Elementary

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 To the illuminated mind the whole world sparkles with light. Ralph Waldo Emerson




Shadow Drinking Coffee
To be bowed by grief is folly;
Naught is gained by melancholy;
Better than the pain of thinking,
Is to steep the sense in drinking.
Alcaeus

I recommend Coffee!





 It's surprising how much memory
is built around things
unnoticed at the time.
Barbara Kingsolver






What I want is so simple
I almost can't say it:
elementary kindness.
Barbara Kingsolver

One Word Peace

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the
other person's point of view and
see things from that person's angle
as well as from your own.
Don't find fault, find a remedy.
Henry Ford 



In order to understand the world,
one has to turn away from it
on occasion.
Albert Camus



Better than a thousand hollow words,
is one word that brings peace.
Buddha



If I could reach up and hold a star
for every time you've made me smile,
the entire evening sky
would be in the palm of my hand.
  Unknown Lover

Genius Recovery

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Genius is the recovery
of childhood at will. Arthur Rimbaud





Bronthotherium megaceratops skull

The talkative listen to no one,
for they are ever speaking.
And the first evil of those
who know not to be silent is
that they hear nothing. Plutarch


 
If Everything Around You Seems Dark,
Look Again, You May Be The Light.
Rumi




Hong Kong Orchid Tree

An orchid in a deep forest
sends out its fragrance even if
no one is around to appreciate it.
    Confucius





 There are some people who
live in a dream world,
and there are some who face
reality; and then there are those
who turn one into the other.  
   Desiderius Erasmus

A Single Lovely

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Your mission on this earth
is 2% WHAT you do,
98% HOW YOU DO IT.




All the beautiful sentiments 
in the world weigh less 
than a single lovely action. 
         James Russell Lowell









To see a world 
in a grain of sand
And a heaven 
in a wildflower:
Hold infinity in the 
palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
        William Blake






 Your group of friends
are better than any drug
or anti-aging supplement, 
and will do more for you 
than just about anything.
        Dan Buettner


I Love the Authentic Connection
WE Have!

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

Joy is the simplest
form of gratitude.

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
