Becomes Radiance

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

What is a soul?
It's like electricity -
we don't really know what it is,
but it's a force that
can light a room.
Ray Charles

A wizard must

have passed this way

Since—was it

only yesterday?

Then all was bare,

and now, behold,

A hundred cups

of living gold!

Emma C. Dowd,

"Daffodil and Crocus,"

April 1902

We must have the

stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of the world. Jack Gilbert

Learning how to be still. To really be still and let life happen. That stillness becomes radiance. Morgan Freeman

In all chaos,

there is a cosmos,

in all disorder,

a secret order.

I understand so clearly

that love itself is our birthright.

We may have become

distant from it, but

it's not something we're born

without. Therefore it's always

there for us to return to.

Oh, the summer night,

Has a smile of light,

And she sits on

a sapphire throne.

Beauty is not what 
you are on the outside,
it is the wisdom and 
time you gave away to
save another struggling 
soul like you.

         Shannon L. Alder

 Don’t seek to be happy;

let everyone else chase

after that rainbow.

Seek to be kind, and

you’ll find

the rainbow follows you.

When pure sincerity 

forms within, it is

outwardly realized in

other people's hearts.

what makes them
sit up and
take notice.

I love all dots. 

I am married to many of them. 

I want all dots to be happy. 

Dots are my brothers. 

I am a dot myself. 

Sigmar Polke

I've always loved polka dots. 

Ah, oui. It is a joyful shape, 

the polka dot. It is alive. 

Agnes Varda

Polka dots are fabulous.

Look past your thoughts,
 so you may drink 
the pure nectar of 
This Moment. 
          Rumi

 Live each 
season
 as it passes;
 breathe the air,
 drink the drink,
 taste the fruit, and
 resign yourself
 to the influences
 of each. 
Henry David Thoreau

All the windows 
of my heart 
I open to 
the day.

Lovely Portals

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

How lovely are the portals of the night, when stars come out to watch the daylight die. Thomas Cole

Soft tropical light
filtering
through the palms.
“They will still bear fruit
in old age, they will stay
fresh and green."

Psalm 92:14

Photography deals exquisitely

with appearances, but nothing

is what it appears to be.

Duane Michals

Beyond the edge of sorrow
Awaits another tomorrow.
Soft dawn ends
The quiet night,
Filling shadows
With hopeful light.

Steps may falter,
hearts may ache,
Yet morning comes
And sleepers wake.
So hold this promise
Deep and true
New days bloom
And so can you.
