Silence To Think

A L O H A From Honolulu!

May you delight in today.

May the child in you stir awake for a season

of Wonder and Hope.

You needn't own something to derive pleasure from it. Do you own a sunset, a moment, or a song?

Better than a thousand hollow words,

 is one word that brings peace.

Buddha 

Every piece of the universe,

even the tiniest little snow crystal,

matters somehow.

I have a place in the pattern,

and so do you…

T.A. Barron

So much space, such silence,

so much time. To drift.

To think. To let your mind

roam anywhere it pleases.

To dream. Perhaps the

true luxury of our age is not

the piles of goods we endlessly

accumulate, but Time.

Aspects

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Saturday 3 Dec. 2022

Repetition doesn’t really exist. As far as your mind is concerned, nothing happens the same twice, even if in every technical sense, the thing is identical. Your perception is constantly shifting. It doesn’t stay in one place. Brian Eno

The light of eternity gilds everything like morning.

I went to a restaurant that

serves 'breakfast at any time'.

So I ordered French Toast

during the Renaissance.

You can't get mad at weather because weather's not about you. Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life. Douglas Coupland

 Kindness may be the best
communication tool of all.

Our first Hawaii home was an actual

coffee shack in Captain Cook, Link

above Kealakekua Bay on the west side of

Hawaii Island [the Big Island]. 

We would turn off

the belt highway, and climb

Rabbit Hill through the coffee trees

with four wheel drive.

Above the coffee farm, our

shack was built into the hillside on

poles. We hiked it's jungle path ever day.

We visited erupting Mauna Kea

[Neighbor Maunaloa is erupting

in the news today!]

I describe all this in my Hawaii Novella:

"Aloha Where You Like Go?"

Smallest Act

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Too often we underestimate

the power of a touch,

a smile, a kind word, a

listening ear, an honest compliment,

or the smallest act of caring,

all of which have the potential

to turn a life around.

Leo F. Buscaglia

Treasure the love you

have received above all.

It will survive long after

your gold and good

health have vanished. Og Mandino

Yesterday is but a dream,

tomorrow but a vision. But

today well lived makes every

yesterday a dream of happiness,

and every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well, therefore, to this day.

Such is the salutation to the dawn.

   Sanskrit Proverb

There is only one difference

between a madman and me.

The madman thinks he is sane.

I know I am mad.

No amount of worry

People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.
