Permit yourself to change

your mind when something

is no longer working for you.

 Nedra Glover Tawwab

A bridge of silver wings

stretches from the dead ashes

of an unforgiving nightmare to the jeweled vision of

a life started anew. Aberjhani

 When the mind is blurred,

everything becomes blurred

even on the brightest day;

when mind is clear everything

becomes clear even

on the foggiest day! Mehmet Murat ildan

True hearts beat

with authentic grace. In simplicity

connection finds a space.

Don't worry if you're making waves

just by being yourself.

The moon does it all the time.

No Greater Journey

A L O H A From Honolulu!

No matter

how dark the night,

somehow the sun rises

once again and all

shadows are chased away.

David Matthew

In a forest of a hundred

thousand trees, no two

leaves are alike. And

no two journeys along the

same path are alike.

Paulo Coelho

Until you spread your wings,

you'll have no idea

how far you can fly.

   Napoleon Bonaparte 

There is no greater journey than

the one that you must take

to discover all of the mysteries

that lie within you.

Michelle Sandlin

When we love, we always strive

to become better than we are.

When we strive to become

better than we are,

everything around us

becomes better too. Paulo Coelho

Milk's Leap

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Behind the fronds, a fiery birth,
Sun ignites the sleeping Earth.
Golden fingers seeking find,
Palm trees swaying heart and mind.

Banana Tree

You can't teach calculus
to a chimpanzee.
So just share your banana.
John Rachel

The secret of life is

enjoying the passage of time.

James Taylor

There's a period of life when we swallow a knowledge of ourselves and it becomes either good or sour inside. Pearl Bailey

A lion does not flinch at

laughter coming from a hyena.

A gorilla does not budge from a

banana thrown at it by a monkey.

A nightingale does not stop

singing its beautiful song at

the intrusion of an

annoying woodpecker. Suzy Kassem

Cheese is milk's leap

toward immortality.

Clifton Fadiman

There is no sense in crying

over spilt milk.

Why bewail what is done

and cannot be recalled?

Sophocles

Imperfection Most Sublime

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Close your eyes,

let sunlight paint

Her soft brushstrokes

upon your soul.

In quietude remember

The child who knew how

to make herself whole.

Stars my ceiling

moon my guide

Peace within

dreams applied.

The shell may be

built on a curve, but

the pearl within is perfect.

Imperfections can give birth

to the most sublime beauty.

    Rumi

Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts. Martin Buxbaum

Excites

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We tend to look for greatness
always in somebody else
rather than yourself.
Go inside and
get your sound.
Carlos Santana

What do you see

a woman? A man?

Someone like you?

Someone strange?

Or do you see a heart

and a soul? Because

that is what matters

to us when we

truly understand.

The point of good behavior
is to communicate our
respect for others.
Chogyam Trungpa

Respond to every call that excites your spirit. Rumi

Charming Gardeners

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy. Fred De Witt Van Amburgh

Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending. Jim Henson

Let us be grateful to people

who make us happy,

they are the charming gardeners

who make our souls blossom.

Marcel Proust

Always act like you are

wearing an invisible crown.

Laugh Light

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Next time a sunrise

steals your breath

or a meadow of flowers

leave you speechless,

remain that way.

Say nothing,

and listen as Heaven

whispers, do you like it?

I did it just for you.

Max Lucado

Night does not show things,

it suggests them. It disturbs

and surprises us

with its strangeness.

It liberates forces within us

which are dominated by our

reason during the daytime.

Brassai

Finding solace in a face.

Gentle knowing grace,

Map of kindness, 

A heart benign

Reflecting the good

That we hope to find!

Shield us gently

With love's embrace,

May our laughter light

The world's soft space.
