Better Day Coming

A  L  O  H  A !

The scariest demons

of darkest night -

- Fade in the glory of

morning's good light.

Lies kill the spirit. 

But Truth cannot be

hidden forever

There have been tyrants and murderers, 

and for a time, they can seem invincible,

 but in the end, they always fall. 

Think of it--always.

             Mahatma Gandhi

Three things in human life are important. 

The first is to be kind. 

The second is to be kind. And 

the third is to be kind.     

        Henry James

Some beautiful paths 

can't be discovered 

without getting lost.

 Erol Ozan

 Even if I hide myself in the deepest closet, 

in a cheetah overnight rolling bag,

you will seek me and find me 

my human companion.

I rely my on that.

Stars don’t beg the world for attention; 

their beauty forces us to look up.

            Matshona Dhliwayo

Positive

A  L  O  H  A !

Stay positive, all other choices 

are pointless punishments 

to your psyche.

The positive energy and love

Very little is needed 

to make a happy life; it is

A Few Small Wonders

A  L  O  H  A !

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour.

        William Blake

The world is full of magic things, 

patiently waiting for our senses 

to grow sharper.

        W.B. Yeats

The pursuit of truth and beauty is 

a sphere of activity in which 

we are permitted to remain 

children all our lives.

Matter Of Perspective

A  L  O  H  A !

It does not matter how long 

you are spending on the earth, 

how much money you have gathered or 

how much attention you have received. 

It is the amount of positive vibration 

you have radiated in life that matters.

               Amit Ray

Most misunderstandings in the world 

could be avoided if people would 

simply take the time to ask, 

"What else could this mean?”

          Shannon L. Alder

If you look the right way, 

you can see that the whole 

world is a garden.

Watering Hole

A  L  O  H  A !

You didn't come into this world.  

You came out of it, like 

a wave from the ocean.  

You are not a stranger here.  

      Alan Watts

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy amidst the simple beauty of nature. ...I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.  

                   Anne Frank

Return to old watering holes 

for more than water; friends and 

dreams are there to meet you.

                     African Saying

A cloudy day is no match 

for a sunny disposition.

Compassion Is A Verb

A  L  O  H  A !

Cloud and Peak Embrace

Walk as if you are kissing 

the Earth with your feet.

              Thich Nhat Hanh

Expression in a dear face

Sometimes your joy is

the source of your smile, but 

sometimes your smile can 

be the source of your joy.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Cattle in the sugar cane, downtown Honolulu

If you love someone, the greatest gift 

you can give them is your presence. . .

Compassion is a verb. . .

When we are mindful, 

deeply in touch with the present moment, 

our understanding of what is going on 

deepens, and we begin to be filled with 

acceptance, joy, peace and love.

             Thich Nhat Hanh

Letting go gives us freedom, 

and freedom is the only condition for happiness. 

If, in our heart, we still cling to anything 

- anger, anxiety, or possessions - 

we cannot be free. . . . 

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. 

Out of a fear of the unknown, 

they prefer suffering that is familiar.

               Thich Nhat Hanh

Wake Self

A  L  O  H  A !

Misty Mornings

This morning I woke up,

and I was me.

Same place, right time,

same age, same face.

Morning On Tiny Cat's Feet

Sometimes I wonder

if the past 30 years

have only been a dream.

Would the dream fade, or

would all unfold as I had dreamt

so I could buy Apple and Google

the first day shares are offered?

Would I meet my mate?

Might I miss that date?

North King Street, Honolulu

How would life be different

If I were you and you were me?

What heaven or muck-Up

would that turn out to be?

“When I discover who I am, 

I’ll be free.”

Messenger And Message

A  L  O  H  A !

To succeed in life, you need three things: 

a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.

              Reba McEntire

You need to make a commitment, 

and once you make it, then life 

will give you some answers. 

             Les Brown

Same building as photo above

I fell in love with taking pictures, with 

wandering around finding things. 

To me, it feels like a kind of performance. 

The picture is a document of that performance.

Whenever you have truth
