Benefactor Morning Walk

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What Oh What Shall I See
Walking This Morning
In Waikiki?
The secret of genius is 

to carry the spirit of 

the child into old age, 

which means never 

losing your enthusiasm. 

     Aldous Huxley








"Walk (Sign) Among Rainbows"

A photographer is an acrobat 

treading the high wire 

of chance, trying to 

capture shooting stars.

                          Guy Le Querrec











Tree Behind Tree

The good are befriended 

even by weakness and defect.

As no one ever had a 

point of pride that was 

not injurious to him, 

so no one had ever a 

defect that was not 

somewhere made 

useful to him. 

Our strength grows 

out of our weakness. 

A great one is always 

willing to be little.

Punished, tormented, 

defeated, we have 

a chance to learn 

something. 

Every evil to which we 

do not succumb

is a benefactor.

Emerson























A gentle hand 

may lead even 

an elephant 

by a hair.

Unsolved Genius

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Hope may seem a fragile thing.

Until you really hear it sing.







Stately. Vast. Dignified.

Peaceful. Ephemeral.

Changing. Eternal.

Tinged with Colour;

And Glory.

Unfolding Story

Dusk Sky Scroll On.







A sky as pure as water 

bathed the stars and 

brought them out.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry


For my part
 
I know nothing
 
with any certainty,

but the sight of 

the stars 

makes me dream.

 Vincent Van Gogh







Bar Fish

Don't try to have a

discussion with someone

who is arguing.




This is bliss.

Bliss is this.

There's no mastery to be had. 

You love the attempt. -







-You don't master a story 

any more than you master a river. -







Mo`ili`ili is a neighborhood in Honolulu Link

-You feel lucky 

to canoe down it.

Even Tides

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

The aim is to burn through

 to first thoughts, 

to the place where energy is 

unobstructed by 

social politeness or 

the internal censor, 

to the place where

 you are writing 

what your mind 

actually sees and feels,

 not what it thinks 

it should 

see or feel.

Natalie Goldberg






 Joy has to do with 

seeing how big, 

how completely unobstructed, 

and how precious things are. -







- Resenting what happens to you 

and complaining about your life 

are like refusing to smell 

the wild roses when you 

go for a morning walk, 

Pema Chödrön










Then the magicians

said to Pharaoh,

“This is the finger of God.”

But Pharaoh’s heart was

hardened, and he did not

listen to them...

Exodus 8:19




















EVENTIDE

Dark and light
striking
each other,
vividly etching wild colors
through the horizon.

The charm of sunset
makes me want
to scurry home.

Tara Estacaan







Where did YOU 
meet your Best Friend?

Fielding Joy

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

We delight in the beauty 

of the butterfly, but 

rarely admit the changes

it has gone through to 

achieve that beauty.

                             Maya Angelou





Plumeria

- When we have learned how 

to listen to trees, then the 

brevity and the quickness and 

the childlike hastiness 

of our thoughts achieve an 

incomparable joy. . .


. . .That is home. 

That is happiness.

 Herman Hesse, Bäume








Golden Trumpet Tree

The tree which moves some 

to tears of joy is in the eyes

 of others only a green thing

 that stands in the way. 

 William Blake










Canoe Fleet Heading Right


With one foot in the canoe, 

and one foot on shore, 

you are sure to fall 

into the river.

Tuscarora proverb








Fields Of Fur

I don't care who 

scores the goals, 

I'm going to leave my 

human beingness 

on the field!

Abby Wambach
