Turn To Shine

A L O H A From Honolulu!

At any moment,

you have a choice,

that either leads you

closer to your spirit or

further away from it.

   Thich Nhat Hanh

When we are mindful,

deeply in touch with

the present moment,

our understanding of

what is going on

deepens,

and we begin to be

filled with acceptance,

joy, peace and love.

       Thich Nhat Hanh

Light & Light

One is sleeping.

Waiting

for her turn

to shine!

We are all like poems.

some of us rhyme.

some don’t.

some are

Pulitzer prizes

some are

just scribbles

and yet,

we all possess

a special kind

of beauty

  Sanober Khan

Home is where

we tie one end of

the thread of life.

From inside your Spirit,

You are Love. Amaka Imani Nkosazana

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Your authenticity is the only

option one has for

survival on this planet.

Billy Porter

There are three constants

in life... 

change, choice and principles. 

Stephen Covey

Every reaction is an opportunity

to cultivate a pearl -

a beautiful truth that

will illuminate

the way forwards.

     Pollyanna Darling

Good Fortune Reminder

 

When you go home,

fill the house with joy

so that the light of it

will stream out the

windows and doors

and illuminate even

the darkness.

Simply Say

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You make your life hard

by always being

in your head.

Life is simple,

get out of your head

and get into the moment.

"Why are you so nice

even to people who

are rude to you?"

- "Because I, too, have

been rude to nice people,

& I know that rudeness

comes from a place of

roaring pain. & only

kindness soothes it."

  Bibhudatta Tripathy

I follow three rules:

Do the right thing,

do the best you can, and

always show people you care. 

     Lou Holtz

If someone gives you something,

be it money, a compliment, or

a gift, say Thank You sincerely.

Respect their intention.

Don't stammer, don't refuse,

don't deflect. Look them

in the eye and say

"Thank You."

The love for all

living creatures is

the most noble

attribute of man.

Higher Each Go Round

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life doesn't have to

be perfect

it just has to

be lived.

  Dexter Morgan

The grotto itself comprises

its own slick universe,

and inside this universe

spin countless galaxies:

here, in the upturned half

of a single mussel shell,

lives a barnacle and a

tiny spindle shell

occupied by a still

smaller hermit crab.

And on the shell

of the crab?

A yet smaller barnacle.

And on that barnacle?
 Anthony Doerr

The stars are the land-marks

of the universe.

Sir John Frederick William Herschel

Sometimes we feel like

we're just going around

again. . . 

. . . But

we are higher each go,

and closer to what

we're aiming at.

Trust your intuition.

When you think of me,

she said quietly 

think of a food

you love very much.

Pleasures Lie Thick

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I saw the lovely arch

Of rainbow span the sky,

- The gold sun burning

As the rain swept by.

   Elizabeth Coatsworth,

                                  "November"

 

Ipomoea Obscura, Obscure Morning Glory

Even if something

is left undone, everyone

must take time to sit still and

watch the leaves turn.

  Elizabeth Lawrence

Pleasures lie thickest

where no pleasures seem:

There's not a leaf that falls

upon the ground

But holds some joy of

silence or of sound,

Some spirits begotten

of a summer dream.

   Laman Blanchard

The wild gander leads his flock

through the cool night, Ya-honk! he says,

and sounds it down to me

like an invitation: The pert may suppose

it meaningless, but

I listen closer, I find its purpose

and place up there

toward the November sky.

Walt Whitman,

Leaves of Grass, 1855

November always seemed to me

the Norway of the year.

Emily Dickinson

Show Them Appreciation

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Recognition is

a reward in itself. . .

. . . Any form of
appreciation,
even a small word,
is important. 
Vikrant Massey

Nature's beauty is a gift

that cultivates appreciation

and gratitude.

Louie Schwartzberg

Respect... is

appreciation of the

separateness of

the other person,

of the ways in which he

or she is unique.

  Annie Gottlieb

What we all have

in common is an

appreciation of kindness

and compassion;

all the religions

have this.

We all lean

towards love.

    Richard Gere
