Obscure Craze of the Roman Empire

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The greatest enemy
of positive social change
is cynicism about
what can be changed.
Robert Reich

Deceptively deep
this heart we hold,
A universe
of stories untold.
With every beat
a truth unfolds,
Timeless tide
of all sweet souls.

California Quail

Photo taken in Calif.

A fresher gale begins

to wave the wood,

and stir the stream, sweeping

with shadowy gust the

fields of corn; while the quail

clamors for his running mate.

James Thomson

Be both soft and wild.

Just like the Moon.

Or the storm. Or the sea.

   Victoria Erickson

Don't waste time on nonsense.

Nor be taken in by conjurors and

hoodoo artists with their talk.

Don't be obsessed with 

quail-fighting

or other crazes like that.

Marcus Aurelius

 

Quail Fighting?

Are they especially pugnacious birds?

More good advice from the 

Master and one time Roman Emperor. 

But chosen chiefly for the echo to

the Quail above.

And so another day in

Blogland!

Break And Breathe

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The whole body

reacts to color.
If you were to

walk into an
all-neon-pink room,

it would be difficult

not to react.
I think it is a unified,

human thing to feel

color with everything.
It is like standing next to

a bass speaker plugged

into your eyeballs.
Jim Drain

Friendship is the only cement
that will ever hold

the world together.
Woodrow Wilson

Sometimes you have to
take a break and breathe
before you can
keep moving forward.
Kayla Panchisin

The highest form of love
is to be the protector of
another person's solitude.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Of Inconceivable Mystery

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Full Strawberry Moon

21 June 24

OAHU, Hawaii, Courtesy: Dustin Ebisu

There is something haunting

in the light of the Moon.

It has all the dispassionate-ness

of a disembodied soul and

something of its inconceivable

mystery.

Joseph Conrad

Honolulu Chinatown

If home is where you can be

yourself then the more you

can be yourself everywhere.

The more at home you will

be in the world. John Sarris

Rainbow steals

the window scene,

Her splashy joy

a vibrant sheen.

Aged Banana Leaf

Stand forth, my soul,

and grip thy woe,

Buckle the sword

and face thy foe.

What right hast thou

to be afraid

When all the universe

will aid?

  Angela Morgan

When We Were Four

 Know that you are 

the perfect age. 

Each year is special 

and precious, for you 

shall only live it once. 

Be comfortable 

with growing older.

Compassion Cures

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Just allow love

to overwhelm your heart

and it will crowd out

every lesser thing.

Cloudia Charters

Golden Shower Tree

Everyone's got to be different.

You can't copy anybody and

end up with anything.

If you copy, it means you're working

without any real feeling. And

without feeling, whatever you do

amounts to nothing.

  Billie Holiday

Golden Shower Tree

Who does not know

the truth, is simply a fool.

Yet who Knows the Truth and

Calls it a Lie, is a Criminal

Bertolt Brecht

As I look at all the

self-defeating behaviors, I

think the biggest one is looking

outside ourselves for

the secret to happiness.

I have learned there is

no way to happiness.

Happiness itself is the way.

Dr. Wayne Dyer

"Happiness Is The Way"

Compassion will cure more

sins than condemnation.

Henry Ward Beecher

Be The Reason

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Happiness is not

a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling. Margaret Lee Runbeck

Be the reason someone smiles.

Be the reason someone feels

loved and believes in the

goodness in people. Roy T. Bennett

What we call despair is

often the painful eagerness

of unfed hope.

George Eliot

Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon Winnie the Pooh

Just be yourself and

you'll never have a problem.

That's what I did. Willie Mays

Love Takes Flight

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Love takes flight,

From single source it gleams.

Nourishing each life

Fueling all our dreams...

Adenium obesum, Desert Rose

...We the vessels

each a fragile cup,

Let kindness overflow

to fill life up!

Bearing love

the boundless tide.

To share the gift

on every side....

...Keep hearts open

channels clear and bright,

To share, receive, and bathe

In love the source of light.

Light shows the way, but

warmth illuminates the soul.

Effie Adelle Keats
