Ride Repeat Ride

A  L  O  H  A !
Keep walking, despite the 

impediment most heavy - 

keep walking, despite the 

agony most torturous - 

keep walking, despite the 

mockery most foul - 

just keep walking, 

for, your walk counts – 

for, your walk is not 

just your walk, but 

the walk of our 

whole humanity.

          Abhijit Naskar














Although our intellect 

always longs for 

clarity and certainty, 

our nature often finds 

uncertainty fascinating. 

     Carl von Clausewitz














Do not despise your 

own place and hour. 

Every place is 

under the stars, 

every place is the 

center of the world. 

    John Burroughs












Some Have Been Pro-Duck-Tive!
Together we can 

face any challenges 

as deep as the ocean 

and as high 

as the sky. 

   Sonia Gandhi












Grab a drink,

a few friends,

and go for a 

socially distant 

walk!











Or Not!


ⳢⲊ

One of the lessons 
of riding on two wheels 
is about obstacles in the road. 
We tend to focus on obstacles. 
But we go where we look
and it draws us right to them. 

Notice obstacles yes, but 
do not dwell on them. 
Set your face to the open path 
and the place you want to go 
and soon the obstacle 
will be behind you. 
Ride repeat ride and you get 
to your destination.
Ride On!

Love You!

Sunday Ride Manoa

A  L  O  H  A !
King Lunalilo Elementary School. 
HRH watching Over Manoa Valley &
Waikiki, originally one Ahupua`a 
                            Link

"Lunalilo was the sixth monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii from his election on January 8, 1873, until his death a year later. He was of chiefly/royal descent and a grandnephew of King Kamehameha I 'The Great' 'Napoleon of the Pacific who unified  the Hawaiian Islands into 
one kingdom."

Same Scene Today: No King

Yet, taught by time, 

my heart has learned 

to glow for other's good, 

and melt at other's woe.

Small doubts little wisdom.

 No tree has branches 

so foolish as to fight 

amongst themselves. 

         Ojibwa Indian Saying






















If history repeats itself, 

I am so getting a dinosaur!

Even being introverts
it is sometimes nice
to get out. The good folks
at Down To Earth
prepared our groceries
and brought them
outside to the car.




We took a brief tour
of our old home of
Manoa Valley. So
many memories!

It was cheap nostalgic
therapy and a drive
on a lovely day.

Happy Father's Day
to them all!

Hope your weekend
was surprised by
some stirrings of
beauty and hope
in this unique time.

Don't Mind Don't Matter

A   L   O   H   A  !
The longer I live the 

more beautiful 

life becomes.

               Frank Lloyd Wright














Of all the 

self-fulfilling prophecies 

in our culture, the 

assumption that aging 

means decline and 

poor health is probably 

the deadliest.

 Marilyn Ferguson































Anyone who keeps 

the ability to see beauty 

never grows old.

  Franz Kafka


Hardly known as a "sunny guy"
his works are Kafkaesque























 Know that you are 

the perfect age. 

Each year is special 

and precious, for you 

shall only live it once. 

Be comfortable 

with growing older. 

Louise Hay

Cat Driving Truck

A  L  O  H  A !
Sometimes when you 

lose your way in the fog, 

you end up in 

a beautiful place! 











- Don’t be afraid 

of getting lost!

Mehmet Murat ildan











She dreamed of driving 

off bridges: into a lake 

beneath some twisting 

highway of her youth. . .

AND 

I have a driver!

Triumph Over Age

A   L   O   H   A  !
Great ideas come 

into the world as 

gently as doves.

Albert Camus















 There is a pleasure

in the pathless woods,

There is a rapture 

on the lonely shore,

There is society, 

where none intrudes,

By the deep Sea, 

and music in its roar:

I love not Man the 

less, but Nature more,

    Lord Byron











There are two kinds of light- 

the glow that illumines, and 

the glare that obscures.

    James Thurber
















A fool judges people 

by the presents 

they give him.

       Chinese Proverb













To keep the heart unwrinkled, 

to be hopeful, kindly, 

cheerful, reverent--that is 

to triumph over old age. 

     Thomas Bailey Aldrich
