A L O H A From Honolulu!

Although the world

is full of suffering,

it is also full of

the overcoming of it.

Helen Keller

It is easier to achieve

a desired result in

short pieces.

Ua ola no i ka pane a ke aloha

There is life in a kindly reply.

If you flew high enough

you could always

find the sun.

I'd woken up early,

and I took a long time

getting ready to exist.

Sometimes I Think

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sometimes I think

there are only two

instructions we need

to follow to develop

and deepen our

spiritual life:

slow down and let go.

Oriah Mountain Dreamer

We live at the edge of

the miraculous.

Henry Miller

Persevere. There is

one dandelion that

grows from the crack

in the cement.

Let that one

dandelion be YOU.

Margaret Aranda

Strelitzia nicolai, commonly known as the giant white bird of paradise or wild banana, is a species of banana-like plants with erect woody stems reaching a height of 6 m (20 ft), and the clumps formed can spread as far as 3.5 m (11 ft).

The 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in)-long leaves are grey-green and arranged like a fan at the top of the stems, similar to Ravenala madagascariensis. The entire flower can be as much as 18 cm (7.1 in) high by 45 cm (18 in) long, and is typically held just above the point where the leaf fan emerges from the stem.

One does not discover

new lands without

consenting to lose

sight of the shore

for a very long time.

Andre Gide

Inconvenience is

an adventure

wrongly considered.

Penultimate Day of September

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Our worries always

come from our weaknesses...

Strong people can

always afford to be gentle,

only the weak are

intent on

FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE...

I would rather have a

big burden or hardship,

but have a strong back,

than turning everything

topsy-turvy and a mess.
   Napz Cherub Pellazo

Maturity of mind

is the capacity

to endure

Uncertainty.

John Finley

If life were

predictable

it would cease

to be life, and

be without flavor. Eleanor Roosevelt

During periods of

root expansion

things have always

looked as

confused and

topsy-turvy

and purposeless as

they do now.

The whole Renaissance

is supposed to have

resulted from the

topsy-turvy feeling

caused by Columbus'

discovery

of a new world.

It just

shook people up.

Up Looking

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Become the person
your younger self would
want to look up to
Goitsemang Mvula

While we are sleeping,
angels have conversations
with our souls.
A. Nony Mouse

Our green valleys will be
greener once we fully grasp
the infinite vitality

Much of spiritual life
is self-acceptance,
maybe all of it.
Jack Kornfield,

Every time it feels like
the world is out of control,
all I have to do is look up,
and I remember there is an
order to everything. There is
someone bigger than
my problems, bigger than anything
that can happen in this world.
And because of that, I can
breathe a sigh of relief.
Morgan L. Busse

Sweet Tuesday

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You are allowed to be both

a masterpiece and

a work in progress

simultaneously.

Kindred spirits are not

as scarce as I used to think

Anne Shirley

Sometimes I think

there are only two

instructions we need to

follow to develop and deepen

our spiritual life:

slow down and let go.

Reach for the stars;

you might just catch one. Lori Greiner

My garden does not whet the appetite; it satisfies it. . . slakes it by proffering its natural remedy. Amid such pleasures as these have I grown old. Epicurus
