"A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning,
as if supported by the rays of the sun,
a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee,
joy accompanied me as I walked."
Anais Nin




Walking Man's Hula Lesson

"For me, the vast marvel is to be alive.
For man, or for flowers or beast or bird,
the supreme triumph is to be most vividly and perfectly alive."
Al Purdy










“Education is a kind of continuing dialogue,
and a dialogue assumes different points of view.”

Ah, "Black Friday!"
Consumerism run riot.
Some commence a season of
hurry;
others of us
simply enjoy this annual
respite from the ordinary.

Whatever your day holds,
take a moment
to pause
and look at where you've come.

Congratulations!


ALOHA,
