Even Tides

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

The aim is to burn through

 to first thoughts, 

to the place where energy is 

unobstructed by 

social politeness or 

the internal censor, 

to the place where

 you are writing 

what your mind 

actually sees and feels,

 not what it thinks 

it should 

see or feel.

Natalie Goldberg

 Joy has to do with 

seeing how big, 

how completely unobstructed, 

and how precious things are. -

- Resenting what happens to you 

and complaining about your life 

are like refusing to smell 

the wild roses when you 

go for a morning walk, 

Pema Chödrön

Then the magicians

said to Pharaoh,

“This is the finger of God.”

But Pharaoh’s heart was

hardened, and he did not

listen to them...

Exodus 8:19

EVENTIDE

Dark and light

striking

each other,

vividly etching wild colors

through the horizon.

The charm of sunset

makes me want

to scurry home.

Fielding Joy

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

We delight in the beauty 

of the butterfly, but 

rarely admit the changes

it has gone through to 

achieve that beauty.

                             Maya Angelou

Plumeria

- 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. . .

. . .That is home. 

That is happiness.

 Herman Hesse, Bäume

Golden Trumpet Tree

The tree which moves some 

to tears of joy is in the eyes

 of others only a green thing

 that stands in the way. 

 William Blake

Canoe Fleet Heading Right

With one foot in the canoe, 

and one foot on shore, 

you are sure to fall 

into the river.

Tuscarora proverb

Fields Of Fur

I don't care who 

scores the goals, 

I'm going to leave my 

human beingness 

on the field!

Back Better To Life

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Slowly, 

with many lost days, 

I come back to life.

     Suzanne Collins

But sometimes, 

and totally unexpectedly, 

something can go right.

 Leila Sales

Anyone can shoot chaos.

But the most perceptive

photographers can

make compelling pictures

out of uninteresting

moments.

You should 

do what you can to 

enjoy every moment.

There are no bad pictures;

that’s just how

your face

looks sometimes.

To Yourself

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every face, every shop,

bedroom window,

public-house, and

dark square is a picture

feverishly turned--

in search of what?

Virginia Woolf

Have some courage, 

because even a 

harvest mouse leaves 

his hole to discover 

new places!

 Mehmet Murat ildan

The key to being a 

prolific discoverer is to 

take the routes that 

few have traveled.

 Steven Magee

And notice what no one else has

 on the common daily routes!

Gas bubbles in the hot lava create the holes, Long, ropy pours

of some lava create these lines, like cake batter.

The first is A`a, the bottom: Pahoehoe. Link

Leave no "full stop"

 in between the sentences 

that make up your life story. 

If anything,  let "commas" show 

that when you were brought 

down by challenges, 

you rose up with passion 

and moved on again!

 Israelmore Ayivor

Roads are long;

make them short

with a good company!

Mehmet Murat ildan

And BE good company

to yourself!
