Desk Doggy Finds Solace

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You live longer once you realize that any time spent being unhappy is wasted. Ruth E. Renkl

She dwells in an inch,

luxuriant lady of light.

Her boat, a bloom,

on the afternoon stream,

Model of repose, her tranquil dream.

Desk doggy finds solace

In his quiet solitude.

Soulful eyes investigate

Beseeching - never rude.

Resolve to be tender with 

the young, compassionate 

with the aged, sympathetic 

with the striving, and 

tolerant of the weak 

and the wrong. 

Sometime in life you will 

have been all of these.

            Lloyd Shearer

To Learn Which

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Betty Smith A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

Looking back you realize that a

very special person passed briefly through

your life- and it was you.

It is not too late to

find that person again. Robert Brault

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Golda Meir

To learn which questions
are unanswerable, and
not to answer them:
this skill is most needful in
times of stress and darkness.
Ursula K. Le Guin

There is life in
a kindly reply.
Ua ola no i ka pane
a ke aloha

Treasure Melt

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 Sun is a Giant

Ball of Warm Butter Dripping on

the sunset seas.

Golden rays,

Of treasure melts, To kiss the waves

with golden ease.

You don't think your way

into a new kind of living.

You live your way into a

new kind of thinking. Henri Nouwen

"Flat Rate To Base"

The end of one journey is

just the beginning of another.

It is necessary to see

what was not seen,

see again what was already seen,

see in spring what was seen in summer,

see in the day what was seen at night.

You have to start the journey

over again. Always.

José Saramago

No one is ordinary

because every person

carries the wisdom of

his own unique path!

Destination Listener

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I’m learning that if we
don't start being with
The Now more often,
we will miss the most
important and
valuable moments.
Alex Elle

Kindness is not an act,
it's a reflection of your soul. 

Green bottle of sunshine
Beneath the boughs,
Find wisdom within,
And let it flow out.

When you've lost sight
of your path,
listen
for the destination
in your heart.
Katsura Hoshino

Eight Year Memory Northern California

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In the warm Hawaiian sun, koi fish glisten like jewels under water. Their bright colored scales shimmer and gleam as they swim gracefully,  mesmerizing to watch. Originally from Japan, they are loved for their beauty and tranquility. 

Honolulu November Sky

Layered sky in shades

of gray and umber,
November clouds glide

as if in slumber.

November sky,

so vast and wide,
A canvas where

the clouds collide.

Joy and sorrow,

light and dark,
Create a moving

work of art.

Now here's the eight year memory of moving to Cali.

Grateful to be home in the islands since 2019!

Fireplace girl, my love from the sea,
How could I bring you to
this land of winter's spree!?

On the first of November,
when the winds blow cold,
I'm glad I have you here to hold.

Waikiki girl who lived
in the sunny curtains
In this cold land of winds

and chilly fogs
You are a sweet source comfort

Before the roasting logs.

Dreams Show Up

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The ideas that have lighted my way have been kindness, beauty and truth. Albert Einstein

Are you waiting for

the perfect moment, To strike and take your prey? Or are you simply

surveying the scene, Content to watch the day?

Every blade of grass

has its angel that bends over it and whispers, 'Grow, grow.' The Talmud

Everything you've ever dreamed of will often show up in different packaging than you were envisioning. Brenden Dilley

To See Another Day

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Our goal in life should be to live in radical amazement.

Get up in the morning
and look at the world in a way that takes nothing for granted. Everything is phenomenal, everything is incredible. Never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed.
Abraham Joshua Herschel

Another morning

Sun is up,

Birds are singing

In the trees,

Flowers spark dew.

my heart is glad 

To be alive!

If we could see the miracle
of a single flower clearly,
our whole life would change.
Buddha

Another morning I am here, And all is well with me. I am glad to be alive, To see another day.

Leaves are of more various forms

there are hardly two alike,
