How We Change the World

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Person to person,

moment to moment,

as we love, we

change the world. 

Samahria Lyte Kaufman

[Sometimes]

Small talk feels

too small,

-big talk

too enormous.

     Anna Quindlen

Not too little,

not too much. 

Just enough

Swedish proverb

Too Much?

At the best times,

nothing needs

to be said

with words.

At Play

Among The Flowers

Cleanliness is a mindset

– a positive habit

that keeps the body,

mind, and environment

happy, healthy,

simple, neat,

and delightful. Amit Ray 

There is never enough

time to do everything,

but there is always

enough time to do the

most important thing.

Brian Tracy

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Pink Sky

Make me Think

Sky.

Pink Darters Darting

in a Baby Blue Sea.

You & I

go a long way back,

Oahu Skies

Full of Gods, Powers & Tales.

Blessed. Best.

It's Here I'll Keep

My Rest!

Red Delight

Ante-ceding Night

I look to the sea

that sailors live upon

sleeping on her bosom

all night long.

I Wonder at

Their Boundless Delights.

But as for me?

Shore City Nights!

Diamond Head Bus Stop

Quiet & Still.

Tranquil striated slopes

on the iconic hill

where temples and signals

betokened ancient forces.

Later overlooked the

19th Century racing of horses.

Named for a beloved Queen:

8 Main Islands

Shining in the Sea

part of an

Archipelago *

longer than a thousand

nautical miles.

But these main 8

are the factory of smiles.

The Ninth Island?

We call Vegas that!

Quack! Peep! Moan!

Duck Nursery has

returned home!

Living out here has

just meant happiness.

Sometimes I think

I'm half-mad

with love

for this place.

Make Courtesy Awesome Again

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Photo Courtesy of Nelly Johnson

Courtesy should be

a continuous action,

not something to be

turned on and off

like a faucet.

   Anonymous

These wild chickens have laid their egg atop a utility box!

Courtesies of a small

and trivial character

are the ones which

strike deepest in the

grateful and

appreciating heart.

  Henry Clay

I often painted

fragments of things

because it seemed to

make my statement

as well as or better

than the whole could.....

When you take a

flower in your hand

and really look at it,

it’s your world

for the moment.

I want to give that

world to someone else....

...Most people in the city

rush around so,

they have no time

to look at a flower.

I want them

to see it

whether they

want to or not.

     Georgia O'Keeffe

When music and courtesy

are better understood

and appreciated,

there will be no war.

   Confucius

I wish people

were all trees...

I think I could

enjoy them then.
 Georgia O'Keeffe

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Better to illuminate

than merely to shine

Thomas Aquinas

Maturity is peacefully

disagreeing without

thinking the other person

is terrible or believing all

of their other views must

be wrong too...

...processing different

perspectives without

ego or combativeness

is a real superpower.

Yung Pueblo

You are no bigger

than the things

that annoy you.

           Jerry Bundsen

Ego loves to condemn;

peace affirms itself

without judgment.

Another Day!

Sometimes the darkest

challenges, the

most difficult lessons,

hold the greatest

gems of light.

After The Storm, Rainbow Cake

A L O H A From Honolulu!

After the rain, the

sun will reappear.

There is life.

After the pain, the

joy will still be here.

    Walt Disney

After a day of cloud

and wind and rain

Sometimes the setting

sun breaks out again,

And touching all the

darksome woods with light,

Smiles on the fields

until they laugh and sing,

Then like a ruby

from the horizon's ring,

Drops down into

the night. 

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Only rainbows after rain ....

The sun will always

come again.

   Andy Grammer

There, about a dozen times

during the day, the wind

drives over the sky

the swollen clouds,

which water the earth

copiously, after which

the sun shines brightly,

as if freshly bathed,

and floods with a

golden luster the rocks,

the river, the trees,

and the entire jungle.

   Henryk Sienkiewicz

Growing up, I heard

a lot about strength.

My dad -

a Holocaust survivor -

embodied it, though he

would never say that

about himself.

Not only did he survive

one of the most horrific

events in history, but

he never lost hope

along the way,

crediting acts

of kindness with

keeping him alive.

   Daniel Lubetzky

 Love comforeth like

sunshine after rain,

Love's gentle spring

doth always

fresh remain;

Shakespeare

 My soul was like a

summer evening,

after a heavy fall of rain,

when the drops are yet

glistening on the trees

in the last rays of

the down-going sun...

 George MacDonald

March 26:

Hawaii has dropped the

Mask Mandate,

[last US State to do so]

as well as pre-travel

covid testing for visitors.

Today felt different.

Hope breathed.

After tense months,

people seem relaxed.

Foreign languages are

heard once more

in Waikiki.

My mask will continue

to travel with me,

and it will be some time

before I dine publicly indoors.

Slow & Steady.

Celebrate EVERY win!

Love You,

Cloudia & Pixie
