A L O H A From Honolulu!

Smell the sea and feel the sky,

Let your soul and spirit fly.

Van Morrison

 Don’t ever miss a chance

to be sun-kissed.

I would love to live

like a river flows,

carried by the surprise...

...of its own unfolding.
John O’Donohue

A beach walk is for stretching

your legs and your mind, for

looking at life with newfound eyes.

 Sandy Gingras

When you do things

from your soul,

you feel a river moving

in you, a joy.
Rumi

Sunshine Lovely

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In the autumn of your years

don't make it so that what

you look back on is regret.

Live your life now so that

whatever you do

gives some sunshine.

  Stephen Richards

Sun inspires and keeps up

it's charm whether it

rises or settles down.

Sandeep Ravidutt Sharma

Then I look at you

And the world's

alright with me

Just one look at you

And I know it's gonna be

A lovely day Bill Withers

I've got the sunshine in my hands

You've got the sunshine in your hands

We've got the sunshine in our hands

Now let it shine all over this land

    Wes Farrel

Go down by the bay,

enjoy a sun ray,

chewing a stick of hay,

and let others know

you're here to stay.

Pay Fools No Heed

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Monsters will always exist.
There's one inside each of us.
But an angel lives there, too.
There is no more important agenda
than figuring out how to slay one
and nurture the other.
Jacqueline Novogratz

Because you can't argue with

all the fools in the world.

It's easier to let them have

their way, then trick them when

they're not paying attention.

  Christopher Paolini

Painting from nature is

not copying the object;

it is realizing

one’s sensations.

 Paul Cézanne

Constant use had not worn ragged

the fabric of their friendship.

  Dorothy Parker

Let your soul stand cool

and composed before

a million universes.

Come To My Hut

A L O H A From Honolulu!

At dusk Come to my hut-

The crickets will Serenade you,

and I will Introduce you

to the moonlit woods. Ryokan Taigu

Focus only on where

you are right now.

Then carefully take

one step at a time,

by placing just one foot

in front of the other...

...Before you know it, you

will turn that corner. Anthon St. Maarten

In order for the light to

shine so brightly, the

darkness must be present.

   Sir Francis Bacon

Time spent with cats

is never wasted.

This Is What I like

A L O H A From Honolulu!

This is what I like

about photographs.

They're proof that once,

even if for just a heartbeat,

everything was perfect.

Jodi Picoult

Bless the world with your mind,
heal the world with your heart,
 lift the world with your soul;
elevate the world with your life.
  Matshona Dhliwayo 

Without women to nurture

in this world- how

do men get by?

How do children get by?

How does society

get by at all?

    Raquel Welch

First, ask yourself: Do you think

you are right about everything? 

 If you aren’t right about everything,

then what, exactly,

are you wrong about?

   Will Storr

O thou art a wondrous view,
A true beauty to behold!
I never lose sight of you!
You're worth more
than all the gold.
Joshua Aaron Guillory

May the Stars Carry Your Sadness Away

A L O H A From Honolulu!

May the stars carry

your sadness away,

May the flowers fill

your heart with beauty,

May hope forever wipe

away your tears,

And, above all, may

silence make you strong. Chief Dan George,

Tsleil-Waututh Nation

The Holy Land

is everywhere.

May the Warm Winds of Heaven

Blow softly upon your house.

May the Great Spirit

Bless all who enter there.

May your Moccasins

Make happy tracks

in many snows,

and may the Rainbow

Always touch your shoulder.

Cherokee Blessing

Hold on to what is good,

Even if it's a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe,

Even if it's a tree that

stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do,

Even if it's a long way from here.

Hold on to your life,

Even if it's easier to let go.

Hold on to my hand,

Even if someday I'll be

gone away from you. Crowfoot

1830 - 1890

Spirit Soars

My spirit soars

where the air goes thin.

    We Dream of Travel

It's awfully important to know what

is and what isn't your business.

   Gertrude Stein

The three great elemental sounds

in nature are the sound of rain,

the sound of wind in a primeval wood,

and the sound of outer ocean

on a beach.

      Henry Beston

Earth Teach Me

Earth, teach me quiet

as the grasses are still

with new light.

Earth, teach me suffering

as old stories suffer

with memory.

Earth, teach me humility

as blossoms are humble

with beginning.

Earth, teach me caring

as mothers nurture their young.

Earth, teach me courage as

the tree that stands alone.

Earth teach me limitation

as the ant that crawls

on the ground.

Earth teach me freedom

as the eagle that soars

in the sky.

Earth teach me acceptance

as the leaves that

die each fall.

Earth teach me renewal~

as the seed that rises

in the spring.

Earth teach me to

forget myself

as melted snow

forgets its life.

Earth teach me to

remember kindness

as dry fields

weep with rain.
