Cowards Are Cruel

A L O H A From Honolulu!

People who shine from within
don't need the spotlight.
Zig Ziglar




A hibiscus blooms, bold and bright, Wisdom shared, in radiant light.


No trait is more useful, more essential for survival, and more likely to improve the quality of life than the ability to transform adversity into an enjoyable challenge. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience



Cowards are cruel, but the brave love mercy and delight to save. John Gay







Some people care too much.
I think it's called love. A.A. Milne




Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. Mark Twain

Only the Kind Are Able

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life takes us to
unexpected places sometimes.
The future is never set
in stone, remember that.

The Universe Only Pretends

A L O H A From Honolulu!
What are the things that
you can't see that are important?
I would say justice, truth, humility,
service, compassion, love.
You can't see any of those, but
they're the guiding lights of a life.
US President Jimmy Carter


One of the most cowardly
things ordinary people do is
to shut their eyes to facts.
C.S. Lewis


The secret to life is meaningless
unless you discover it yourself.
W. Somerset Maugham



The universe only pretends
to be made of matter.
Secretly, it is
made of love.
Daniel Pinchbeck


Thankfulness is the
fountain of contentment

Let The Children Play

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Some people come and go and are forgotten. But there are other people who share a part in our destinies. They come, they go, but they are never forgotten. They come, they go, but even after they go... they're still here. They never really went anywhere.
C. JoyBell C.



Let them spend their days in sunshine
living their imagination. These wild children in morning sun will become adults of mind and spirit capable of creating society for 
their families and all of us.




People hurry by so quickly
Don't they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies
Songs, to aging children come
(Songs, to aging children come)
Aging children, I am one (I am one)

Joni Mitchell
Songs to Aging Children Come lyrics © Reservoir Media Management Inc



 Remember: Joy is
not merely incidental
to your spiritual quest.
It is vital.
Nachman of Bratslav

What would you drink from
these red and green crystal flutes
guarded by Sharks Teeth?
A.I. Answer:
"If I could drink in red and gold crystal flutes guarded by sharks, I would drink a magical elixir that grants me the ability to fly. I would raise my glass to the sharks and say, "Thank you for guarding this precious gift. I will use it wisely.""

As If You Have Nowhere To Go

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
Sky Slash @ Sunset

A fiery blade across the sky,
Canvas painted
with twilight's kiss.
From crimson red
to golden hues,
A symphony of colors,
Draping the world
In gold.



With every swipe of your squeegee,
You give us all a clearer view.
Teaching us to appreciate
The beauty in the everyday.
You leave the world a little brighter.
Thank you, window washers,
for all that you do.





Welcome, my little,
To this beautiful life.
On your first beach day
We walk hand-in-hand
You giggle as the waves
Reach your toes,

 May you always find
This wonder everyday.
The waves of joy ever
crash upon your shore,
Welcome to this beautiful life.
We'll leave our footprints here.




I live by letting things happen.
Dogen



Most people cannot believe
that just walking as if
you have nowhere to go
is enough.
Thich Nhat Hanh

There Is A Space

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Between stimulus and response
there is a space. In that space is
our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our
growth and our freedom.
Victor Frankl 


It’s exhilarating to come closer
and closer to self-discipline.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
           
 
When you are not sure, 
flip a coin because while 
the coin is in the air, you
realize which one 
you are actually hoping for.
        Jay Shetty

 

Real friends never leave
each other, never part.
They just sometimes sit
silently, deep within each
other's heart, saying,
“I'm just here if you need me."




A breath, a pause,
A moment to choose.
True power one
day at a time.
