Even if I knew that tomorrow 

the world would go to pieces, 

I would still plant my apple tree.

    Martin Luther








When we have learned how 

to listen to trees, then the 

brevity and the quickness and 

the childlike hastiness 

of our thoughts achieve 

an incomparable joy. 


      Herman Hesse













"Yearn"











Life does not come with 

instructions on how to live, 

but it does come with trees, 

sunsets, smiles and laughter, 

so enjoy your day. 

Debbie Shapiro

Flowers in Waikiki [My Blogging Secret]

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
Peace Lily

Peace and lilies

Lilies and Peace

A Block from my home.

Walk with me:

Waikiki!












Blue Ginger

A friend is one who overlooks 

your broken fence and 

admires the flowers 

in your garden.

Anonymous 

Did NOT notice the temporary fence &  sign
in the background of the shot
until I placed THIS quote!  Typical
of the way this blog happens
on a daily basis: Inspiration!
Sometimes, it is not till I
read it later that I see
WHY a particular quote
works with an image.



No matter how many 

mistakes you have made, 

how slow the progress, 

you are still way ahead 

of everyone who 

isn’t trying. 

So keep going!

     Tony Robbins










A Pocket Sunburst To Contemplate & Enjoy

I like gardening, it’s a place 

where I find myself when 

I need to lose myself.

 Alice Sebold











If you look the right way, 

you can see that 

the whole world 

is a garden.

      Frances Hodgson Burnett









We know nothing of tomorrow; 

our business is to be 

good and happy today.

Renaissance Choices

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Hope may seem a fragile thing. 

Until you really hear it sing.















Say what you see. 

Don't see what you say.













Why do you care

what someone else

thinks about you?

They know even less

about you than you do!






There are always two paths.

Which one will you walk?



There are always 

two voices speaking. 

Which one will you hear?












Choosing builds 

everything. 

Choices can tear 

everything down. 









Which path will you walk on? 

Which voice will you heed?



Today's post is based

on things that Pixie & I

regularly say to one other

Love You - Good Luck,

Lies Are Fast But Truth At Last

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Waikiki Visitors Returning:

Sometimes your joy 

is the source of your smile, 

but sometimes your smile 

can be the source of your joy.

 Thich Nhat Hanh








A change of feeling 

is change of destiny. 

All creation occurs in the 

domain of the subconscious.

Neville Goddard







We are the thoughts 

we choose to keep.

    A.D. Posey







Those who know 

how to share love are 

constantly advancing 

into the springtime 

of their youth. 

Swedenborg














Lies spread fast. 

Lucky the truth speaks last!

Our Morning After

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Ducks

Be willing to be a beginner 

every single morning.

 Meister Eckhart











The longest way 

must have its close - 

the gloomiest night 

will wear on to 

a morning.

Harriet Beecher Stowe













Work hard,

keep the ceremonies,
live peacefully,
and unite your hearts.
Hopi Proverb





My New Friend Reetha

Did you ever take a street
[or beach] photo, edit it
fast, and go offer it
to the subject?

Reetha was very gracious
with a smile that shines.
I teed up the shot in a text
and she sent it to herself
from my phone.

"You should move here!"
I said, transfixed by her
bright face and
Aloha manner.

"Maybe I will!"

"Well, you have my number
with your photo, so call
me if you need anything."





From far, from 

eve and morning,

And yon twelve-winded sky,

This stuff of life to knit me

Blew hither: 

here am I.

E. M. Forster
