Loyal Both in Fairness

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Many of us are willing to spend six or eight years studying to get a diploma. We believe it's necessary for us to be happy. But very few of us are willing to spend three or six months, or even a year, training ourselves to handle our sadness or our anger, to listen with compassion, and to use loving speech...

...If you can learn how to transform your anger, sadness, and despair, and if you can learn how to use loving speech and deep listening, you can become a real hero capable of offering happiness to many people.

Thich Nhat Hanh

When did we forget that

you need to know BOTH SIDES

to decide?

When did we lose

"The Loyal Opposition" &

the Fairness Doctrine?

Compassion crowns the soul

with its truest victory. Aberjhani

Simple Essence

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Quiet the mind

and the soul will speak.

      Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati

The essence of life is

not in the great victories

and grand failures, but

in the simple joys.

 Jonathan Lockwood Huie

When storm's intrude,

Shadows loom,  

One whisper of peace

Cuts through the gloom.  

Each challenge faced

And tempest test  

Brings silence after.

My heart is at rest.  

With every breath

The steady flame,  

Of quiet strength

Reveals its name.

“Life is to be enjoyed,

not simply endured.

Pleasure and goodness and joy

Two Sisters

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In times of turmoil and danger,

gratitude helps to steady

and ground us.

It brings us into presence, and our

full presence is perhaps

the best offering

we can make to our world.

Joanna Macy

Kolea

All mistakes teach us something,

so there are, in truth, no mistakes. Nikki Giovanni, Poet

There are two sisters

In my house.

Anxiety and joy.

They do not fight or argue

Or otherwise annoy 

The truly amazing thing

Is how well they share

The space

So close,

Alike yet different

Each wearing my own face.

The Wise Flip Flop

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When 'I' is replaced with 'we',
even illness becomes wellness.
Malcolm X

 If the universe is 

bigger and stranger

 than I can imagine, 

it's best to meet it 

with an 

empty bladder.

       John Scalzi

A Common Mundane Tragedy

A flip-flop woke proud,  

Ready to dance

In the beach town crowd  

But her strap came askance!

  

“Oh no!” cried the flip-flop 

"This is no fun!"

 I was feeling so Tip-Top 

In the warm salty sun!

Yet with surf breezes

A thought came to play:  

“Maybe fates sneezes

Shouldn't ruin my day.” 

BE the Wise Flip Flop!

 Whenever you are 

sincerely pleased 

you are nourished.

Morning light

Our gentle friend,

Warm my skin

Night's at its end.

Thank you light

For waking me,

To all the joy

As soon as you trust yourself,

 you will know how to live.

  Goethe 

The greatest invention 

in the world is the 

mind of a child. 

            Edison

There are days when solitude,
for someone my age,
is a heady wine that
intoxicates you
with freedom.

And call the joy

The Grand Show

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The grand show is eternal.

It is always sunrise somewhere;

the dew is never dried all at once;

a shower is forever falling;

vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise,

eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea

and continents and islands,

each in its turn, as

the round earth rolls.

John Muir

I was coming to realize

 that the real magician 

was light itself. 

 Edward Steichen 

Religion is at its best when

it makes us ask hard

questions of ourselves.

It is at its worst when it

deludes us into thinking

we have all the answers

for everybody else.

    Archibald Macleish

Happiness is a process.

Not an unwavering

state of rest
