Hiding Secret Girl

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Your smile.

is the ultimate

golden dream.

    Sanober Khan

We love the imperfect 

shapes in nature and 

in the works of art, look 

for an intentional error 

as a sign of the golden 

key and sincerity. . .

 Dejan Stojanovic

Sometimes the streets 

are so quiet that you don't 

want to move and 

break that silence; and 

you stand in a corner and 

listen to the silence 

in admiration!

 Mehmet Murat ildan

Where's Pixie?

A friend is a beloved mystery; 

dearest always because 

(s)he is not ourself, and 

has something inside

 which it is impossible 

for us to fathom. . .

Learning to ignore things is 

one of the great paths 

to inner peace.

All fruit grows 

through abiding, 

not striving. 

Bill Johnson

To bear trials with a calm mind 

robs misfortune of its 

strength and burden.

The measure of wisdom is 

how calm you are when 

facing any given situation.

Life and the world

are an arena of

activity.

Complete resolution

of everything

is not meant to be

for now.

But resolution and rest

can be yours

even in the thick of it.

Minute to minute,

walk in peace.

Love You,

Pixie & Cloudia

Note: The outdoor cat above may well be Pixie's cousin, as Islands are insular, and cats are prime colonizers. Cute ones, but tell that to the indigenous birds! Hawaii has no wild turkeys. Even before the cats got here!

Rose Hearted

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If you only walk 

on sunny days 

you'll never reach 

your destination. 

    Paulo Coelho

Sound body, serene mind,

smiling face and sensible

Whenever you are pensive. 

Just calm your heart

Freshly

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

A fresh mind keeps 

the body fresh. 

Take in the ideas of the day, 

drain off those of yesterday. 

As to the morrow, time enough 

to consider it when 

it becomes today. 

    Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

This is the first,

the wildest and the wisest

thing I know: that the

soul exists and is built

entirely out of attentiveness.

Humility is really important 

because it keeps you 

fresh and new.

One new feature 

or fresh take can 

change everything.

Whatever you focus 

your attention on 

will become important 

to you even if 

it's unimportant.

Sonya Parker

Very little is needed 

to make a happy life; 

it is all within yourself, 

in your way of thinking. 

  Marcus Aurelius

 Only as one is willing 

to give up present 

limitations and identity 

can one become that 

which one desires 

to be.

   Neville Goddard

The smallest feline 

is a masterpiece.

Leonardo da Vinci

It is so self evident

yet strangely shocking

to reflect on these

unprecedented times.

Normal is gone and buried.

Even as we simulate

and try to resurrect it.

So, fellow creatures of habit.

What do we do now?

No one knows.

Admitting that is important,

bringing a weird relief.

One sways between

joy in small returns,

and awful recognition

that things, that we,

will never be as we were.

What sprouts ahead is

unknown but worth it.

We made it,

you and I.

Wiser. Resigned.

Reborn.

Glad to see you here

on the other side.

Go gently.

"[In the aftermath of death] 

Small talk feels too small, 

big talk too enormous."

Gifts Of 2020

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Heartache purged

layers of baggage

I didn’t know I carried.

Gifts hide under the

layers of grief.

Shauna L Hoey

I Love Motorcycles & Those Who Ride
From The Bottom of my Lumpy Cloud Heart

You can either

ride the wave or

suck the surf.

Joe Caruso

You ride out the downturn

and you're usually

rewarded in the end.
