Sunset Surfer

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sun-kissed skin,
etched with brine calligraphy,
Silver hair, a crown
of well earned bravery.
No longer chasing giants
with youthful might,
He dances with mastered skill
and joy on waves of fading light.

Stone gaze softens, sternness fades,
A lei of blooms, in festive shades.
Lunar New Year paints the air,
Guardian lion, enjoying the fair.

The lion welcomes, fierce yet kind,
Blessings shared for all to find.
Silent sentinel, wise and old,
Whispers blessings, brave and bold.

Do not grow old,
No matter
how long you live.
Never cease to stand
like curious children
Before the great mystery
Into which we were born
Albert Einstein

Shine your soul with the same ego-less humility as the rainbow and no matter where you go in this world or the next, love will find you, attend you, and bless you.

not out there, it is in me.

Magic is not about having 

a puzzle to solve. It's 

about creating a moment 

of awe and astonishment. 

And that can be 

a beautiful thing

Leaders don't force people to follow,

they invite them on a journey.

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.

Everyone's a critic,

especially of the thing

they don't understand.

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.

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
