Smiles Are The Soul's Party Dresses

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Hatred,
in the course of time,
kills the unhappy wretch
who delights in nursing it
Giacomo Casanova

We are all like poems.
some of us rhyme.
some don’t.
some are Pulitzer prizes
some are just scribbles
and yet...

...we all possess a special

kind of beauty
Sanober Khan

Let go of your sorrows,

let go of your worries. That is the secret of walking meditation. Thich Nhat Hanh

A smile remains

the most inexpensive gift

you can bestow on anyone

and yet its powers can

vanquish kingdoms. Og Mandino

What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness? Rousseau

Was kind enough to send me the beautiful antique postcard of her area in today's swap as well as a really cute bunny rabbit notepad! I would send you a photo of the tea bags she kindly sent but I already drank the tea!

Here are the two beautiful items she gifted me:

Follow Your Bliss, Sis

A L O H A From Honolulu!

For a seed to achieve

its greatest expression, it

must come completely undone.

The shell cracks, its insides come

out and everything changes.

To someone who doesn't

understand growth, it would

look like complete destruction.
Cynthia Occelli

Coffee? Yes!

It was all completely serious,

all completed hallucinated,

all completely happy.

Jack Kerouac

1958

There is virtue in work
and there is virtue in rest.
Use both and
overlook neither
Alan Cohen

I live in my dreams

that's what you sense.

Other people live in dreams,

but not in their own.

That's the difference. Herman Hesse

One of the characteristics

of the dream is that

nothing surprises us in it.

Hasn't Happened Yet

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Emotional connection is

the heartbeat of humanity.

Anole Lizard:

Be still, and the Earth

will speak to you.

Navajo proverb

Seatherny

is a noun that means

"the serenity one feels

when listening to

the chirping of birds".

It's pronounced "seth-er-nee".

When you get angry

you are merely punishing

yourself for the

foolishness of others

Buddha

The greatest loss

we'll ever experience is the

life we could have lived if

we just let go and trusted

that the universe takes care

of a surrendered heart.

Cory Muscara

Some of the best days of

your life haven't happened yet.

Just relax and keep going.

The More I See The More I Do

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The power to stop all

evil is kindness.

The more evil I see,

the more good I do.

Ukrainian Saying*

I love this streetscape in Honolulu's

Kalihi-Palama neighborhood

far from the tourists.

This little building is

pink like Tripler Military Hospital

and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

This was the town I drove

taxi in in the 1980's.

A very different town than today

with old folks who remembered WWII

in the Islands, and the plantation life.

I'm very lucky to have known

that 20th Century Honolulu!

Oncidium sphacelatum orchid
ranges from Mexico to
Central America and
southeastern Venezuela,
also known as the
Dancing-Lady Orchid or

Kandyan Dancer Orchid

in Sri Lanka.

Kandyan dance (Sinhala: උඩරට නැටුම්) encompasses various dance forms popular and native to the area called Kandy of the Central Hills region known as Udarata in Sri Lanka, which have today spread to other parts of the country. It is an example of Sinhalese culture in Sri Lanka.
