Never Lose

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Never lose an opportunity
of seeing anything beautiful, 
for beauty is God's handwriting.
   Ralph Waldo Emerson




Me and my excavator

I have never been 
especially impressed
 by the heroics of people
 who are convinced they are 
about to change the world. 
I am more awed by those 
who struggle to make
 one small difference 
after another.

  Ellen Goodman



Moon Rise Off North Shore Oahu by Mike Price

As far back as the 19th century,
Jewish storekeepers were virtually
the only Southern merchants who
addressed black customers as
'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' and permitted
them to try on clothing.
    Howard Sachar, 
        Author and professor of Modern History
     at George Washington University.




When we begin to think
about our angels,
they begin to
manifest themselves.
    Paulo Coelho

Transform the Destination

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Nothing is stronger than
a small hope that
doesn't give up
Matt Haig



 



The moment one gives 
close attention to 
any thing, even a blade of grass 
it becomes a mysterious, 
awesome, indescribably 
magnificent world 
in itself.
           Henry Miller





 You don't take
a photograph, 
you make it.
         Ansel Adams




The journey transforms
the destination.
Peter Morville




With years and experience comes
a certain understanding of human
frailty as we see our own.
Our last best chance to
wise up, love our neighbor,
and become a human being
before our opportunity is passed.

Honored Guest

A L O H A From Honolulu!


We need to give each other
the space to grow, to be
ourselves, to exercise our diversity.
We need to give each other space so
that we may both give and receive
such beautiful things as ideas,
openness, dignity, joy,
healing, and inclusion. Max De Pree


The sharp thorn often
produces delicate roses.
Ovid



Texture, not volume,
is the key to the wondrous. Anthony Lane


Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes
our abundance. Epicurus

You are not a beggar
at the table of life.
You are the honored guest.

Like A Dragon

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Be kind to yourself so
you can be happy enough
to be kind to the world.
Misha Collins



It's never what you expected
once you get there.






Turkeys know their names,
come when you call, and
are totally affectionate.
They're better than teenagers.
    Elayne Boosler

When turkeys mate
they think of swans.
    Johnny Carson





Confidence is like a dragon
where, for every head cut off,
two more heads grow back.

Not Sheep

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If you want to sleep
more soundly, count
blessings, not sheep, Robert A. Emmons
University of California, Davis
“Thanks!”
his book on gratitude research




A day, a life,
 has seasons.
Emotions
are the weather



Rather Drink Coffee, Thanks

There are years that ask questions
 and years that  answer.
             Zora Neale Hurston





 Life and people are complex. A writer as an artist doesn't have the personality of a politician. We don't see the world that simply. Joyce Carol Oates



 Any fool can be happy. It takes real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep. Clive Barker

Rebirth of Hope

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The last of the human freedoms:
to choose one's attitude in
any given set of circumstances. Viktor Frankl



To be endowed with
a generous mind,
this is the best
kind of nobility.
Plato




As I get older... I start to
realize that life ain't half bad.
Each year, I'm amazed
that I'm still alive.
I don't take any of this for
granted, I'm a lucky dude.
Dave Grohl



Ecstasy of reverie. Faery-fervid,
of uncharted seas, glory on which her
galleon might sail, undiscovered countries
of spice and sweetness, Aleister Crowley
12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947



Gratitude can start
as a mental exercise,
something you are doing. But
if you live it long enough,
it becomes something
that is doing you.
My life goal is to remain
grateful, humble, kind and yes
happy, right till the end.

you've been looking for.

The area covered by your life is not as important as what you can build on it. Swahili Proverb



Whoever enjoys his life is doing the Creator's will. Jewish Proverb

expect, Reflect what you
desire, Become what you
respect, Mirror what
you admire.
Unknown


Wild Rooster in Tree, Yes crowing

Treat yourself as if you already are what you'd like to become. Wayne Dyer


The free soul is rare, but
you know it when you see it-
basically because you feel good,
very good, when you are
near or with them. Charles Bukowski
