Mind's Own Place

"Years Ago"

One day I met a maiden 

with honey-colored hair

There never was a maiden 

so beautiful somewhere.

          Jimmie Rodgers

The timeless in you 

is aware of life's 

timelessness.

Kahlil Gibran

Guides come when 

you're ready to listen; 

no eBay or Amazon link 

will fetch them. 

You need to invite, 

not pursue.

    Helen S. Rosenau

Honolulu Mayor is 

persona no grata at

shuttered bars.

The hotel bar was 

quiet and dark, with 

the kind of mood that 

promotes good talk 

and serious drinking.

 George R.R. Martin

The mind is 

its own place, and 

in itself can make 

a heaven of hell, 

a hell of heaven.

Coming

 A   L   O   H   A  !

Don't ask 

what the world needs. 

Ask what makes you come 

alive, and go do it. -

- Because 

what the world needs is 

people who have come alive.     

    Howard Thurman

When you taste 

super-success after 

tasting super-failure, 

there is huge relief.     

Akshay Kumar

There are some things 

you learn best in calm,

and some in storm.

            Willa Cather

Don't give up 

when dark times come. 

The more storms 

you face in life, the 

stronger you'll be. 

Hold on. 

Your greater is coming.

Our eternal 

message of hope is 

that dawn will come.     

Martin Luther King Jr.

Work Boat Zipping on the Ala Wai Canal

Be patient 

where you sit 

in the dark. 

The dawn is coming.     

Rumi

Night never had 

the last word. 

The dawn is always 

invincible.     

Hugh B. Brown

All humans realize 

they are loved when 

witnessing the dawn; 

early morning is the 

triumph of good over evil. 

Absolved by light 

we decide to go on.

Light is where

The Angels lurk.

New beginnings

Made fresh daily!

When you get into 

a tight place and everything 

goes against you, till it seems 

as though you could not 

hang on a minute longer, 

never give up then, 

- for that is just the 

place and time that 

the tide will turn.

Going To Be SOME Light

I Never Tire Of Oahu Mornings

Forever is 

composed of nows.

                     Emily Dickinson

My Candidate & New Friends!  ⬈

No one seems to have the 

definitive origin story

of this custom, but in Hawaii candidates

for political office & reelection take to the 

intersections and byways of their islands

with friends and supporters to hold signs,

and wave SHAKAs Link.  As a former street

outreach worker in public health, I have

tons of skills for engaging strangers in public.

I'm not afraid to shake that. . . 

sign, and dance about.

After months spent at home, 

or my exotic vay-cay

to the grocery store en-masque, 

it was actually

a bit TOO much fun.

Happiness, 

not in another place 

but this place,

not for another hour, 

but this hour.

  Walt Whitman

It is only through shadows 

that one comes to 

know the light.
