

All worries are lulled

in sweet, gentle rest.

The moon moves slowly, 

but it crosses the town.

                  African Proverb

Celebrate the small things and our lives become bigger than ever. Tim Fargo

Without things to overcome,

you don't become much

of a person. Do you?

  Bette Davis

Echoes Replaced

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life is a great big canvas; throw

all the paint you can on it.

  Danny Kaye

Just relax and enjoy the

magnificence of life.

Debasish Mridha

Echoes of revelry,

laughter, and song,
Replaced by warm glow,

all night long.

Liquid to light,

They cast a warm glow,

dispelling the night,

Just one more drink

before we go!

To study hard, think quietly,
talk gently,
act frankly, to listen to
stars, birds, babes,
and sages with open heart,
to bear all cheerfully,
do all bravely,
await occasions,
hurry never.
This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing

Attentive to the light

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Simple pleasures are the last
healthy refuge in a complex world.
Oscar Wilde

 The talkative speak from the mouth,
the eloquent speak from the heart.
  Joseph Joubert

The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said. The art of reading between the lines is a lifelong quest of the wise.
Shannon L. Alder

Unselfish and noble actions 
are the most radiant pages 
in the biography of souls.
