the Upward Struggle

A L O H A !

 
play the song

The struggle upward
is on-going.







 It will be finished
for you & me
long before it is over.







All we can do is
each
our own part.



 Every moment,
every interaction with another,
is an opportunity
a choice:
to up-lift
or to down-cast.

So-

Be a happy warrior
give (self) peace a chance
and in the truest way
the wo-orld will live
as one.


 Thank YOU
for bringing the gift of your presence.

    I try to be a peaceful warrior, and I usually succeed. Except when others attack me.
