Penultimate Day of September

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Our worries always
come from our weaknesses...
Strong people can
always afford to be gentle,
only the weak are
intent on
FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE...
I would rather have a
big burden or hardship,
but have a strong back,
than turning everything
topsy-turvy and a mess. Napz Cherub Pellazo




Image

Maturity of mind
is the capacity
to endure
Uncertainty.
       John Finley




Image

If life were
predictable
it would cease
to be life, and
be without flavor. Eleanor Roosevelt



Image

During periods of
root expansion
things have always
looked as
confused and
topsy-turvy
and purposeless as
they do now.
The whole Renaissance
is supposed to have
resulted from the
topsy-turvy feeling
caused by Columbus'
discovery
of a new world.
It just
shook people up.
Robert M. Pirsig

Much of spiritual life
is self-acceptance,
maybe all of it.
      Jack Kornfield, 




Image

Every time it feels like
the world is out of control,
all I have to do is look up,
and I remember there is an
order to everything. There is
someone bigger than
my problems,  bigger than anything
that can happen in this world.
And because of that, I can
breathe a sigh of relief.
     Morgan L. Busse

Sometimes I think
there are only two
instructions we need to
follow to develop and deepen
our spiritual life:
slow down and let go.

My garden does not whet the appetite; it satisfies it. . . slakes it by proffering its natural remedy. Amid such pleasures as these have I grown old. Epicurus

The Seal, The Ant, and Ducks

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Image
On Saturday morning
I walk to the beach.

It's just a short distance from
where I walk by every morning;
But on Saturday I cross Kalia
and walk down Paoa Place
between the Hale Koa,
and the Hilton.

Today I saw a black feral cat 
catch a grey dove
pulling it down!

But perhaps being unschooled
in the hunt, or surprised,
kitty lost her grip in the flutter
as dove flew up and away.
What else will we see?







Image

A blessed haze lies upon all
this region, wherein is held
a little more of the sunlight
than other places hold,
and a little more of the
summer's humming music
of birds and bees; so that
men walk through it
as through a faery place,
and feel greater joy and
wonder than they ever
afterward remember.
   H.P. Lovecraft





Image
Resting Hawaiian Monk Seal! Full grown!

Ocean is more ancient
than the mountains, and
freighted with the memories
and the dreams of Time.
H.P. Lovecraft





Image

Laziness Personified.
We do not see them 
hunting, and traveling
hundreds of
miles at sea!

Meet my ant
on a crepe ginger blossom






Image

When you meet with
your old friends, you
recollect some of the finest
moments of your life
and find yourself in a
joy that has no comparison. Syed Badiuzzaman

There's nothing half so pleasant
as coming home again. Margaret Elizabeth Sangster

Will the roofs of new buildings

If you associate with eagles,
you will learn how to soar
to great heights. But if
you run with dogs,
you will learn
how to bark.

Image

In this vulnerable human life,
every loss is an opportunity
either to shut out the world
or to stand up with dignity
and let the heart respond. Jack Kornfield







Image

For I have always been a seeker,
a dreamer, and a ponderer
on seeking and dreaming... H.P. Lovecraft
