Hidden Star Smiling

 A   L   O   H   A  !

It is never too late 

to be what you 

might have been.

George Eliot

Ua Koko Link

"Hanohano 'o Waimea i ka ua koko, 

Ka 'elele o ka ua Kāpa'ahoa."

Waimea is honored 

by the ua koko, 

Messenger of 

steadfast loyalty.

  Hawaiian Place Proverb

[That is not Waimea in the photo,

but Oahu's  Ko`olau Mts]

A hidden star 

can still be smiling

at night's black spell 

on darkness, beguiling.

Munia Khan

Keep your hands open, 

and all the sands of 

the desert can pass 

through them. 

Close them, and 

all you can feel 

is a bit of grit.

Taisen Deshimaru

Love, be

mystical

as the flickering

blue flame

of night

as the fully-awoken

moon

beneath cobwebs

of passing clouds

amidst chanting

high-tides

fuzzy,

as my blanket

big enough

to illuminate a hundred

thousand billion galaxies

and just small enough to fit

into my embrace.

         Sanober Khan, 

                          Turquoise Silence

First Rainbow of 2021

If you surrendered 

to the air, 

you could ride it.

Toni Morrison

I can't shake the conviction 

that 2021

will surprise, comfort

& delight us

in many ways!

You ride out the downturn 

and you're usually 

rewarded in the end.

       John Buckingham

Sorrow prepares you for joy. 

It violently sweeps everything 

out of your house, so that 

new joy can find 

space to enter. 

It shakes the yellow leaves 

from the bough 

of your heart, so that 

fresh, green leaves can 

grow in their place. 

It pulls up the rotten roots, 

so that new roots hidden 

beneath have room to grow.

              Rumi

Your Loves motivate

and define you.

 A   L   O   H   A  !

You can't live 

a perfect day without 

doing something for someone 

who will never be able 

to repay you.     

John Wooden

Someday, somewhere 

– anywhere,  unfailingly, 

you'll find yourself, 

and that, and only that, 

can be the happiest or 

bitterest hour of your life.     

Pablo Neruda

The joy of life comes 

from our encounters 

with new experiences, 

and hence there is 

no greater joy than to have 

an endlessly changing 

horizon, for each day to 

have a new and different sun.

Christopher McCandless

Yesterday is not 

ours to recover, but 

tomorrow is ours 

to win or lose.

Lyndon B. Johnson

May you live everyday 

of your life.

Jonathan Swift

Anticipation: Lion Dance Blessing for New Year

The past is passed. 

Illusions evaporating.

Change, the order of the day

New relations percolating.

Time To Relax on the steps. Egret Agrees.

All my life I used to wonder 

what I would become 

when I grew up. 

Then, about seven years ago, 

I realized that I was never 

going to grow up--

that growing is an 

ever ongoing process.

 M. Scott Peck

We are shaped

 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

You & Me, Kid

The ordinary acts we 

practice every day at home 

are of more importance 

to the soul than their 

simplicity might suggest.

Gretchen Rubin

Look within. 

Within is the

it will ever bubble up,

Between truth and 

the search for it, 

I choose the second.

over being right 

and you'll be right 

every time.
