What-Ifs Don't Count

A L O H A

YOU!


Welcome to Friday in Waikiki

"Living well is the best revenge."

George Herbert

"Whenever people say 'we mustn't be sentimental,'

you can take it they are about to do something cruel.

And if they add, 'we must be realistic,'

they mean they are going to make money out of it."

Brigid Antonia Brophy

"What-if"
is a waste of time and energy.
Sure,
do a household fire drill;
do your homework,
visit the dentist.

I'm talking about:
"What if!"
Free floating angst
masquerades as prudence
but it really is
a jackal.


When the time comes
should it come
you will find in those moments
a way, a hint, a grace
that what-ifs
do not call up.

So do not worry,
it's just a pernicious habit.
Trust yourself
trust life
trust your faith.


Spin and tack
in the currents of life.
You are one beautiful
fish.
