Care About Everything - Worry About Nothing

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The best surfer out there

is the one having the most fun

 Duke Paoa Kahanamoku

Yawns are not the only infectious things out there besides germs.
Giggles can spread from person

to person.
So can blushing.
But maybe the most powerful infectious thing is the act of speaking the truth.
Vera Nazarian

Care for all you see around,

Let your heart's concern be bound

To ladybug upon the leaf,

Singing secrets in the breeze.

Resting seeds in soil so deep,

Dream of sunshine

Their secrets keep.

Above in winter

Skies are gray,

But trust those seeds

To find their way.

Let all things show you their delight,

Forget your worries of the night...

...Tiny dogs and soaring kites,

Enchanting winds

and starry nights,

From bustling streets

to hidden streams,

The world's a wonder

full of dreams.

Care for all you see and hear,

A robin's song, a child's cheer.

Let worries fade

as morning mist,

Embrace the joy

open up your fist.

To open hearts

the world unfolds,

Her happy tales

a wealth untold.

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Your legacy is not

what they say about you,

but how they live differently

because they knew you. John Sarris 

Crown Flower

Calotropis Gigantea

A genuine smile

can never misspeak.

It is an illusion that photos

are made with the camera...

they are made with the

eye, heart, and head.

   Henri Cartier-Bresson

There’s sunshine in the heart of me,

My blood sings in the breeze;

The mountains are a part of me, 

I’m fellow to the trees.

   Robert W. Service 

I'm a conscientious objector

to the way things are.

A non-combatant in the culture wars.

I will stand calmly in what is

as I see it. And will never

stoop to conquer, or

kick someone who's down!

 Impish grin, face of lime,

Angel/Devil, quite a find!

For sometimes mischief,

sweet and sly,

Reminds us all

to laugh and fly.

So don't be scared

of our smiling friend,

He'll nudge you out there

where comfort ends.

He's showing life's

a playful dance,

That mischief brings

a happy chance.

Our Gentle Motto

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If we want to be happy,

we must learn to treat ourselves

compassionately...

...Not only is this associated with

better mental health but longevity, too.

One 2020 study finding that

self-acceptance decreases mortality

risk by 19 percent.

It's never too late to prioritize

what brings you happiness.

A single seed
can turn into a forest.
A single heart
can transform a nation.
Bryan Thao Worra

One beating rhythm

strong and true,

The shared experience

me and you.

A field of wildflowers

free and bright,

This starry dance

on a moonlit night.

These fleeting gifts

don't let them fade,

Embrace the beauty, unafraid.

For in the "now,"

the joy resides,

Our motto: "Enjoy it,"

gently guides.

Greatest Healing Therapy

 

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Happiness comes of the capacity
to feel deeply, to enjoy simply,
to think freely, to risk life,
to be needed.
  Storm Jameson

My children, my stars,

Flotilla of down,

Each a gilded reflection,

 Jewels in my crown 

From eggs that once nestled,

a universe hatched,

Sun-kissed feathers aglow,

My pride is unmatched.

One day, on your own,

you'll paint the blue dome,

Leaving this haven,

to make your own home.

But know in the heavens,

my love ever glows,

For my celestial darlings,

as your life's journey flows.

One of the greatest diseases

 is to be nobody to anybody.

Mother Teresa 

Pixie on the Catwalk

 The greatest healing therapy

 is friendship and love.

We Meet Each Week In Secret

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life should not be

an argument

with anyone

but yourself.

Think of something

you need to do,

then don't do it.

That's relaxation!

We meet each week in secret

The Radical Kindness Club

To plan our acts of kindness.
Because good is always contagious.

We believe we can change the world.
Unafraid to stand for this
We don't mind being different.
Our Radical Kindness Club.

We are here to make a change.
To make the world a better place
We are the ones

who will make a difference

The Radical Kindness Club
And we are here to stay!

I think, therefore I think.
I feel, therefore I am.

Rainbow Trail

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Courtesy of Maria Price

I know the thrill of the grasses

when the rain pours over them.

I know the trembling of the leaves

when the winds sweep through them...

I know what the stars said

when they came stealthily down and

crept fondly into the tops of the trees.

         Muriel Strode

Prolong not the past

Invite not the future...

Fear not appearances

There is nothing more than this.

                   Ram Dass

Dwarf Poinciana 

Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. 

Let your tears water the seeds 

of your future happiness. 

Steve Maraboli 

Walk on a rainbow trail;

walk on a trail of song,

and all about you will be beauty.

There is a way out of

every dark mist,

over a rainbow trail.

    Robert Motherwell

What wisdom can you find

 that is greater

 than kindness?

With Gentled Hands

A L O H A From Honolulu!

[\\\]

Happiness is not a destination.

It is a method of life.

Burton Hills

A growing relationship

can only be nurtured

by genuineness.

    Leo F. Buscaglia

In wisdom gathered over time

I have found that every experience

is a form of exploration.

 Ansel Adams

With gentled hands

I set them free,

The tangled threads

of fallacy.

No longer grasping

at desires and things,

A quiet joy takes root

in my spirit and sings.

Letting the nonsense

drift to the breeze,

We'll find our solace

And rich inner peace

No longer bound

by empty strife,

I breathe the air of

A mindful life.
