Remembers

A L O H A From Honolulu!

To be angry at something 

means you’ve forgotten: 

That everything that 

happens is natural. 

That the responsibility 

is theirs, not yours. 

    Marcus Aurelius

Sour, sweet, bitter, 

pungent, all 

must be tasted. 

Chinese proverb

It is beautiful to talk 

about beautiful things 

and even more beautiful

to silently gaze at them.

 Dejan Stojanovic

Only in the shattering 

can the rebuilding occur.

 Barbara Marciniak

You must stick 

to your conviction, but 

be ready to abandon 

your assumptions. 

Denis Waitley

Ere Responsibility

A L O H A From Honolulu!

So many things   

are unimportant. 

You’re wise 

when you focus on 

the few that truly are. 

Maxime Lagacé

Character — the willingness 

to accept responsibility 

for one’s own life — 

is the source from which 

self-respect springs. 

     Joan Didion

Is There A Dermatologist In The House!?

The greatest gift 

you ever give is 

your honest self.

    Fred Rogers

Crinum asiaticum, 

giant crinum lily, 

grand crinum lily, 

spider lily, buds

[And Below]

Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame. Erica Jong 

The child is in me still 

and sometimes not so still.

Another Shot At Life

A L O H A From Honolulu!

After more than a year 

of lock-down, 

returning aspects of my 

normal life seem 

like a wonderland!

An early-morning walk is 

a blessing for the whole day.

Henry David Thoreau

Ho! Ho! Ho! 

To the bottle I go

To heal my heart 

and drown my woe

Rain may fall, 

and wind may blow

And many miles be still to go

But under a tall tree 

will I lie

            And let the clouds 

[Cloudias]

go sailing by

        J.R.R. Tolkien

  

Hope may seem

a fragile thing.

Until you really

hear it sing.

Given another shot at life,

I would seize every

minute of it …

look at it and really see it …

try it on … live it …

exhaust it …

and never give

that minute back

until there was

nothing left of it.

Erma Bombeck

Glows

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Honolulu, Friday 7:52 p.m.

The sun's glow 

had given way to 

a brilliant twilight that 

colored the great mountains 

with violet and orange rivers.

Michael R. Hicks

White Vinca

If you want to give 

light to others you 

have to glow yourself.

Thomas S. Monson

Pagoda Floating Restaurant Link

Selfie Spaceship

Time, which is so often 

an enemy in life, can 

also become our ally if 

we see how a pale moment 

can lead to a glowing moment, 

and then turn to a moment 

of perfect transparency, 

before dropping again 

to a moment of 

everyday simplicity.

                                           Peter Brook

Bicycle Beneath the Sea

I saw that my life was  a

vast glowing empty page 

and I could do 

anything I wanted.

Jack Kerouac

There are two kinds of light - 

the glow that illuminates, 

and the glare 

that obscures.

James Thurber

Glow Beyond the Fence with Ducks

Shine your light on love 

and truth and 

your soul will glow.

Morning Light Honolulu

A L O H A From Honolulu!

It is early, early morning.

It's that time when it's

still dark but you know

the day is coming.

Blue is bleeding

through black.

Stars are dying.

Markus Zusak

So I find words I never 

thought to speak

In streets I never thought 

I should revisit

When I left my body 

on a distant shore.

T.S. Eliot

During 4 California years,

these are the streets, Trees,

Light, Smells, Sights, and people 

I dreamt of. . . .

Back Door

1916

Hawaii's Queen, Liliuokalani 

was alive

when this was laid.

I walked over it today.

This illustrates the times frame of

our culture and history in the islands.

Driving my taxi here in Honolulu

in the mid 1980s,

I drove a dignified older gentleman

who told me how the Queen

worked in her garden, smoking

small cigars, and graciously

greeting the school children

as they passed, 

Such he had been:

A schoolboy 

who knew a Queen.

The Hawaiian Kingdom

is not merely historic.

For a dark street,

sunshine is most welcome;

for a wounded soul,

love is most welcome!

Mehmet Murat ildan

She is yellow, I'm all blue...

It's ok! What can I do!?

 Liviu C. Tudose

I would never date a lizard OR gecko
 or whatever that thing is.
Keep moving up the wall, buddy,
I'm too yellow for YOU!

Ô, Sunlight! 

The most precious gold 

to be found on Earth.
