Healing Enjoyment

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Healing requires from us
to stop struggling, but
to enjoy life more
and endure it less.
Darina Stoyanova


It's when we start
working together that
the real healing
takes place.
   David Hume




And once the storm is over, 
you won’t remember how 
you made it through, 
how you managed 
to survive. But 
one thing is certain. 
When you come out 
of the storm, you 
won’t be the same 
person who walked in. 
That’s what this storm’s all about.
                   Haruki Murakami






Truth is the
basis of all healing
Barbara Schmidt

Fallen African Tulip
Dancing free this crimson gem.
Fallen tulip pirouettes the wind.
A tapestry of hope in flight,
On wings of scarlet, bathed in light.
Even fallen, we can rise,
In sun-kissed laughter to the skies.
Just so to paint our day with fire,
This vibrant ember's bright desire.
And like the tulip, free and bold,
We'll paint our days in stories told.

Good Life Process

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Our own heart, our own mind,
is the temple. The
doctrine is compassion...



...Love for others and respect
for their rights and dignity,
no matter who or what they are:
ultimately these are all we need.
Dalai Lama




No spring nor summer beauty
hath such grace as
I have seen in one autumnal face.
John Donne



The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination. Carl Rogers



People seem not to see 
that their opinion of the world 
is also a confession of character.
      Ralph Waldo Emerson

Calm Whatsoever

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life is really simple, 
but we insist on 
making it complicated.
              Confucius


The positive energy
and love we give
to others, heals
our own wounds. Angie Karan



Hands joined like leaves
in sunlit air,
No task to chase,
no weight to bear.
Fingers meet,
a gentle nest,
Where worries sleep,
and hopes are blessed.

Green whispers paint
the tranquil scene,
A symphony of wind
and leaves unseen.
Heartbeats slow
to nature's drum,
Composure found,
where shadows come.



Never be in a hurry; 
do everything quietly 
and in a calm spirit. 
Do not lose your inner peace 
for anything whatsoever, 
even if your whole 
world seems upset.
            Saint Francis de Sales




If my world were to
cave in tomorrow, I would look back
on all the pleasures, excitements and
worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough
to have had... It will have been
enough. Audrey Hepburn

Love, Life, Robot Cabbage

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Love much. Earth has enough of bitter in it. Ella Wheeler Wilcox


Life, for all its privations, is a luminous thing. You have to risk it. Jeanette Winterson


Walking along I found this ring, A stainless disc, a curious thing. No brushstroke fine, no artists's hand, made these symbols
I don't understand.
Porthole on another language,
Perhaps it's just a robot cabbage?



Pixie during our California time.
Kindness is like snow - it beautifies everything it covers. Anonymous

Habits Of Thought

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Elevator Lobby - Going For My Morning Walk
 Worry is profoundly ungrateful. What a waste of all the treasures
around and within us,
of the time we have! Do not let the times we live in
dictate to us. Let's go
our own bright way and spread it around
as we are able.


Anyone who isn't embarrassed
of who they were last year
probably isn't learning enough. Alain de Botton



Crown of velvet, petals curled, Unfurl the secrets of our world,
The daily round, a passing show, Dissolves within your vibrant glow.

 I thank you, bloom,
for lessons taught, Of beauty born from
battles fought. For showing the love
in simple things, You lift my heart
on unseen wings. May I be like you,
steadfast soul, Unfurl my petals,
make me whole. To find within each
morning's embrace, Ecstatic vision,
face to face.



Our habitual thoughts
shape our perceptions. Swedenborg

So practice good
thought hygiene
as Pixie does!
