For Beth...and You

Aloha
to
YOU :)



"Breathless, we flung us on a windy hill,
Laughed in the sun,
and kissed the lovely grass."

Rupert Brooke







"One joy scatters a hundred griefs."

Chinese proverb






"A warrior must learn to make every act count,
since he is going to be here in this world for only a short while,
in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it."

Carlos Castaneda

"Spiritually powerful people
are not necessarily people who
do so much,
as they are people
around whom
things get done.

Gandhi caused the British to leave India,
but he wasn't a man who ran around a lot.

Powerful forces swirled around him."

Marianne Williamson


Aloha, Friend :)

Small acts do add up and do count - why do we tend to discount our own small gestures ...

Great picture of Hawaiian warriors, and I liked the discussion of powerful people.

Nice ..

Did you re-do the blog template?

Charles Gramlich said...

I've long suspected that in many cases a big element of the kind of fame that folks like Gandhi or King acquire is due to their being in the right place at the right time, although I'm sure there is an interaction with their personalities.
