 The air of ideas is the only air worth breathing. Edith Wharton 

The more anger towards the
past you carry in your heart,
the less capable you are
of loving in the present.
Barbara de Angelis

Seek the wisdom
that will
untie your knot.
Rumi

Life becomes easier and

more peaceful when you

cease to fret about what

other people say and do.

Spathodea campanulata, also known as

the African tulip tree, is a flowering tree

native to tropical African forests

When you take the

high road you will see things that most people won’t. Lolly Daskal

Three Ways to the Ultimate

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The biggest positive changes

in your life will come from

noticing an invitation to grow

and trusting yourself enough

to accept it.

Corey Allen

Loving others is only possible

by recognizing that

all of our souls come

from the same source.

Focus on what we

have in common.

Be an opener of doors Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are three ways

to ultimate success:

The first way is to be kind.

The second way is to be kind.

The third way is to be kind.

With Joy Confidence & Humility

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Walk into the room as if
God sent you there. 

On leafy canvas, grooves unfold,

A story whispered, green and bold.

In swirling lines that sunlight weaves,

Secrets sing on emerald leaves.

A recent study suggests that just visiting a variety of different locations is associated with a higher sense of wellbeing in people with depression or anxiety. Researchers found the more varied locations people visit, the better they feel about their emotional and psychological well being– even if their mental health symptoms

are still there. 

    University Psychiatric Clinics,

         Basel, Switzerland, 2022   *

Daikoku, in Japanese mythology,

one of the Shichi-fuku-jin

(Seven Gods of Luck);

 god of wealth, guardian of farmers.

He is depicted in legend and art

as dark-skinned, stout, carrying a

wish-granting mallet in his right hand,

a bag of precious things slung over

his back, and sitting on two rice bags

    Wikipedia

The earth is resting,

and I am in need of rest, too.

In winter, I feel at home in

the silences of the world.

For Use Were Made

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Oh, garden, with

your vibrant hue,
You paint my morning,

fresh and new.
A canvas splashed

with life and light,
A perfect start,

serene and bright.

All doubt, despair and fear
become insignificant once
the intention of life
becomes love.
Rumi

Hide not your talents.

They for use were made.

What’s a sundial in the shade?

Benjamin Franklin

I decided that the most

subversive, revolutionary thing

I could do was to show up

for my life and not be ashamed.
Anne Lamott

If you are patient in 

one moment of anger, 

you will escape a 

hundred days of sorrow.

All You Need To Warm Your Heart

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The older you get,

the more you realize it's

okay to live a life that

others don't understand.
Tyler Knott Gregson

When skies turn gray,
and raindrops fall,
Don't let your spirits
sink at all!
For in each drop
a gentle grace,
Symphonies of
nature's embrace.

"Snickers"

A worthy person is still
worthy even penniless.
A donkey is a donkey
even if finely saddled.
Turkish Proverb

My old 1973 bmw r75/5

The engine purrs a distant song, Two wheels parked, a journey done. No dust-kissed roads

or wind-whipped hair, Just echoes of adventures shared.

Each curve a prayer, each hill a test, A rebel hymn upon my chest. Now quiet roads of mind I roam, Old stories bloom, while here at home. For though the miles may cease to spin, The joy they brought still dwells within.

Contentment hums, a gentler tune, symphony of all that's been. The open road, a chapter closed, But in my heart, the legend grows.

So let the quiet be my guide, My journey's wisdom, deep inside. The motorcycle, a memory's gleam, But adventure flows on, the endless stream.

And in the stillness, I confess, The greatest ride is mindfulness. So let the engine's hum be still, I've chased enough, my cup is filled.

A nice warm shower,

a cup of tea, and

a caring ear may be all

you need to warm your heart.

Charles F. Glassman

Heart Life Pleasures

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

When your heart speaks take good notes. Judith Campbell

Life is a succession of moments.

 To live each one is to succeed.

            Corita Kent

 

A little "thank you" that you will say to someone for a "little favour" shown to you is a key to unlock the doors that hide unseen "greater favours". Learn to say "thank you" and why not?

 Israelmore Ayivor

Why not seize the pleasure at once, how often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations.

Jane Austen

Free To Delight

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In ordinary life we hardly realize

that we receive a great deal more

than we give, and that it is only

with gratitude that life becomes rich.

Deitrich Bonhoeffer

 Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. Mother Theresa

Birds sing after a storm;
why shouldn't people feel
as free to delight in

whatever sunlight

remains to them?
Rose Kennedy

She has a light inside her

that makes other people look better. Homer Simpson, Of his wife Marge
