Nothing Is Just One Thing

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

Nothing is just one thing—

The world moves

Up and back in dance,

Opposites hold hands,

Spinning forward

Side by side.

A president and a dreamer

Power and moral hope.

Even in contrast

there’s connection—

Everything grows

from its opposite.

Keep the faith,

smell the roses

More is baking

than one supposes.

Cloudia Charters

Four ducks on a pond,

A grass-bank beyond,

A blue sky of spring,

White clouds on the wing;

What a little thing

To remember for years

To remember with tears!

William Allingham

Every positive thought

is a silent prayer

which will

change your life.

Bryant McGill

The requirements for

this time are not the

familiar ones of achievement

and growth, clarity and power.

No, this season is asking

for a new rhythm, one

that is more attuned to

humility and listening,

stillness and rest.

I hope each of you finds

little pockets of refuge

that support your

intimacy with soul.

Francis Weller

the right path, you create

a golden fate for yourself and

you also become

a silver lining for the others! Mehmet Murat ildan

A good traveler

has no fixed plans and is not intent

upon arriving. A good artist

lets intuition lead wherever it wants. Lao-Tzu

If we look at the world with a love of life, the world will reveal its beauty to us. Daisaku Ikeda

I adore simple pleasures. They are the last refuge of the complex. Oscar Wilde

The Beautiful and Good

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

We shall find peace.

We shall hear angels,

we shall see the sky

sparkling with diamonds. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

With age comes wisdom,

but also the awareness

of how little we know.

Anonymous

Youth is a gift of nature,

but age is a work of art.

Stanislaw Jerzy Lec

Life doesn't always

get better.

But you do.

You get stronger.

You get wiser. You get softer.

With tattered wings you rise.

And the world watches

in wonder at the breathless

beauty of a human

who survived life.

L.R. Knost

Every year of my life

I grow more convinced

that it is wisest and best

to fix our attention

on the beautiful and

good, and dwell as

little as possible on

the dark and the base.

Richard Cecil

Magical Thing Sweet To Remember.

A L O H A From

H O N O L U L U

Be nice to people…

maybe it’ll be unappreciated, unreciprocated, or ignored,

but spread the love anyway.

We rise by lifting others.

Germany Kent

Our world needs

more loving hearts.

Avijeet Das

Don’t just be yourself.

Be all of your selves.

Joss Whedon

I often think that the night

is more alive and more richly

colored than the day.

Vincent van Gogh

The darkest night is often the bridge to the brightest tomorrow. Jonathan L. Huie

I heard a bird sing
in the dark of December.
A magical thing. And
sweet to remember.
We are nearer to Spring than
we were in September.
I heard a bird sing in
the dark of December.

You Too Can

A pink sky welcomes
beauty, joy, & promise.
A pink sky makes my
hopeful heart sing!

Cloudia

Cultivating goodwill

isn't just about

giving to others

—it's about giving

to yourself, too.

When we treat ourselves

with kindness, we create

a benevolent mindset that

fuels our ability to spread joy

and connection to

those around us.

Kristin Neff

We all need fresh starts. That's why the sun comes up everyday. A. Nony Mouse

Do not be afraid of defeat.

you are never

so near victory

as when defeated

in a good cause.

Henry Ward Beecher

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. Mark Twain
