If We Laugh And Sing A Little

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

If we laugh and

sing a little as

we fight the good fight

of freedom, it makes it

all go easier. I will not

allow my life's light to

be determined by the

darkness around me. Sojourner Truth

I survived because the

dumpster fire within me

burned brighter that the

dumpster fire around me.

Feral Cat Saying

Real freedom comes 

when we discover 

the goodness connected 

with our beliefs, 

if they are love 

for what is good. 

Being motivated by anger 

and hatred is not freedom. 

It is mental slavery.

Swedenborg

For every shadow

There’s light to find,  

Each struggle unearths 

a much stronger mind.  

So breathe in the present, 

let gratitude swell,  

Life is a gift, and 

you’re living it well!

Luminous Ineffable

A L O H A  From

What is yours will

reach you in good time.

You don't have to forcibly

grab that which is

intended for you anyway.

Rabbi Shalom Arush

Fear of the future 

can paralyze us, 

but we can allow it 

to unfold easily

when we keep to the

present moment.

    Eckhart Tolle

Amaryllis, also known as Hippeastrum,

A tropical bulb native to South America

Be happy. 

It really annoys 

negative people.

 Ricky Gervais

In quiet moments 

We are blessed

Where silence speaks 

And stillness rests,

There lives a truth 

Beyond mere sight

A luminous, ineffable light

There within 

That tender space

Where heart and 

Spirit interlace

Listen with the 

Ears of soul

As fragments merge

In a marvelous whole.

Clearly Deeply Slowly Quietly

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Modern luxury is 

the ability to think clearly, 

sleep deeply, move slowly, 

and live quietly in a world 

designed to prevent all four.

Justin Welsh

To see a world 

in a grain of sand and

 heaven in a wild flower 

Hold infinity in

 the palms of your hand

and eternity

 in an hour.

  William Blake

In quiet moments

We are blessed

Where silence speaks

And stillness rests,

There lives a truth

Beyond mere sight

A luminous

Ineffable light.

The more you 

know yourself, the 

more patience you have 

for what you see 

in others.

Honesty to Power

Simple truth, 

Sharp and clear,

Standing tall 

When shadows leer,

Courage drawn 

from soul's deep well,

Breaking silence 

And every spell.

Don't whisper, 

Or tremble, or  lie,

Cast your Truth 

Across the sky,

Integrity blazes 

as a flame,

Broken spirit 

Transmuting shame.

Can moral truth 

Finally reach

The heart of power 

Through powerful speech?

Can it breech the walls 

Of fear and doubt

With one triumphant 

Holy shout?

Each life, each land, 

Each generation

Must eventually 

Find out.

   Cloudia Charters

Hope is being able 

to see that there is light 

despite all of the darkness. 

Desmond Tutu

The magic of the street

is the mingling of the

errand and the epiphany.

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else. Charles Dickens

Nothing Is Just One Thing

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Nothing is just one thing—  

The world moves

Up and back in dance,  

Opposites hold hands,  

Spinning forward

Side by side.  

A president and  a dreamer

Power and moral hope.

Even in contrast 

there’s connection—  

Everything grows 

from its opposite.

Keep the faith, 

smell the roses

More is baking 

than one supposes.

 Four ducks on a pond,

 A grass-bank beyond, 

A blue sky of spring, 

White clouds on the wing; 

What a little thing 

To remember for years 

To remember with tears!

 William Allingham

Every positive thought 

is a silent prayer

which will 

change your life.

            Bryant McGill 

The requirements for 

this time are not the 

familiar ones of achievement 

and growth, clarity and power. 

No, this season is asking 

for a new rhythm, one 

that is more attuned to 

humility and listening, 

stillness and rest. 

I hope each of you finds 

little pockets of refuge 

that support your 

intimacy with soul.

   Francis Weller

the right path, you create

a golden fate for yourself and

you also become

a silver lining for the others! Mehmet Murat ildan

A good traveler

has no fixed plans and is not intent

upon arriving. A good artist

The Beautiful and Good

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

We shall find peace.

We shall hear angels,

we shall see the sky

sparkling with diamonds. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

With age comes wisdom, 

but also the awareness 

of how little we know.

  Anonymous

Youth is a gift of nature, 

but age is a work of art.

  Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Life doesn't always

get better.

But you do. 

You get stronger.

You get wiser. You get softer.

With tattered wings you rise. 

And the world watches 

in wonder at the breathless 

beauty of a human 

who survived life.

L.R. Knost

Every year of my life 

I grow more convinced

that it is wisest and best

to fix our attention 

on the beautiful and

good, and dwell as

little as possible on 

               the dark and the base.
