Antidote For Cruelty

A L O H A From Honolulu!

of a number of things,

I'm sure we should all

be as happy as kings.

and inspiration, but fruit

is grown in the valleys.

are the dance of love.

is the master work of
wisdom, and one of the

in the great art
of living.

 is the antidote

 for cruelty.

Enough

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

We can never have

enough of nature. Thoreau

It is enough if one tries

merely to comprehend a little

of this mystery each day.

   Albert Einstein

Never Lose a Holy Curiosity."

LIFE Magazine (2 May 1955) p. 64

 

The world, even the

smallest parts of it,

is filled with things

you don't know.

Sherman Alexie

Elegance is a

glowing inner peace.

Glamour is like the moon;

it only shines because

the sun is there.

I'm Here Too!

I am on the edge of mysteries

and the veil is getting

thinner and thinner.

  Louis Pasteur

Way Out Or So

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Angel Chorus Under Heaven's Dome

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church, I keep it staying at Home - With a bobolink for a Chorister, And an Orchard, for a Dome. Emily Dickinson, 

Walk on a rainbow trail; 

walk on a trail of song, and

all about you will be beauty.

 There is a way out

of every dark mist, 

over a rainbow trail.

Andra Davis

Whether you know it

or you don’t, whether 

you accept it or not,

everything you do

is about the reclamation

of your own ‘soul’

  Oli Anderson

 

 Garden fairies come at dawn,

Bless the flowers 

then they're gone.

The first 50 years 

of childhood

are the hardest.

True Dreams

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Music fathoms the sky. Charles Baudelaire

Look at the land

and it's creatures

with loving eyes, and

you will see the ancient

faces looking back.

Once Deeply Knew

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We are the boat, we are the sea,

I sail in you, you sail in me.

Lorre Wyatt

Every time we remember

to say "thank you," we

experience nothing less

than heaven on earth. Sarah Ban Breathnach

Children are messengers

to us from a world we

once deeply knew.

Alice Miller

I travel not to go anywhere,

but to go. I travel

for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Stevenson was a great vagabond,

who wandered "rough" by

"throwing feet" as a youth,

gaining the voice & view that

fed his popular writing. He was

a great champion of Polynesia

later, where he supped with

chiefs and royals.

A friend is a gift

you give yourself.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Self Peace

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Moopiter - Moon & Jupiter

The wise heart resembles a mirror, reflecting everything without becoming sullied. Confucious

Elvis

One can be instructed in society,

one is inspired only in solitude.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

To heal mine aching moods, Give me God's virgin woods. Clinton Scollard

When you make peace

with yourself, you make

peace with the world.

Maha Ghosananda

Walking down the road last night,

I passed an apple pie, an

ice cream sundae, and

a lemon cheesecake. I thought, "the streets are

strangely deserted tonight."

Perfection

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Our main task in life 

is to give birth to 

oneself, 

to become 

what one potentially is.

   Erich Fromm

The sum of this world's 

imperfections is a 

greater perfection.

The world is round;

it has no point.

 Adrienne E. Gusoff

Imperfection is in some sort

essential to all that

we know in life.

  John Ruskin

The Internet is just a

world passing around

notes in a classroom.

Jon Stewart
