Strolling in Waikiki

A  L  O  H  A !

A Smile as Bright as Birds

" As long as you smile,

 have sparkly eyes 

and stick your 

shoulders back, 

nobody's going to

 notice 

your bum 

or your waist 

or your feet, 

for that matter. "

Cat Deeley 

In the Wake of a Bride 

look at the two photogs fore & aft;,

and the guy looking at us

" Let's have some 

new cliches. "

Samuel Goldwyn 

" Before death 
takes away 
what you are 
given, 
give away 
what there is 
to give. "

Rumi

Shame Shame - Go Away

A  L  O  H  A !

" The books 
that the world calls 
immoral 
are books that 
show the world 
its own shame. "

Oscar Wilde 

" What do you regard 

as most humane? 

To spare someone 

shame. "

Friedrich Nietzsche 

"The only shame is to have none."

Blaise Pascal

" It is the false shame 

of fools 

to try to conceal 

wounds 

that have not 

healed. "

Horace

vxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvxvx

Shame is a lousy teacher. 

All you remember

is the humiliation;

Overshadowing

any other learning

in the life and heart

of the learner.

What shame do you still carry?

That is a worthwhile question.

You may not wish to share it

but self - honesty

is the road to Your 

Freedom; And Power.

When You See an Ant

A  L  O  H  A !

" Give me a smart idiot 

over a stupid genius 

any day. "

Samuel Goldwyn 

" My grandmother is over 80 

and still doesn't need glasses.

She drinks right out of the bottle. "

 Henny Youngman

“An ant on the move 

does more 

than a dozing ox.”

 Lao Tzu 

          -o,,o,,o'

Consider the Ant- 

In a clever new study, 

patient scientists placed Bar Codes

on more than 1,000 carpenter ants

then used high-resolution infrared 

cameras to monitor the ants.

No one knew before

that ants change jobs

at different stages of life!

Young ants are nursemaids to

the larvae and pupae.

Middle aged ants, patrol the colony

to keep it in working order,

they are police,

and civil engineers.

Do the seniors have a job?

YES! Indeed they do.

Alessandro Crespi of the 

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology

says: 

"The most dangerous job

is foraging, as it requires leaving the

nest for the outside world. That's a

job for the oldest ants."

So
if you see an ant
it is a seasoned
senior!

Realize Today

A  L  O  H  A !

" What a wonderful life I've had! 

I only wish 

I'd realized it sooner. "

Colette

" Precisely the least, 

the softest, 

lightest, 

a lizard's rustling, 

a breath, a flash, 

a moment - 

a little -

makes the way 

of the best happiness. "

Friedrich Nietzsche 

“ Reject your sense of injury 

and the injury itself disappears.”

 Marcus Aurelius

You May Be an Empath If

A  L  O  H  A !

YOU may be an Empath if you -

Just know stuff, without being told. It’s a knowing that goes beyond intuition or gut feelings. You just know it.


Being in public places can be overwhelming: Places where there are lots of people around can fill the empath with turbulent emotions from others.

 
Watching violence, cruelty or tragedy on the TV is unbearable. Empaths may stop following the daily news/politics.

 You know when someone is not being honest.


You're always looking out for the underdog: Anyone who is suffering, in emotional pain, or being bullied draws your attention and compassion.

Others will want to offload their problems on you, even strangers

Often fatigued from all the inner processing?

Addictive personality, to block out the emotions of others. 
 A form of self protection. Sorry
 

Drawn to healing, holistic therapies and all things metaphysical. Anything of a supernatural nature is of interest to empaths and they don’t surprise or get shocked easily. Even at the revelation of what many others would consider unthinkable.
 

Creative: singing, dancing, acting, drawing or writing.



Love of nature and animals: Being outdoors in nature is a must for empaths and pets are an essential part of their life.
 

Need for solitude: An empath is not happy without quiet time. 

 You get bored or distracted easily and end up daydreaming or doodling.
 

It is almost impossible to do things they don’t enjoy. You may be labelled lazy.

 
You strive for the truth. Anything untruthful feels plain wrong.
 

Always looking for the answers and knowledge. The downside to this is an information overload.


 Empaths are free spirits.
 

Abhor clutter: It makes an empath feel weighed down.


Anything that takes away your freedom is debilitating.

You love to learn and know about others and genuinely care.
 

Intolerance to narcissism: Although kind and often very tolerant of others, empaths do not like to be around overly egotistical people, who put themselves first and refuse to consider others feelings or points of view.
 

Do you feel the days of the week: An empath will get the ‘Friday Feeling’ whether they work Fridays or not. 

You pick up on how the collective are feeling. The first couple of days of a long, bank holiday weekend (Easter for example) can feel, to them, like the world is smiling, calm and relaxed. Sunday evenings, Mondays and Tuesdays, of a working week, have a very heavy feeling.
 

You do not choose to buy vintage or second-hand: Anything that’s been pre-owned carries the energy of the previous owner. An empath will even prefer to have a brand new car or house (if in the financial situation to do so) with no residual energy. 


Can appear moody, shy, aloof, disconnected

If you can say yes to most or all of the above then you are probably an empath

Me Too!

 

Thanks

 for coming to our 

Saturday empath party today.
