Places And Feelings

When people look 

at my pictures

I want them to feel 

the way they do when

they want to read a

line of a poem twice.

   Robert Frank

The path to our destination

is not always

a straight one.

Maybe it's about

what we encounter

along the way.

In this lane,

there is no hurry;

the world moves with the

pace of a

whispered secret.

Every winding lane

has a story. That story

begins with a step.

It is more than a path;

it's a memory waiting

to be made.

Some lanes

lead to places,

others

lead to feelings.

grow miracles.

May The Gentle

A L O H A  From

One individual who
vibrates to the energy
of pure love will
counterbalance the
negativity of 750,000
who do not.
Dr. David Hawkins

In a world gone mad 

spiraling with so much noise, 

fear, and division, the 

greatest revolution is to 

stay anchored in love.

Not passive, spiritual, by-passy, 

head-in-the-sand “love”, 

but love that sees darkness, 

feels compassion for suffering, 

and chooses to shine anyway.

Aubert Bastiat

All of humanity's problems 

stem from peoples' inability 

to sit quietly 

in a room alone. 

   Blaise Pascal, 

17th-century French philosopher, 

mathematician, and writer. 

This appears in his work Pensées

May the gentle hush

Of evening 

Cradle your thoughts

In peace, 

And may the stars above 

Guide you on

To sweet release.

Rest well, wrapped

In serenity, 

Until the dawn

Brings light

Unto infinity.

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Trust the 

unfolding of your life. 

Many seasons will feel 

disorienting, but when 

the dust settles, you'll 

realize that you weren't 

being torn to pieces-

you were expanding.

Michelle C Clark

Flame of the Forest. 

Creativity 

is allowing yourself
to make mistakes.
Art is knowing
which ones to keep.
   Scott Adams

One day you will look back

and see that all along,

you were blooming.

The art of being happy
lies in the power of
extracting happiness
from common things.

Slice

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

The more you extend

kindness to yourself, the

more it will become your

automatic response 

to others.

    Wayne Dyer

As for old age,
embrace and love it.
It abounds with pleasure
if you know how to use it.
The gradually declining years
are among the sweetest
in a man's life, and I
maintain that, even when
they have reached the
extreme limit, they have
their pleasure still.
Seneca 

I sense a gaze 

behind my back—
Is it a friend, 

or maybe a cat?

You’re like pizza—

even when I’m 

not hungry, I still 

want a slice!

There once was a chef, 

they called Stumpy,
A pig with a hat, 

never grumpy.
His trotters so small,
Could whisk sauces for all,
And his dishes were 

never clump lumpy!

Like Stars

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

The more often we see
the things around us -
even the beautiful and
wonderful things -
the more they become
invisible to us. That is
why we often take for
granted the beauty of
this world: the flowers,
the trees, the birds,
the clouds - even those
we love. Because we
see things so often,
we see them less and less.
Joseph B. Wirthlin

Art, made by a 

living soul will continue 

to be a mystery 

as long as human 

consciousness is a mystery.

Solomon Enos, artist

The authentic self 

is the soul made visible. 

Sarah Ban Breathnach

Petals unfurl 

With laughter at dawn,

Winter’s chill swept 

And finally gone.

In a sunlit hush,

Colors ignite

Hope pirouettes

Into morning light.

Dreams are like stars.

You may never

touch them,

but if you follow them

they will lead you

to your destiny.

Linger

A L O H A  From

 Kind words not only lift our spirits in the moment they are given, but they can linger with us

over the years. Joseph B. Wirthlin

Welcome the uninvited

 to receive its gift.

Pixie

As we let our own light shine, 

we unconsciously give 

other people permission 

to do the same.

         Nelson Mandela

Confidence is 

the sweet spot 

between arrogance 

and despair-

consisting of positive 

expectations for 

favorable outcomes.
