Simply Generously Deeply Kindly

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A grain of knowledge
with the dawning of the day
is a breakfast of the mind.
 Flann O'Brien



Tree Expert Supervisors 
Everyone's a critic,
especially of the thing
they don't understand.
   Banksy



Dappled sunlight paints the reef,
a vibrant, underwater scene,
A stripe of blue, a flash of yellow,
Through coral castles, fins propel - O.







Live a good, honorable life.
Then when you get older
and think back, you'll
enjoy it a second time.
Live simply. Love generously.
Care deeply. Speak kindly.
 JoAnn Donohue

Pink Sky Welcome

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A pink sky welcomes
beauty, joy, & promise.
A pink sky makes my
hopeful heart sing.

My heart, a feather,
light and free,
Soars with the promise,
wildly sweet.





Just keep going.
    No feeling is final.
     Rainer Maria Rilke




Funny faces works of art,
Melt your frown
and steal your heart.
So laugh along,
don't be a prude,
For silly faces
do us good!




The most valuable possession 
you can own is an open heart. 
The most powerful weapon 
you can be is an 
instrument of peace.
              Carlos Santana

Believe To Bloom

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Through the blackest night,
morning gently tiptoes,
feeling its way to dawn.
Robert Brault




Philodendron

In hushed tones of emerald green,
A philodendron shyly seen,
Unfurls its leaves in nature's art,
A growing, green, and gentle heart.





If you want to live in peace, 
you must not tell 
everything that you know, nor 
judge everything that you see.
Respect for the rights 
of others is peace.
          Mexican Proverb



This is the end of yesternight,
This is the hour the heart is laid
Open to life!
Frances M. Frost, "Day"



It is by believing
in roses that one
brings them to bloom.
French Proverb

You ARE

A L O H A From Honolulu!


People are like
stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.Elisabeth Kübler-Ross







Do you have someone
that you wouldn't trade
for a million dollars
You have a
million dollar relationship!




True friends are those
who lift you up
when your heart's wings
forget how to fly.
Anonymous






If it seems a childish thing
to do, do it in remembrance
that you are a child. Frederick Buechner





  


The first duty of
a revolutionary is to
get away with it. Abbie Hoffman

Arrange The Unexpected

A L O H A From Honolulu!

With nimble heart

The world unfolds
new paths to find.



The marvels of daily
life are exciting;
no movie director can 
arrange the unexpected 
that you find in the street.

the sign of a vulgar mind. Albert Camus

200 Feet Tall

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Courtesy: Mike Price
The world is full of magical things 
patiently waiting for our wits
to grow sharper.
           Bertrand Russell



Tropical Traffic Emerald giants line the street, Iron horses inch along and compete
Palm trees sway in sun-kissed skies,
Mirrored on a windshield, *sigh*
Contrasts dance, a curious scene,
Paradise glimpsed, on metal sheen.
But wait, a uku
lele's tune,
Spills from a truck, a joyful croon!
 Paradise is still there, waiting
beyond the traffic jam.

A Dragon Pot For
Lunar New Year Good Luck

Today or any day 
that phone may ring 
and bring good news. 
   Ethel Waters





The kapok tree, Ceiba pentandra,
or silk-cotton tree,
grows up to 200 feet tall,
 10 feet across at the trunk!


A kind heart is a beautiful
thing to share, but
don't forget to extend
those amazing traits to yourself.
You are worthy of your
own love and care.
Morgan Richard Olivier
