Excites

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We tend to look for greatness
always in somebody else
rather than yourself.
Go inside and
get your sound.
Carlos Santana

What do you see

a woman? A man?

Someone like you?

Someone strange?

Or do you see a heart

and a soul? Because

that is what matters

to us when we

truly understand.

The point of good behavior
is to communicate our
respect for others.
Chogyam Trungpa

Respond to every call that excites your spirit. Rumi

Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. Fred De Witt Van Amburgh

Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending. Jim Henson

Let us be grateful to people

who make us happy,

they are the charming gardeners

who make our souls blossom.

Always act like you are

wearing an invisible crown.

Laugh Light

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Next time a sunrise

steals your breath

or a meadow of flowers

leave you speechless,

remain that way.

Say nothing,

and listen as Heaven

whispers, do you like it?

I did it just for you.

Max Lucado

Night does not show things,

it suggests them. It disturbs

and surprises us

with its strangeness.

It liberates forces within us

which are dominated by our

reason during the daytime.

Brassai

Finding solace in a face.

Gentle knowing grace,

Map of kindness, 

A heart benign

Reflecting the good

That we hope to find!

Shield us gently

With love's embrace,

May our laughter light

The world's soft space.

Moat and Drawbridge

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Let laughter dance,
Let tears find grace,
In every heart
A sunlit space

Raise your words,

not voice.

It is rain that

grows flowers,

not thunder.
  Rumi

Trust life, and
it will teach you,
in joy and sorrow,
all you need to know.
James Baldwin

Let kindness be the moat,

where worries drown,
And laughter, the drawbridge,
where blessings are found.

Stunning To Accept

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Boat we lived aboard for 20 years in Waikiki

Sometimes I go about

in pity for myself

and all the while

a great wind carries

me across the sky

Green is the fresh emblem

of well founded hopes.

In blue the spirit can wander,

but in green it can rest.

   Mary Webb

Let laughter ring,

A bell in open air

Let joy bloom tender, Dawn's first rose, Unfurling petals

where sunlight grows.

One of the blessings of age

is that most of us get along

with ourselves better than

when we were young.

It is stunning to

accept yourself Anne Lamott

Morning Heart of Waikiki

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us. Gabrielle Bernstein

January Pool Waikiki

Morning in the courtyard's frame
turquoise whispers swimmer's name.
Laughter dances on the breeze,
Guests relaxing as they unfreeze

January morning,

In Waikiki's embrace, Sanctuary of this island space. Where worries melt in sun & spray, As fears like feathers drift away.

The peace of nature

wears down the fear and

hatred that arise in me

on bad days, until I

remember at some point

that all we can do is

the next right thing. Anne Lamott

Rainbows are made

of small raindrops.

Happy lives are made from

acts of kindness.

Amit Ray

And if, when it's all over,

I'm asked what I did with my life,

I want to be able to say

"I offered Love"

Equidistant Equally Near

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Winter for Hawaii People,
Summer for Visitors!

No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one, no other land could so longingly and so beseechingly haunt me, sleeping and walking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done. Other things leave me, but it abides; other things change, but it remains the same. For me its balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun...

in my nostrils still lives the breath

of flowers that perished

twenty years ago. Mark Twain in Hawaii,

Roughing It in the Sandwich Islands:

Hawaii in the 1860s

The dance of the palm trees,

the oceans calling, the

first rays of sun and

heaven is here.

 Michael Dolan

Weather the storm

you cannot avoid;

Avoid the storm

you cannot weather.

Equidistant souls stars apart yet near dancing heavens among the spheres. Though miles may stretch cosmic ties will bind our constellations of heart and mind. Perhaps a dream a whisper in the void, Two melodies played

on instruments of joy.

Stay away

from negative people.

They have a problem

for every solution

Albert Einstein
