Light Lurk

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Light is where

The Angels lurk.

wonderful, warm donuts,

Places To Be

I visited many places,

Some of them quite

Exotic and far away,

But I always

returned to myself.

    Dejan Stojanovic

Life…we understand it

differently at different stages.

It’s what is interesting

about getting older, you realize your relationship with the past is always negotiable....

...you can visit those places again,

and understand it differently.

That makes a huge difference.

Kindness & Happiness

travel together. Love it - not above it.

Since we cannot

change reality,

let us change the eyes

which see reality. Nikos Kazantzakis

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery. Francis Bacon

Aerial Roots of the Banyan

"-Roots grow from

outward-extending branches

and reach the ground,

becoming trunk-like and

expanding the footprint of

the tree, sometimes gaining it

the colloquial name

of a 'walking tree.'"

Creator, bless my eyes

that I may see with love.

Bless my mouth that

I may speak with love.

Bless my heart that

I may give and

receive love.

Bless my hands that

all I touch feels loved. Native American 

We are called to

be bridge builders;

but too many of us

are merely toll takers.

Give advice;

if people don't listen,

let adversity teach them. Ethiopian Proverb

Forget, Love, Focus

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Perfect love is the most

beautiful of all frustrations

because it is more than

one can express.

    Charlie Chaplin

Care about the person

in front of you.

Not labels or sides.

Life responds to

the generous.

I've often noticed that

we are not able to look at

what we have in front of us,

unless it's inside a frame.

Abbas Kiarostami

Luxury is anything

that feels special.

I mean, it can be a moment,

it can be a walk on the beach,

it could be a kiss from your child...

 luxury doesn't necessarily

have to mean expensive.

     Aerin Lauder

Faith is the very opposite

of clinging to belief,

of holding on. Alan Watts

There comes a time in your life,

when you walk away from

all the drama and people

who create it. You

surround yourself with

people who make you laugh.

Forget the bad and

focus on the good.

Love the people who

treat you right, pray

for the ones who do not.

Life is too short to be

anything but happy.

Falling down is a part of life,

getting back up is living.

    José N. Harris

"The caduceus, a staff with two snakes coiled around it, is the official insignia of the United States Medical Corps, Navy Pharmacy Division, and the Public Health Service. The caduceus is also the magic wand carried by Hermes (the Romans knew him as Mercury),

the messenger of the gods."
