Joy Sips

There is no such thing as
a simple act of compassion
or an inconsequential
act of service.
Everything
we do for another person
has infinite consequences.
Caroline Myss

The longer I live 

the more beautiful 

life becomes. 

               Frank Lloyd Wright

You cannot find

your soul with your mind,

you must use your heart. 

Gary Zukav

If in our daily life

we can smile,

if we can be peaceful

and happy,

not only we, but

everyone will profit from it.

This is the most basic

kind of peace work.

   Thich Nhat Hanh

Perfect happiness is

a beautiful sunset, the

giggle of a grandchild,

the first snowfall.

It's the little things that

make happy moments,

not the grand events.

Joy comes in sips,

not gulps.

Sharon Draper

Clear And Enough

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

The moon is alive

because of the darkness-

how could we ever be afraid

of something that gives

the stars a home?

True silence is the 

rest of the mind; 

it is to the spirit 

what sleep is to

the body, nourishment 

and refreshment.

            William Penn

Birds sing after a storm; 

why shouldn't people feel 

as free to delight in 

whatever sunlight 

remains to them?

         Rose Kennedy

Today,  

I woke with nothing to fix.  

Just the gift  

Of morning 

Clear  

And enough.

Night rain washed  

Old worries away.

In the hush before light, 

Feeling like a better day.

  

Voices of the waking drift  

With sparrows in the dawn—  

Near and far

A gentleness is felt 

Optimism

To which I'm drawn.

Outside leaves  

Turn toward sun.  

Their world is simple  

Green, gold,  important 

And fun.  💚

Together More Than We Know

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Few delights can equal the mere presence of one whom we trust utterly. George MacDonald

Strive not to be a success,

but rather to be of value.

Albert Einstein

Savor calm And quiet grace, Forget the stormy Tempest's chase. For in sweet stillness Peace can be found, Here together On sacred ground. Cloudia Charters

I once knew a human,

quite grand, Whose lap was

the best in the land. With a purr and a blink, "More food!" I would think, And right in the bowl

it would land!

Acceptance Flower Joy

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

When you wear 

the weed of impatience 

in your heart instead of the

flower Acceptance-with-Joy, 

you will always find 

your enemies get an 

advantage over you.

 Hannah Hurnard

You can't reach for 

anything new if 

your hands are full 

of yesterday's junk.

I don’t know anything,

but I do know that

everything is interesting

if you go into it deeply enough.

I set out to find my peace

in the skies and the tulips,

in the howling of the winds,

in the rain under the shed

and it was right there

residing within me. Suyasha Subedi

Common Enchantment

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Life's challenges are not

supposed to paralyze you,

they're supposed to help you

discover who you are.

Bernice Johnson Reagon

They danced for a moment, 

 beauty stayed,

Their soul-stirring art, 

gracefully displayed.

With every sway, 

old tales awoke,

Waikiki's true spirit 

softly spoke.

      Pixie

Plumbago, Leadwort

When grace is

joined with wrinkles, 

it is adorable. There is an 

unspeakable dawn

in happy old age. 

             Victor Hugo

At the end of the day,

what really matters is that

your loved ones are well,

you've done your best, and

that you're thankful

for all you have.

We wait, starving 

for moments of high magic 

to inspire us, but life is 

full of common enchantment 

waiting for our alchemists

How Good

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. Saint Francis de Sales

Every circumstance in life, 

no matter how 

crooked and distorted 

and ugly it 

appears to be, if 

it is reacted to in

love and forgiveness 

can be transformed.

     Hannah Hurnard

Ah, how good it feels!

The hand of an old friend.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The greatest

healing therapy is friendship and love. Hubert H. Humphrey
