Knock Down The Old Gray Wall

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

In a garden you can find, 

quiet thoughts 

that calm the mind.

.....one can taste the 

full joys of anticipation. 

Spring stands at the gate 

with her finger on the latch.

   Patience strong

In a meadow full of flowers, 

you cannot walk through 

and breathe those smells 

and see all those colours 

and remain angry. 

We have to support the 

beauty, the poetry, of life.

Jonas Mekas 

In each of us there is a spark 

that can reverse the trends 

of violence and depression 

spiraling within us and 

in the world around us. 

By setting in motion the spiral of gratefulness we begin the 

journey toward peace and joy.

Feed the hungry, and 

help those in trouble.
Then your light will 

shine out from the darkness, 

and the darkness around you 

will be as bright as noon.
Isaiah 58:10

Those who cannot 

change their minds 

cannot change anything.

  George Bernard Shaw

You do not really 

understand something

unless you can 

explain it to your 

grandmother.

 Albert Einstein

The only factor that 

can give protection
from the destructive 

effects of anger and hatred
is the practice of 

tolerance and patience.
Dalai Lama

It is a quiet life 

Not a lot to say 

But I love having 

You with me 

Together 

Through the day.

Whispers Of The Moon (Peace Lilies)

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Cover me
With the red sky tonight
The promise of a
better day to come
Sing over me
An angelic symphony
Tell me everything
will be alright
With the red sky tonight.

 Old cars are not 

just metal and paint, 

they're time machines 

that hold the 

stories of our past.

  Dale Earnhardt Jr. 

Here in muted morning light,  
Peace lilies bloom
Crispy and white.  
Little moons afloat
On seas of green,  
Their quiet glow
A tranquil scene.  

Green leaves
Are waves in shadows play,  
Inviting hope 
To breathe upon the day.  
Each petal embodies
Calm quite near,  
Pleas for peace
May all of us hear!

Beneath the trees
They spritely sway,  
Guardians of a softer way.  
This field of moons
Serene and bright,  
Inviting us to view the world
In their own 
More tender light.

We are all strangers 

in a strange land, 

longing for home, but 

not quite knowing what 

or where home is. 

We glimpse it sometimes 

in our dreams, or as 

we turn a corner, and 

suddenly there is a strange, 

sweet familiarity that vanishes 

almost as soon as it comes.

Grab All The Grounded You Can

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Old age, believe me, is

a good and pleasant thing.

It is true you are gently

shouldered off the stage,

but then you are given

such a comfortable front stall

as spectator.

Confucius

When one with honeyed words

but evil mind

Persuades the mob,

great woes befall the state.

Euripides, Orestes

They were all dressed 

in their finest 

as though life really were 

some magical stage play 

in which every moment 

ought to be illuminated 

with its own bright spotlight.

 Anna Godbersen

The world is a stage,

 but the play 

is badly cast. 

Oscar Wilde

Beneath the moon’s

Soft silver gleam,

The world dissolves

Into a dream.

Petals close

Stars take flight,

Healing pervades

This quiet night.

A breath, a sigh

In stillness deep,

My soul surrenders

Gladly to sleep.

Where rivers glow

My memories play,

With dreams of tomorrow

As I drift away.

Piece Bit

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Our days are happier
when we give people
a bit of our heart rather
than a piece of our mind.
Ritu Ghatourney

Because if everything 

were explained, 

there would be nothing 

left to figure out.

Brianna Wiest

The child has a different 

relationship with his 

environment than we do. 

The child absorbs what 

is happening around him. 

The things he sees 

he doesn't just remember, 

they form part of his soul.

  Maria Montessori

An animal's eyes 

have the power to speak 

a great language.

Follow your bliss

 and the universe 

will open doors

 for you where there 

were only walls.

 Joseph Campbell

3 Ages, Three Stages

Girl 

The morning dew, 

Soft and bright,  

A butterfly dances 

In golden light.  

Laughter spills 

Like a bubbling stream,  

Life unfolds as 

A waking dream.

Woman

Midday sun, 

Steady and strong,  

Paths Multiply, 

Some short, some long.  

Mountains rise

 Rivers wind,  

Learning truths 

Both harsh and kind.

Wise Elder 

Early evening moon,

Serene and near,  

Whispers of wisdom 

Lingering clear.  

Leaves fall gently 

at twilight’s glow,  

In quiet peace 

Let the seasons flow.  

Like the lotus rising 

From mud to me  

Each stage blooms

In its own beauty.
