The Wise Flip Flop

A L O H A From Honolulu!


When 'I' is replaced with 'we',
even illness becomes wellness.
Malcolm X




 If the universe is 
bigger and stranger
 than I can imagine, 
it's best to meet it 
with an 
empty bladder.
       John Scalzi




A Common Mundane Tragedy
A flip-flop woke proud,  
Ready to dance
In the beach town crowd  
But her strap came askance!
  
“Oh no!” cried the flip-flop 
"This is no fun!"
 I was feeling so Tip-Top 
In the warm salty sun!

Yet with surf breezes
A thought came to play:  
“Maybe fates sneezes
Shouldn't ruin my day.” 

BE the Wise Flip Flop!

Cloudia Charters





 Whenever you are 
sincerely pleased 
you are nourished. 
 Ralph Waldo Emerson

Morning Light Thank You Light

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Morning light
Our gentle friend,
Warm my skin
Night's at its end.

Thank you light
For waking me,
To all the joy
The day will be.

As soon as you trust yourself,
 you will know how to live.
  Goethe 







The greatest invention 
in the world is the 
mind of a child.

There are days when solitude,
for someone my age,
is a heady wine that
intoxicates you
with freedom.

With All My Might

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Let us walk this morning trail,
And call the joy
that must prevail.
Choose the light,
our future's  bright,
Just as I'm praying with all my might.

💙



This early piece of the morning is mine. Wallace Stegner





You will find something more
in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never
learn from masters. Saint Bernard



This cloud is having
a really good hare day!

Person who travels on nothing from nowhere to happiness. Mark Twain

The Grand Show

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The grand show is eternal.
It is always sunrise somewhere;
the dew is never dried all at once;
a shower is forever falling;
vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise,
eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea
and continents and islands,
each in its turn, as
the round earth rolls.
John Muir



I was coming to realize
 that the real magician 
was light itself. 
 Edward Steichen 




Religion is at its best when
it makes us ask hard
questions of ourselves.
It is at its worst when it
deludes us into thinking
we have all the answers
for everybody else.
    Archibald Macleish








Happiness is a process.
Not an unwavering
state of rest

Quiet Aura

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We're not all alone
in this grand design
Each life is important
Yours and mine...


...So take heart
And face each day
Everything will be OK.





Compassion crowns the soul
with its truest victory.
  Aberjhani



Only rainbows after rain ....
The sun will always
come again.
   Andy Grammer




A quiet aura of confidence
with kindness
is a force field that keeps
the awkwardness away.

Time

A L O H A From Honolulu!









Make it a habit to tell people 
thank you. 
To express your appreciation, sincerely 
and without the expectation of 
anything in return. 
Truly appreciate those around you, 
and you'll soon find 
many others around you. 
Truly appreciate life, and 
you'll find that you 
have more of it.
          Ralph Marston


Yellow is the colour of the sun.
Blue is the colour of the sky.
Green is the colour of grass.
Brown is the colour of your eyes.
Black is the colour of the night.
Orange is the colour of truth.
Red is the colour of love.
And...
Rainbow is the colour of you.
            Anthony T. Hincks


There is no such thing 
in anyone's life as 
an unimportant day.
      Alexander Woollcott




I may not have gone 
where I intended to go, 
but I think I have ended up 
where I intended to be.
        Douglas Adams

Wise Enough (To) Fool

A L O H A From Honolulu!

To love and be loved is to
feel the sun from both sides. 
     David Viscott


Help young people.
Help small guys. Because
small guys will be big.
Young people will have the
seeds you bury in their minds,


- and when they grow up,
they will change the world. Jack Ma




No place can ever change
as much as the person
who grows up there. David Viscott


I was wise enough to
never grow up while
fooling most people
into believing I had.
Margaret Mead
