All The Secrets

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Feeling lost, crazy and

desperate belongs

to a good life

as much as

optimism, certainty

and reason.

Alain de Botten

Happiness is never

an accident. It is

the prize we get

when we choose wisely

from life's stories

Joseph Dunn

Wise people are

the roosters of

the universe:

Awakening

the unawake!

  Mehmet Murat ildan

When opinions become

identities, they warp

our understanding and

make it harder to

change one’s mind as

the situation changes.

Michael Bang Petersen

All the secrets

of the world worth

knowing are hiding

in plain sight.

Robin Sloan

The actual flower of Red Ginger plants

are the small white flowers! 

Did you humans know that

Seat belts aroused heated debate

despite increasing scientific research

in the 1940s and 1950s showing

their value in saving lives?

Some car owners even cut the

seat belts out of their cars!

Don't worry. Some of you

have ALWAYS been

C R A Z Y!

Strangely comforting perspective.

You're Welcome

We Join Them

 Aloha from Honolulu!

Navigation light at the end of the channel.

Where the outriggers live.

We are called to be

bridge builders; but

too many of us are

merely toll takers.

Aging is a peculiar

mixture of surrender

and being indomitable.

Love it - not above it.

What do you need to

appreciate more?

Kindness & Happiness

travel together.

Seen in its own right,

a loving person's inner spirit

is an angel of heaven,

and while we are living

in the body we are also

in the company of angels,

even though we are

not aware of it; and

once we are released

from the body

we join them.

This Myna has no respect for U.S. Gov't Property!

 Be gracious and courteous

to strangers, it shows one

is a citizen of the world,

and that your heart is no

island cut off

from other islands,

but a continent that

joins to them.

  Francis Bacon

You win by not being

what they expect

you to be.

In a world where

kindness is a

rebellious act let's

all become rebels!

Some Of Today's Rainbows

A L O H A From Honolulu!

7:25 a.m.

There will come a day 

when people of all races, 

colors, and creeds 

will put aside their 

differences. 

They will come 

together in love, 

joining hands in 

unification, 

to heal the Earth and 

Her children... 

7:27 a.m.

...They will move over 

the Earth like a

great Whirling Rainbow, 

bringing peace, 

understanding and healing 

everywhere they go.

If you cannot see the rainbow

because your face is down,

don't argue that no rainbow

is up there. Lift up

your passion and take

your dreams off the ground!

 Israelmore Ayivor

8:19 a.m.

Our lives are rainbows

in reverse

footed in Heaven

passing through Earth...

...Our colors and flavors

deepen as we arch

through plenty and longing,

oasis and parch.

*By his own testimony, De Quincey first used opium in 1804 to relieve his neuralgia; he used it for pleasure, but no more than weekly, through 1812. It was in 1813 that he first commenced daily usage, in response to illness and his grief over the death of Wordsworth's young daughter Catherine. During 1813–1819 his daily dose was very high, and resulted in the sufferings recounted in the final sections of his Confessions. For the rest of his life, his opium use fluctuated between extremes; he took "enormous doses" in 1843, but late in 1848 he went for 61 days with none at all. There are many theories surrounding the effects of opium on literary creation, and notably, his periods of low use were literarily unproductive.      Link

How To Choose Your Mood

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Mood is the key to life satisfaction.

The common conception is that

mood is like weather:

it comes and goes

via it's own mysterious logic.

But

you CAN choose your mood.

And mood is the key

to everything.

Better angels

are always nearby.

But so are darker spirits.

They are antagonistic

to one another,

being polar opposites.

Like magnets' ends

they repel one another.

When you have a

worrying thought ,

how you respond

is the whole game.

If you go towards it,

and start to think it,

that repels the brighter,

attracting the darker.

And vice versa.

Whatever you pay attention

to will proliferate.

If you start worrying, just

remind yourself that you

woke up this morning and

be grateful for that.

The voice that says

"Yeah you woke up big deal!"

That is the dark side talking.

Don't go towards it. Deny it.

Turn your back on it.

You do that by

 focusing on something

you love, on gratitude.

Immediately brighter beings

approach as if

congratulating you.

You have chosen them

over those repellent to them.

They always bring good vibes.

And THAT feels GREAT!

Tell me to what

you pay attention

and I will tell you

who you are.
