compassion for the unhappy,
delight in the virtuous,
and indifference toward the wicked."

This lovely world
is a habitrail for humans.
Along the street,
up & down escalators,
past the beach;
Our cities are tunnels
of commerce and feeding.
Of parting
and meeting.
Of parting
and meeting.
This human ant-farm-
Isn't it lovely to be
a part of it all!
Aloha Everybody!
I know we all agreed
to "not know each other'
for a while-
and that game is fun
with all sorts of possibilities.
But I could never keep a
secret;
I remember quite clearly:
We love one another!
So aloha brother, sister,
cousin -
ALOHA!
warmly, cloudia
sista' When you hit Detroit hey? This not knowing each other for awhile thing, you seen it happen? Good means the connection still alive. It is an odd world we live in and a strange place that never fails to provide fascination--if we but look.
