Alive And Drunk

A L O H A From

H O N O L U L U

This is a wonderful day,

I have never seen

this one before.

Maya Angelou

"Omne trium perfectum"
From Latin: "everything that
comes in threes is perfect"

A turquoise given
by a loving hand
carries with it
happiness and
good fortune.
Judy Hall

I am alive, and
drunk on sunlight.
George R.R. Martin

While in the midst

of serious internal growth

respect your need to rest.

Just Keep Rising

A L O H A From
H O N O L U L U

I believe the image is

always driven by

the experience.

You're always trying to

capture what you feel

more than what you see.

Andy Mumford

I want to photograph the considerable ceremonies of our present. I want to gather them, like somebody's grandmother putting up preserves, because they will have been so beautiful. Diane Arbus

Secret To Longevity

Eat your vegetables,

have a positive outlook,

be kind to people,

and smile.

Kamada Nakazato,

Okinawan centenarian

Yes, I struggle.

Sometimes I hurt

Often searching

For just the right word.

Thoughts slip through

Fishes elusive and bright.

Garden of echoes

Longing for light.

Colors collide

In a tempest of dreams.

Resilience unfurls

Growing stronger it seems.

In the cracks of my soul,

Where the wildflowers grow,

There’s beauty in struggle

Learning to let go.

Let My Soul Smile

A L O H A From
H O N O L U L U

Call for the grandest of all earthly spectacles, what is that? It is the sun going to his rest. Thomas de Quincey

Let my soul smile

through my heart and

my heart smile

through my eyes, that

I may scatter rich smiles

in sad hearts.

Paramahansa Yogananda

You wanna fly,

you got to give up

the shit that

weighs you down.

Toni Morrison

The spiral is a

spiritualized circle.

In the spiral form,

the circle, uncoiled,

has ceased to be vicious;

it has been set free.

Vladimir Nabokov

If you see someone

without a smile today,

give 'em yours.

Dolly Parton

Thankful!

Rain’s Thursday art date

Little Things Thursday

The world may spin

At frantic haste,

But inside, stillness

Sets the pace.

So let the winds

Of life collide,

But in my heart

Calm will abide.

In The Garden

A L O H A From

H O N O L U L U

In the garden of your mind,
There's a special place
I hope you'll find
Where flowers of joy and
peace peaches grow,
By the happiness waters
so freely that flow.

Spend time with friends
And animals too
They're here to listen
and support you.

Keep it real.
Celebrate
each win you feel.
It's okay to ask for aid
When storm clouds
make you feel afraid.

Mental gardens
Need tender care,
But look!
They're blooming
Everywhere!

The friend you meet
Is a garden too,
Nourishing in beauty,
A treasure to you.

So nurture minds
With love each day.
Help the bad stuff
Fade away. For in our gardens
You will find,
The Happy, The Healthy,
The Free and the kind!

Basic Kind

A L O H A From

H O N O L U L U

Seating themselves on the greensward, they eat while the corks fly and there is talk, laughter and merriment, and perfect freedom, for the universe is their drawing room and the sun their lamp.

Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
