Thin The Veil

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

After a while, 
whoever you are, 
you just have to
let go, and the 
river brings you home.
        Joanne Harris


It isn't the great big 
pleasures that count the most;
it's making a great deal 
out of the little ones.
           Jean Webster






All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice
like a child. Marie Curie


The happiest people 
don't worry too much 
about whether life 
is fair or not, they 
just get on with it.
      Andrew Matthews




 Gratitude
Dissolves fear.
A smile
Thins the veil
Between Heaven 
& Earth,
Between souls.


 And when old Winter puts 
his blank face to the glass, 
I shall close all my shutters, 
pull the curtains tight, 
And build me stately 
palaces by candlelight.
       Charles Baudelaire

Sun-Kissed

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The guardian angels of life
sometimes fly so high as
to be beyond our sight, but
they are always
looking down upon us.
Jean Paul


A swirl of soap,
her breath held tight, As magic floats
into the light. Rainbow orbs,
whispering sphere, Dancing on the breeze
float near. Tiny feet in
gleeful chase, Smiling wide, with
sun-kissed face. So chase, little dreamer,
with laughter and glee,
For bubbles and childhood,
are magic and free.


It takes two years to
learn to speak and
sixty to learn to keep quiet.
Ernest Hemingway


We are nostalgic not
only for good times, but
also for times that
were challenging.
After all, they too
made us who we are.


In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have. Ralph Marston

Everyday Teacher

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Don't try to be profound
or educated. That only
wears you out.
Just be simple.
Let everyday life
be your teacher.
Vernon Howard



Take the first step in faith.
You don't have to see
the whole staircase,
just take the first step.
Dr. M.L. King



 Knowledge is proud
that it knows so much;
wisdom is humble that
it knows no more.
    William Cowper



There is a grace of kind 
listening, as well as a 
grace of kind speaking.
      Frederick William Faber



It always helps to have
people we love beside us
when we have to do
difficult things in life.
  Fred Rogers

Who Or Where You've Been

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Approaching the beach on foot
is like entering the precincts
of a grand cathedral,
a pilgrimage site.
There are always strangers
about but they too are pilgrims.
Here we experience our
commonality before the waves,
the space, the sky.
Our pilgrim hearts In borrowed sun, Toward the ocean's altar run.


Guardian of Liberty
The only freedom which
deserves the name, is that
of pursuing our own good
in our own way,
so long as we do not attempt
to deprive others of theirs-
John Stuart Mill




Step within, if you dare, Tunnel of timeless secrets to share. Stripes of sun and shade agree Whispers of eternity.


A private life
with your favorite people
is a happy life.




Who you are becoming
is more important than
who you've been.
Joe Clementi

Try Approving

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You've been criticizing yourself
for years and
it hasn't worked.
Try approving of yourself
and see what happens.
Louise Hay





There is not enough darkness
in all the world to
put out the
light of even
one small candle.
   Robert Alden




One joy scatters
a hundred griefs
If I keep a green bough
in my heart, the
singing bird will come.
Chinese Proverbs




Authenticity is a collection of
choices that we have to
make every day. It's about the
choice to show up and be real.
The choice to be honest.
The choice to let our
true selves be seen.
 Brene Brown

Protaetia hieroglyphica 


There is a difference
between happiness and wisdom:

one who thinks himself the happiest
is really so; but he that thinks
himself the wisest is
generally the greatest fool.

Sir Francis Bacon




Experience is not what
happens to us,
rather it is what we do
with what happens to us.
Anthony J. D'Angelo




One small cat changes
coming home to an
empty house to
coming home.
