Just The Place

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When you get into a tight place

and everything

goes against you,

till it seems as though

you could not

hang on a minute longer,

never give up then, for

that is just the place and

time that the tide will turn.

    Harriet Beecher Stowe

Nothing is inherently and

invincibly young except spirit.

And spirit can enter a

human being perhaps better

 in the quiet of old age and dwell

there more undisturbed

than in the turmoil of adventure. 

     George Santayana

Because of your smile, 

you make life more beautiful.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Share your smile with the world. 

It’s a symbol of friendship and peace.

Christie Brinkley

I survive by finding the 

sweet spot between 

reason and unreason, 

between the rational 

and irrational.

Dean Koontz

I love those who can

smile in trouble.

     Leonardo da Vinci

Just

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A life of abundance does not
mean a life of accumulating,
but instead developing a
spiritual sense of awe at
the limitlessness of it all.
Wayne Dyer

There is no need to run,

strive, search or struggle.

Just be. Just being

in the moment in

this place is the

deepest practice

of meditation.

  Thich Nhat Hanh

Motivation is the art 

of getting people to do 

what you want them to do 

because they want to do it.

 Dwight Eisenhower

Resistance isn't just

Marches and shouts, But a quiet inner strength When all the world doubts.

Sunshine In The Fog

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The true purpose of education

is to teach one to carry oneself

triumphant to the sunset.

  Liberty Hyde Bailey

Spathoglottis plicata

In a world of green,

a splash of delight,

This happy little flower,

so bright. 

Yellow petals,

sunshine's embrace,

Mauve accents,

a touch of grace.

Petals unfurl, like

a butterfly's wings,

Dancing in the breeze,

while sunbeams sing.

You fill the air

with fragrance sweet,

A symphony of color,

So lovely to meet.

When you are happy,

you feel the sunshine

even inside the fog;

when you are unhappy,

you feel the fog

even in the sunshine.

The forces that are for you

are greater than the

forces against you.

 Joel Osteen

Let my love like sunlight

surround you and yet

give you illumined freedom.

Rabindranath Tagore

Hold your values tight,  

Yet keep an open heart

Let new ideas ignite.  

Every ending is a start.

Be firm in your truths

Yet ready to learn,  

For growth comes from bridges, and

Listening is how we discern.

In conversation

Let kindness lead the way,  

Embrace different voices

Let them have their say.  

It's together

We must journey

Values with openness,

Let’s build

Instead of fighting 

And find the treasure in

This glorious mess.

 Compassion makes you strong, caring and creative. It creates a different attitude, a level of maturity and understanding, where you do something which makes you stand out of crowd. Amit Ray

If you want to know
how much I love you
