Never A Place

A  L  O  H  A !

When the world is at your back, 

and your heart is at your feet, 

the best way to go is to just be.

    Jennifer Megan Varnadore

Learning how to love is the goal 

and the purpose of spiritual life—

not learning how to develop psychic powers, not learning how to bow, chant, do yoga,

or even meditate, but learning to love.

Lama Surya Das

One's destination is never a place,

but a new way of seeing things.

Life is a voyage

best made by 

paddling together.

Our Differences

are ever at war 

with our Commonalities. 

Be careful which you feed.

Calmness is a superpower. 

The ability to not overreact or 

take things personally

is real power.

presents and listen.

looking forward, I am filled with vision,

looking upwards I am filled with strength, 

looking within, I discover peace

Drinking With Young Elvis in Waikiki

How Times Have Changed:

"Chad Gates [Elvis]:

You know what you need? 

A good old-fashioned spanking.

Ellie Corbett:

M-Maybe I do. Nobody ever cared enough 

about me. Even for that.

Chad Gates:

Alright, Eleanor. I better prove that somebody 

does care. [He pulls her over his lap]

Ellie Corbett:

You wouldn't dare.

Chad Gates:

Oh wouldn't I dare? Wouldn't I? [He spanks her, and Ellie begins to cry out] I got a feeling that this is gonna make both of us an awful lot better."

Shine For Ever More

A  L  O  H  A !

This evening is as brief as 

the twinkling of an eye yet 

such twinklings are what 

eternity is made of-

- moments when we human beings 

can say "I love you," "I'm proud of you," 

"I forgive you," "I'm grateful for you." 

That's what eternity is made of: 

invisible imperishable good stuff.

        Fred Rogers

There is no death. 

The stars go down to rise 

upon some other shore. And 

bright in Heaven's jeweled crown, 

they shine for ever more.

Wise Cat

A  L  O  H  A !

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. 

I am strongly in favor of common sense, 

common honesty, and common decency.

This makes me forever ineligible

Pause.

Breathe.

3 Deep Grateful Breaths.

Repeat

throughout the day!

Night, when words 

fade and 

things come alive. 

When the destructive 

analysis of day is done, 

and all that is 

truly important 

becomes whole 

and sound again. 

When man reassembles 

his fragmentary self 

and grows 

with the calm of a tree.
