Stunning To Accept

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Boat we lived aboard for 20 years in Waikiki
Sometimes I go about
in pity for myself
and all the while
a great wind carries
me across the sky

Green is the fresh emblem
of well founded hopes.
In blue the spirit can wander,
but in green it can rest.
   Mary Webb




Let laughter ring,
A bell in open air



Let joy bloom tender, Dawn's first rose, Unfurling petals
where sunlight grows.


One of the blessings of age
is that most of us get along
with ourselves better than
when we were young.
It is stunning to
accept yourself Anne Lamott

Morning Heart of Waikiki

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us. Gabrielle Bernstein


January Pool Waikiki
Morning in the courtyard's frame
turquoise whispers swimmer's name.
Laughter dances on the breeze,
Guests relaxing as they unfreeze

January morning,

In Waikiki's embrace, Sanctuary of this island space. Where worries melt in sun & spray, As fears like feathers drift away.




The peace of nature
wears down the fear and
hatred that arise in me
on bad days, until I
remember at some point
that all we can do is
the next right thing. Anne Lamott


Rainbows are made
of small raindrops.
Happy lives are made from
acts of kindness.
Amit Ray



And if, when it's all over,
I'm asked what I did with my life,
I want to be able to say
"I offered Love"
Terri St. Cloud

Equidistant Equally Near

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Winter for Hawaii People,
Summer for Visitors!

No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one, no other land could so longingly and so beseechingly haunt me, sleeping and walking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done. Other things leave me, but it abides; other things change, but it remains the same. For me its balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun...
in my nostrils still lives the breath
of flowers that perished
twenty years ago. Mark Twain in Hawaii,
Roughing It in the Sandwich Islands:
Hawaii in the 1860s


The dance of the palm trees,
the oceans calling, the
first rays of sun and
heaven is here.
 Michael Dolan




Weather the storm
you cannot avoid;
Avoid the storm
you cannot weather.


Equidistant souls stars apart yet near dancing heavens among the spheres. Though miles may stretch cosmic ties will bind our constellations of heart and mind. Perhaps a dream a whisper in the void, Two melodies played
on instruments of joy.


Stay away
from negative people.
They have a problem
for every solution
Albert Einstein

Sunbeams

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Life is like balloons. If you never let yourself go You will never know how far you can rise. Linda Poindexter


If you have good thoughts 
they will shine 
out of your face 
like sunbeams 
and you will 
always look lovely.
     Roald Dahl




The years teach much 
which the days never knew.
            Ralph Waldo Emerson 



This is the real secret of life to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work realize it is play. Alan Watts

Thin The Veil

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

After a while, 
whoever you are, 
you just have to
let go, and the 
river brings you home.
        Joanne Harris


It isn't the great big 
pleasures that count the most;
it's making a great deal 
out of the little ones.
           Jean Webster






All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice
like a child. Marie Curie


The happiest people 
don't worry too much 
about whether life 
is fair or not, they 
just get on with it.
      Andrew Matthews




 Gratitude
Dissolves fear.
A smile
Thins the veil
Between Heaven 
& Earth,
Between souls.


 And when old Winter puts 
his blank face to the glass, 
I shall close all my shutters, 
pull the curtains tight, 
And build me stately 
palaces by candlelight.
       Charles Baudelaire

Sun-Kissed

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The guardian angels of life
sometimes fly so high as
to be beyond our sight, but
they are always
looking down upon us.
Jean Paul


A swirl of soap,
her breath held tight, As magic floats
into the light. Rainbow orbs,
whispering sphere, Dancing on the breeze
float near. Tiny feet in
gleeful chase, Smiling wide, with
sun-kissed face. So chase, little dreamer,
with laughter and glee,
For bubbles and childhood,
are magic and free.


It takes two years to
learn to speak and
sixty to learn to keep quiet.
Ernest Hemingway


We are nostalgic not
only for good times, but
also for times that
were challenging.
After all, they too
made us who we are.


In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have. Ralph Marston
