Fresh Every Hour

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The scariest demons
of darkest night,
fade in the glory
of morning's 
good light. 

A silhouette that caught my eye,
Dancer frozen in mid-flight,
Splash of color, held so high,
Sidelong glimpse in luscious light.

Keeping Calm, taking a beat, is a radically important act!

Lasting Happiness like wonderful, warm donuts, must be made fresh every hour.

Keep Baking!

When we are together,

I can see Heaven

from here!

Silly Sun

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 The silly sun surrenders

dips its brush in hues of rose,

Painting Honolulu skies

in cotton candy glows.

Stars begin to twinkle

here and there in

the darkening dome, Tiny starfish scattered

across a heavenly home.

The music of hope is everywhere.

All you have to do is listen for it.

Christine M Knight 

We project to others

the image of ourselves that

we believe and carry

in our own minds.

With humble pride

think well of yourself

and others will

do the same.

We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. Whoopi Goldberg

Rising

A L O H A From Honolulu!

For me, the vast marvel

is to be alive.

For man, or for flowers

or beast or bird, the

supreme triumph is to be

most vividly and perfectly alive.

Al Purdy

Side by side,

we step onto the gleam, A metal river,

flowing up, it seems.

Laughter dances,

light as summer breeze, Riding together we

climb with joyful ease. Each rise a promise,

sung into the air, Of dreams we chase

and futures yet to share.

Within the Temple's crimson gate,

Incense serves it's fragrant fate.

Gold and gilt, a vibrant sight,

As New Year dawns,

with wishes bright.

Though traditions ever 

evolve and shift,

This temple holds

a love that lifts.

In shared hearts

and incense haze,

The soul of Chinese

New Year stays.

I'm youth, I'm joy,

I'm a little bird that has

broken out of the egg.

James M. Barrie

Some might say 'old dog,'

I say 'vintage treasure.'

Their love shines brighter

with each grey hair. Every day with this old friend

is a gift. *

* This is my neighbor's dog.

He may not jump as high,

but those farts still reach

impressive distances!

Parts of the Banquet

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The rainbow of fulfillment,

a symphony untold,

Each note a vibrant journey,

worth more than purest gold. So listen to the echoes,

and dance within the breeze, The colors will ignite,

bringing scents of peace.

Honolulu adopted the rainbow shower tree

as her official tree in 1965.

If you would know

strength and patience, welcome the company of trees. Hal Borland

The sun, the earth, love, friends, our very breath, are

parts of the banquet. Rebecca H. Davis

When one is willing

and able

the gods join in.

  Aeschylus

You can't live a perfect day

without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you. John Wooden

Honolulu's shower trees will bloom

Signery Irony

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Rise up and start fresh,

leave behind the troubles

that bring you stress.

   Bob Marley

The sun is a daily reminder

that we too can rise

again from the darkness,

that there is new life within us.
Sabella

Sunrise is the start

of something beautiful.

Let it be the start of

beautiful things in your life.

Indian proverb

 

A gaggle of quackers

blissfully unaware, Of a sign flatly stating

"No feeding, beware!"

Afternoon nap,

hearts full of glee, jolly ducks can't read,

silly sign, can't you see?

So remember, dear friend,

when rules seem quite strict, Sometimes a good quack,

is the best little trick!

There are no ordinary moments.

Eckhart Tolle

1. From a Trade Journal (1892): "Dry Goods Merchants Trade Journal... old material, sweetened up by the addition of some new each ... signery not later than 4.30 p.m. the day before the sale" [This refers to the act of making or selling signs, potentially suggesting a shop specializing in crafted signage.]

Sunset Surfer

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sun-kissed skin,
etched with brine calligraphy,
Silver hair, a crown
of well earned bravery.
No longer chasing giants
with youthful might,
He dances with mastered skill
and joy on waves of fading light.

Stone gaze softens, sternness fades,
A lei of blooms, in festive shades.
Lunar New Year paints the air,
Guardian lion, enjoying the fair.

The lion welcomes, fierce yet kind,
Blessings shared for all to find.
Silent sentinel, wise and old,
Whispers blessings, brave and bold.

Do not grow old,
No matter
how long you live.
Never cease to stand
like curious children
Before the great mystery
Into which we were born
Albert Einstein

Shine your soul with the same ego-less humility as the rainbow and no matter where you go in this world or the next, love will find you, attend you, and bless you.
