Honolulu Streets and Pets

 A   L   O   H   A  !

Before you can follow 

your own drummer, 

you have to hear 

the drummer.

      Srikumar Rao






Dogs are small

rays of light

caught on earth

for a short time

to brighten our days.








Click on photo to see determination

When you get into 

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.

     Harriet Beecher Stowe











When you get older 

you keep warm with 

the wood you gathered 

as a youth.

      Bambara Proverb






Storms draw something out of us 

that calm seas don't.

Some Paddle

 A   L   O   H   A  !

You can't live a perfect day 

without doing something 

for someone who will 

never be able to repay you.

           John Wooden







Plumeria, usually a child's first Lei

E lei kau, e lei ho‘oilo i ke aloha. 

Love is worn like a lei 

through the winter. 









He ho'okele wa'a no ka la 'ino.

 "A steersman for a stormy day."

I pray for President Biden

🛶

The canoe stands for the island, 

the community. Some steer, 

some paddle, and some 

only ride along. 

On islands, in 

small communities,

where people know 

one another,

we must paddle together 

if we want to get anywhere.

Those who do not 

believe in the voyage, 

are not forced to paddle.

But, being a 

beloved community,

they too will share the 

benefits

of the voyage.

The door is always open,

to join instead of jeer.
  










Industry, economy, 

honesty, and kindness 

form a quartet of virtues 

that will never be 

improved upon.

           James Oliver



















Hearts rebuilt from hope 

resurrect dreams 

killed by hate.

     Aberjhani


True friends are those 
who lift you up
when your heart's wings 
forget how to fly.

Rainbow

 A   L   O   H   A  !

Clever Am I!

If you have a minute

I'll run through

some color tricks

for you!






It's not that easy bein' green

Having to spend each day

The color of the leaves

When I think it could be nicer

Bein' red or yellow or gold

Or something much 

more colorful like that






It's not easy bein' green

It seems you blend in

With so many other 

ordinary things

And people tend to 

pass you over

Cause you're not 

standing out

Like flashy sparkles 

in the water

Or stars in the sky





But green's the 

color of spring

And green can be cool 

and friendly like

And green can be big 

like a mountain

Or important like a river 

or tall like a tree








When green is all 

there is to be

It could make you 

wonder why

But, why wonder? 

(why wonder?)

I'm green and 

it'll do fine

It's beautiful. And 

I think it's what 

I want to be.

Lyrics By Jim Henson
& The Muppets

Orchids Run Wild

 A   L   O   H   A  !


Light, God's 

eldest daughter, 

is a principal beauty 

in a building.

    Thomas Fuller








These are cultivated, but orchids 
DO run wild in Hawaii

Like wildflowers; 

You must allow 

yourself to grow in 

all the places people 

thought you never would.
 
            E.V.















Children will listen to you 

after they feel listened to.

Jane Nelsen














"Dogs Can Suck It!" Ducks are tough!

Hell, there are 

no rules here; 

We're trying to 

accomplish something.

    Thomas Edison











When life gives you lemons, 

squirt someone in the eye.

          Cathy Guiswite

The Greater Part

 A   L   O   H   A  !


Dad always insisted

that he remembered

the first thing he ever saw:

"I was in my crib, 
opened my eyes,
and saw a telephone pole
outside the window."

Appropriate for a city boy.










But we teased him 

about the entire premise. 

How could anyone have 

a memory like that?














Now that Dad has passed on

by several winters, I find myself

perversely glad that he did not

have to live through a 

world wide pandemic.

WWII was enough 

global disruption

for any life. 

His story?

Oh I believe it now. 

Or perhaps

I just believe

the memory itself.














"Love leaves a memory 

no one can steal."

A Headstone in Ireland







































Thanks to a benevolent 

arrangement of things, 

the greater part of

life is sunshine.

          Thomas Jefferson
