Autumn Hints Waikiki Edition

A L O H A !

 

All Nature Heeds Changing Seasonality

" Delicious autumn! 

My very soul is

 wedded to it, 

and if I were a bird

 I would fly about the earth 

seeking the successive

 autumns. "

                          George Eliot

Summer's Overload of Rioting Vitality has Moved On

" Life passes quickly by.  

It seems an art 

to flow with it, 

to accept what it is, 

rather than to fight the tide.  

There is no time 

for the madness. "

                        Sandy Carlson

" In the long run, 

we shape our lives, 

and we shape 

ourselves. "

                       Eleanor Roosevelt

Dare with me

to take a bow

for your

choices!

We are too focused

on measuring

how far we have

to go.

 Let's share a moment

to enjoy

the harvests

we've earned.

Hooray for US!

Beauty in the Walking in the Beauty

“But the beauty 

is in the walking -

- we are betrayed 

by destinations.”

"Friendship with ones self 
is all important, 
because without it 
one cannot be friends 
with anyone else in the world."
Eleanor Roosevelt

"Those that are a friend 

to themselves

 are sure to be 

a friend to all."

Seneca

What is the sound of Cloud Hands clapping?

"If life 

were predictable 

it would cease 

to be life..."

              Eleanor Roosevelt

"The secret to happiness 

is to put the 

burden of proof 

on unhappiness."  

              Robert Brault

I'm timid.

Now I'm strong enough

to accept that.

No more covering it up

with boldness.

So I am free

to share with You

a fear talisman

that works for me;

It is called:

Today Is Not The Day

Today is not the day.

That thing you most fear

will not be coming today;

Salutations and

burden of proof

upon ye!

Forever is comprised

of Now

riding the rail of your 

"Fate"

so to speak,

growing so wise

the truth is a squeak;

But I can perceive it

beneath world's din

tune out the inessential

-Believe-

and move right in.

Thank YOU

for visiting today!

Hot Hazy Days in Hawaii

A  L  O  H  A !

" By all these lovely tokens 

September days are here, 

With summer's best of weather 

And autumn's best of cheer. "

                            Helen Hunt Jackson

Salt & Sea Spray are visible in the rays of the setting sun

Northern Bloggers are posting

 crisp blue skies. Soon 

we'll see their pumpkins, 

frost, flamboyant 

Autumn leaves. 

We feel the pleasure 

of our friends Down Under, 

as they enter Spring

and sing of her 

glories in flowers, 

birds and vistas.

But as Sun  departs

or rushes to you

she lingers over

Hawaii's Sub-Tropical

location.

These are hot hazy days,

warmer than our 

Summer was.

Trade Winds are OFF

as we dream of breezy

sunny winter ahead!

These afternoons are 

best spent in the shade.

Surf to soothe 

at dawn and dusk!

Thank YOU

so much for visiting!
