The Last Time You Changed

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Some believe

it is only great power

that can hold evil in check,

but that is not

what I have found.

It is the small everyday

deeds of ordinary folk that

keep the darkness at bay.

Small acts of kindness

and love.

J.R.R. Tolkien

The Hobbit, pub. 1937

The turquoise tide

shimmered in shades

of mermaid tails against

the alabaster shore. Karen Marie Moning 

You're only as young as
the last time you
changed your mind.
Timothy Leary

Moonbeams tiptoe,
Dreams begin to show.
Cloudpuff pillows float on by,
People's wishes

crossing the sky.
Imagination takes its flight,
Enthralling embrace
Of the burgeoning night.

Cloudia Charters

I dream.

Sometimes I think

that's the only

right thing to do. Haruki Murakami

Power Water

Be like water 

making its way 

through cracks. 

Do not be assertive, 

but adjust to the object, 

and you shall find a way 

around or through it.

   Bruce Lee

Inclusiveness

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

By accepting yourself

and fully being

what you are, your

simple presence can

make others happy.

    Buddha 

An authentically empowered 

person is humble.

This does not mean 

the false humility

of one who stoops 

  It is the inclusiveness of

 one who responds to

the beauty of each soul.

                    Gary Zukav 

Don’t seek to be happy;

let everyone else chase

after that rainbow.

Seek to be kind, and you’ll

find the rainbow follows you.

    Richelle E. Goodrich

Do not let the bitterness 

steal your sweetness.

 Take pride that even though 

the rest of the world 

may disagree, you still 

believe it to be 

a beautiful place.

Iain S. Thomas

Adenium obesum, desert rose

In a world where kindness is a rebellious act let's all become rebels!

Ah, the patter of little feet

 around the house. 

There's nothing 

like having a 

midget 

for a butler.

      W. C. Fields

Putting On A Happy Face

Alive And Drunk

 A L O H A  From

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

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!
