To See It All

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Frank C. Judd Mini Park Link

The rule is you have to dance
a little bit in the morning
before you leave the house
because it changes the way
you walk out in the world.
    Sandra Bullock





Yes, I'm in a hurry, I'm rushing to live with the intensity that only maturity can give. I don't mean to waste any of the leftover sweets. I'm sure these will be delicious, a lot more than the ones I've eaten so far...





...My goal is to reach a satisfied
and peaceful end with my
loved ones and my conscience.
We have two lives and the
second one starts when you
realize you only have one.
    Mario of Andrade

The key to happiness

You don't need to understand
the people you love.
To be near them
and love them
is enough.

Today's photos were shot with my new camera: Google's Pixel 6 Pro Phone.

"The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have the same main wide-angle cameras and ultrawide cameras. The Pro adds a 4x telephoto lens. In traditional camera lens terms, they have focal length equivalents of 16mm, 25mm and 104mm, said Alex Schiffhauer, the Pixel product manager who oversees hardware. That's 0.7x, 1x and 4x in the camera interface." cnet Link







Proximity and closeness
are not the same.

Sunshine Granted

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I only deepen the
wound of the world when
I neglect to give thanks
for early light dappled
through leaves...
  the rain that falls and
all the good things -
  Ann Voskamp










 The most liberating thing
about beauty is realizing
you are the beholder.
Salma Hayek












Reflection of a Tail
Anything can be taken
out of context and
anything you say or do
is not necessarily
an accurate reflection of
who you are in your totality.
Sam Levinson




On this day in 2017, Pixie wanted to
come into the warm N. Calif. house!
Neither of us will EVER
take the SUNSHINE
for granted!

Eggs Have No Business

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The most grown-up
emotions are
happy and sad
at the same time;






- they come tinted with
both appreciation
and sorrow.
 David Brooks






This bird caught my eye.
So many orange petals!
I picked my way
through shrubbery
to get this shot.
I never tire of these flowers.
Hope you don't.







One does not become
enlightened by imagining
figures of light,
but by making the
darkness conscious.
     Jung


The bridges that you cross
before you come to them
are over rivers
that aren't there.
   Gene Brown






Eggs have no business
dancing with stones. Haitian Proverb

Here Now Here When

A L O H A From Honolulu!


You can walk in a dream

while you are awake:





- Just walk in the
misty morning
of a forest!
 Mehmet Murat ildan














No culture can live
if it attempts to
be exclusive.
 Mahatma Gandhi







Here Is Now.
As Well As Then.

This Moment is
Always Within You.
Present.

The Kingdom
While Not in Space
or Time
Permeates Them Both.

Breathe.







Why is the silence

of cats so full?

Too Many Rainbows

A L O H A From Honolulu!
I've begun to realize that
you can listen to silence
and learn from it.
It has a quality and a
dimension all its own.
Chaim Potok






My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music,
and silence.

You've got to be noisy
and colorful and lively.

chance to shut up.

Unconditional

A L O H A From Honolulu!


I believe that
unarmed truth and
unconditional love will
have the final word in reality.
This is why right,
temporarily defeated, is
stronger than evil triumphant.
   Martin Luther King, Jr.





It was the bumble bee
and the butterfly
who survived,
not the dinosaur.
  Meridel Le Sueur








I think modern medicine
has become like a prophet
offering a life free of pain.
It is nonsense.
The only thing I know
that truly heals people
is unconditional love.
   Elisabeth Kubler-Ross








But groundless hope,
like unconditional love,
is the only kind
worth having.
John Perry Barlow
