Life is like balloons.

If you never let yourself go

You will never know 

how far you can rise.

In temples you find religion, 

but in hearts you find God.

"If you have 

good thoughts 

they will shine 

out of your face 

like sunbeams 

and you will 

always look lovely."

A doctor once told me 

I feel too much. 

I said, so does god. 

that’s why you can see 

the grand canyon 

from the moon.”

Waikiki Forever

A  L  O  H  A !

 20th Century Waikiki

Tomorrow will never call 

to ask your opinion; 

you don't control it. 

Stop allowing today's 

possibilities to be robbed by 

tomorrow's insecurities.     

                  Steve Maraboli

 Waikiki 21st Century

Every tomorrow is an outcome 

of what I do today, and 

the beauty of it all is that 

today is happening all the time.

Waikiki Tomorrow

Tomorrow belongs to those

Open Secret

A  L  O  H  A !

This is the  real secret of life

to be completely engaged 

with what you are doing

in the here and now.

And instead of calling it work

realize it is play.

When fears are grounded, 

dreams take flight

The Real Unstoppable

A  L  O  H  A !

Learn to be a “Peaceful Warrior.” 

Treat people with kindness, and 

give them a reason and 

a way to say “yes,”

                  Carine Strom Clark

Nature gives you the face

you have at twenty; it is 

up to you to merit the 

face you have at fifty.

            Coco Chanel 

Honolulu, 28 June 7:30 pm, 2019 

I have always wanted to know what was real, how things really are, and what matters. 

Now that I have had the privilege of living over half a century, I realize that this is the time to fully be the person, friend, and influence, that I have been in training my whole life to become. 

It's easy to win an argument, 
lob a remark like a hand grenade, 
and then retreat to the comfort
 of familiar prejudices. 

It is much harder to reach out i
n sincerity to your neighbor 
and find solutions together.
 Just being kind is the first step. 
 I invite you to join me...

Fleeting Impressions

A  L  O  H  A !

 Honolulu June 28 7:06pm HST

The way we experience 

the world around us

is a direct reflection of 

the world within us. 

     Gabrielle Bernstein

Honorable consolation results in a cure. 

And whatever has uplifted the soul, 

helps the body also. 

                             Seneca

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be 

a painter because you can invent things. 

But in photography everything is so ordinary; 

it takes a lot of looking before you learn 

to see the extraordinary. 

                     David Bailey

꣹꣹꣹꣹꣹꣹

Be the one

who is not

lost in thought,

aware of the moment,

fully alive and present.

It's a rarefied atmosphere

like climbing tall mountains.

Because it's there.

Right here.

 With flowers the sex is 

up-front and x-rated. 

 Harold Davis, 

Photographing Flowers: Exploring Macro Worlds with Harold Davis

Turtle Tiles on the Pool Bottom

 I am a product of long corridors, 

empty sunlit rooms, 

upstairs indoor silences, 

attics explored in solitude, 

distant noises of gurgling cisterns 

and pipes, and the noise of 

wind under the tiles. Also, 

of endless books.

              C. S. Lewis

One of the most attractive things 
about the flowers is 
their beautiful reserve.
Henry David Thoreau

A morning glory at my window 

satisfies me more than 

the metaphysics of books.

A candle is a small thing. 

But one candle can light another.

And see how its own light increases, 

as a candle gives its flame to the other.

You 

are such a light.
