Memory Reborn

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The truest test of character

is how we behave when

we don't know what to do.

Stop acting so small.

You are the universe

in ecstatic motion.

What incomes

have we not had

from a flower,

and how unfailing

are the dividends

of the seasons. Henry Ward Beecher 

I fly through memory 

to find a newborn love.

I know not all

that may be coming,

but be it what it will,

I'll go to it laughing.

can change everything.

The greatest power

you possess in life is

your understanding that

life gives you a fresh start

any moment you choose.

The older you get,

the more fragile you

understand life to be.

I think that's good motivation

for getting out of bed 

joyfully each day.

Storms Break

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

For a dark street, sunshine

is most welcome; for

a wounded soul, love

is most welcome!

   Mehmet Murat ildan

The city could still throw shadows

filled with mystifying figures

from its past, whose grip

on the present could be felt

on certain strange days. . .

Christopher Fowler

She sat down in a

weed patch,

her elbows on her knees,

and kept her eyes on the

small mysterious world

of the ground. -

-In the shade and sun

of grass blade forests,

small living things

had their metropolis. Nancy Price

I cannot endure to waste 

anything so precious

as autumnal sunshine

by staying in the house.

Music is the cup that holds

the wine of silence.

Sound is that cup,

but empty.

Noise is that cup,

but broken.

that bothers me. Rather,

it’s the fact that I gave him

a reason to use them.

Sailing A Little

A L O H A From Honolulu!

- the elephants have a secret grave

where they go to lie down,

unburden their wrinkled

gray bodies, and 

soar away, light 

spirits at the end.

A sunset is the sun’s 

fiery kiss to the night.

Sunrise is the start

of something beautiful:

the day.

Sunset is the start

of something beautiful:

the night.

is already sailing a little. Paul Carvel
