Bambusoideae

are a lineage of perennial

forest grasses (Poaceae)

endemic to every continent

except Europe and Antarctica.

They comprise 115 genera and approximately 1450 species

of bamboos.

If we had no winter,

the spring would not

be so pleasant: if

we did not sometimes

taste of adversity,

prosperity would not

be so welcome.

  Ann Bradstreet 

Love tickles

parts of you that,

prior to its influence,

you didn't even

know could feel.

Richelle E. Goodrich

To improve your life:

pay your irritability

no mind. Consider it

a prompt to do or say

something nice instead.

Dolce far niente!

The sweetness

of doing nothing.

Just This

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Walking through

thoughts full of colors.

I function the best

when I don't distinguish

between work and play.

People talk about

entering nirvana, but

we are already there.

Play like a child

and keep the

inner idiots alive.

   Elvis Costello

There is no need to run,

strive, search or struggle.

Just be. Just being

in the moment in

this place is the

deepest practice

of meditation.

Into Which We Were Born

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The longer I live

the more beautiful

life becomes.

               Frank Lloyd Wright

I feel as if

I'm always on the

verge of waking up.

  Fernando Pessoa

Know that you are

the perfect age.-

- Each year is special

and precious, for

you shall only

live it once.

It's never the differences

between people that

surprise us. It's the

things that, against all odds,

we have in common.

     Jodi Picoult

Red Crested Cardinal

A proper lunch

should be spiritually

as well as physically

nourishing. Cozy, convivial,

a treat; lunch is

for loafers.

  Tom Hodgkinson

Do not grow old,

no matter how long you live.

Never cease to stand

like curious children

before the great mystery

into which we were born.

Power

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

The dark does not

destroy the light;

it defines it.

It’s our fear of the

dark that casts our joy

into the shadows.

Brene Brown

We lose ourselves

in the things we love.

We find ourselves

there, too.

 Kristin Martz

 I have the opportunity, 

once more to right 

some wrongs, to pray for 

peace, to plant some trees, 

and sing more joyful songs.

    William Arthur Ward

Take a walk outside –

it will serve you far more

than pacing around

in your mind.

Rasheed Ogunlaru

Words Have Power.

NEVER say anything

that you do NOT

want to be true.

Immediately contradict a

negative with its opposite.

Repeat positive ideas

That you believe in

and they will

fill your life!

That Gentle Attitude

A L O H A From Honolulu!

How you make others 

feel about themselves 

says everything about 

you. 

I'm THAT complicated,

mysterious, yet content

with the "simple"

things in life. Don't

try to understand me;

you won't figure me out.

But you're free to 

like me

the way I am.

  Marwa Ayad

How much the world

needs tenderness today!

  Pope Francis

The flower that blooms

in adversity is the

most rare and

beautiful of all. 

 Mulan

Each friend represents

a world in us, a

world possibly not born

until they arrive, and

it is only by this meeting

that a new world is born.

   Anaïs Nin

Feel so good,

feel so right.

It's not a struggle-

Just a snuggle: That gentle attitude.

Like a Welcome Summer Rain!

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Calmness is the

cradle of power.

  J.G. Holland

Like a welcome

summer rain,

humor may

suddenly cleanse

and cool the earth,

the air and you.

Langston Hughes

Fruits were my candy

as a little girl growing up

in Barbados. I was

surrounded by a variety

of fruit trees: Tamarind,

cherry, mango, dunks,

papaya, guava, pear,

sugar apple, golden apple,

and gooseberry trees. Charmaine J. Forde

 

Callistemon citrinus

Little things seem nothing,

but they give peace,

like those meadow flowers

which individually seem

odorless but all together

perfume the air.     

Georges Bernanos

Hugs can do great

amounts of good --

especially for children. Diana,

Princess of Wales

The sunny soul

brings sunshine everywhere. A bright and

happy temperament is a great social asset, adding to the happiness of the world. Hugh Black
