Fellow Islands

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Some buildings are new,
some buildings are old
and some buildings
aren't there anymore,
but flowers, leaves
& light are eternal.
[African Tulip]


Thanks for your wonderful responses
to my shots of the moon.
I'm shooting with a
Pixel 6 Pro phone.

My life is a roller coaster
on golden wheels;
IT IS NEVER GOING TO
BE PERFECT but
I am glad for
the perfect moments

For a dark street,
sunshine is most welcome;
for a wounded soul,
love is most welcome!

The value of things is
not the time they last.
That is why there are
unforgettable moments
and unique people!

I viewed my fellow man
not as a fallen angel,

We keep moving forward,
opening new doors, and
doing new things, because
we’re curious and
curiosity keeps leading
us down new paths.

Open Doors

A L O H A From Honolulu!
There is another alphabet,
whispering from every leaf,
singing from every river,
shimmering from every sky.
The world is always open,
waiting to be discovered.
    Dejan Stojanovic

[Thank You Karen Link]







When one door is closed,
don’t you know,
another is open.
 Bob Marley






When one door closes,
another opens; but we
often look so long and
so regretfully upon
the closed door that
we do not see the one
which has opened for us.
   Alexander Graham Bell




Follow your bliss and
the universe will open ‪doors
where there were only walls.
Joseph Campbell








Things taste sweet
when you are grateful,
Stolen grapes are
always sour.






Well-being can be built—
and the best building blocks
are good, warm relationships.
Robert Waldinger

He Aliʻi ke Aloha

"Love Is Chief"
A L O H A From Honolulu!
Queen of Hibiscus seemed wide as a plate!
One should handle
all beings as if they
were mother, father,
brother, sister, child,
 friend, or relative.
    Buddha





What a Full Breath LOOKS like
Breathe deeply, until sweet air extinguishes the burn
of fear in your lungs
and every breath is
a beautiful refusal to
become anything less
than infinite. 
  D. Antoinette Foy




Refreshment Reflections
Love is the greatest
refreshment in life.
    Picasso











The memory of things gone
is important to a jazz musician.
Things like old folks singing
in the moonlight
in the backyard on
a hot night or something
said long ago.
   Louis Armstrong



Things that touch us
 when we are very young 
have a special resonance
 life-long; Even more so
in mature years.



- but the chief of these is love.
 1 Corinthians 13:13

Just A Shoestring

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sublimate or postpone
your true Desires & opinions
long enough, and you
could well lose track
of what You really want,
and of yourself. 




No One Can Steal
Your Joy.
It is in
Your power.



Youth trades pleasure
Till the full moon rise;
Age shares comfort
For they have
become Wise.




N o t i c e









Don't play the saxophone.
Let it play you. Charlie Parker



Would love to play WITH a shoestring ANYtime!

You can play a shoestring
if you're sincere.
   John Coltrane

Smile Down Moon

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If we look at the world
with a love of life,
the world will reveal
its beauty to us.
 Daisaku Ikeda 




Civilization is just
a slow process of
learning to be kind.
  Charles L. Lucas

An ongoing process




 

Matter is not
lacking in magic,
matter is magic.
 Terence McKenna




We awaken in others 
the same attitude 
of mind -




- that we hold 
toward them. 
                      Elbert Hubbard




[Some, you just need to love,
despite how they act,
while you avoid them]




I think that wherever
your journey takes you,
there are new gods
waiting there, with
divine patience -
and laughter.  
 Susan M. Watkins*

Lion's Brain

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Myna & African Tulip Tree
Being a light in this world
does not necessarily mean
shining a light on things
of which you disapprove.





A lighthouse turns
and gives light.
That's all that it does,
it makes no judgments.
Judgments arouse anger.
Light rarely does that.
But when light does
bring anger, It is
anger that reveals
the Real Problem.


So be your light.
Be a warm sun
not a spotlight or siren.




Then you will
arouse and participate
in the love that
is still changing
the whole world.
