Old Friends

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Old friends are like The stars. Even when we can't see them We feel their presence in our lives. They guide us through The darkness, Reminding us We are not alone.

Old friends are like The trees, Strong and steadfast, Shelter and support. They teach us patience and resilience Showing us the beauty Of the world And ourselves.

Old friends are like The river, Always flowing Ever changing Reminding us that Life is a journey And we are all Part of the plan.

Old friends are like

The sun, Even more beautiful When day is almost done They are always shining Even when we forget To feel it. They give us warmth and light, Reminding us of Love.

So grateful for old friends Gifts from the universe May we cherish their Warmth,

Feeling it always. Hold them close

to your heart.

Remember It's Love

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Remember:
It's love that binds.
Not compatibility of beliefs.
Naked Pastor 

No matter how small

or insignificant, These moments are a gift, A chance to slow down

and reflect.

Welcome Serendipity

Rediscovering how to play

could be the key to creating

deep adult friendships.

Rhaina Cohen

Though friendships naturally

evolve as we grow up...

Continuing to embrace a

childlike approach to friendship

into adulthood can make for

connections that are

essentially ageless.

Rhaina Cohen

Intimacy is not something that

just happens between two people;

it is a way of being alive.

At every moment, we are choosing

either to reveal ourselves

or to protect ourselves...

...To dive into life or to avoid it.

Intimacy is making the choice

to be connected,

rather than isolated...

All Things and Yourself

A L O H A From Honolulu!

She stood there for a moment,

Looking out at the world below.

Felt the wind in her feathers,

And knew she was strong and bold.

The triumphant baby chicken,

Who conquered the world.

       

Have patience with all things

but first with yourself.

Never confuse your mistakes

with your value as a human being...

...You are a perfectly valuable,

creative, worthwhile person simply

because you exist. And

no amount of triumphs or

tribulations can ever change that.

     Frances de Sales

A brilliant jewel

in the black velvet sky.

 Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin

[ Lunar-module pilot ]

Describing Earth in a 1998 interview

And if,

when it's all over,

I'm asked what I did

with my life,

I want to be able

to say:

' I offered Love '

Terri St. Cloud

 Preparing Parade Dragon Brought to life by the beating drum, The Parade Dragon comes alive. People cheer, the children clap, As dragon takes to the street. The dragon dances, people

follow close behind. Symbol of good luck, Creature of story and myth, But just for today,

here with us,

Dragon is real in the street!

I hope it brings you joy.

The supreme triumph is

to be most vividly,

most perfectly alive.

Clowns They Say

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When you rise in the morning,

give thanks for the light, for

your life, for your strength.

Chief Tecumseh

Each morning

when I open my eyes

I say to myself:

I, not events, have the power

to make me happy

or unhappy today.

Groucho Marx

The child was born in autumn,
Of wind and sun, and rain;
Brought forth in

storm and darkness,
Yet of a gentle strain.

Clowns they say are sad.

 yet making the world laugh,

giving their mirth away,

being silly on our behalf.

Dumpster Darlings

Look closer Beyond the surface And you will see a world Full of beauty. A painting around the back Is a throwaway gift Reminder that art Can be found in the

most unexpected places.

It's the simple things

in your life that make

up the bulk of it.

The mundane is where we live,

and we end up missing most of it.

We find it again in the silence

and in the attention

of everyday life.

Your true colors
are beautiful
like a rainbow.
Cyndi Lauper

Rainbows are made
of small raindrops...

...Happy lives are made
from acts of kindness.
Amit Ray

Service is a smile.
It is an acknowledging wave,
a reaching handshake,
a friendly wink,
and a warm hug.
It's these simple acts
that matter most,
because the greatest
service to a human soul
has always been the
kindness of recognition.
Richelle E. Goodrich

Wise and gentle friend, Carrying the ages,

on your back Beloved symbol of hope,

our guide.

Turtle ancient voyager, Wandering the seas forever She has survived

the great extinctions. The ocean is her home.

Resting on the beach.

I don't like fame,

I prefer to have no profile.

But this is not

possible for me.

This is what I do, so

I just have to find a way

of being comfortable with it.
