Where Go You Today

Where go You 

today?

To Work?

To Play?

You can have

be handicapped,

but still put confetti

“ People of our time 

are losing the power 

of celebration. 

Instead of celebrating 

we seek to be amused 

or entertained. 

Celebration is an active state, 

an act of 

expressing reverence 

or appreciation. . . "

I’ve learned … 

That love means 

'to let be', 

not 'to fix and improve'.

I’ve learned … 

That when we love, 

it heals.

I’ve learned … 

That the best classroom 

in the world is the present 

moment.

I have learned...

With You!

Hawaii's Radiant Nature finds it's way even into dark places

" Their hope is 

not to be condemned 

to live in loneliness, 

excluded from one of 

civilization's oldest institutions, 

They ask for equal dignity

 in the eyes of the law. 

The [USA]Constitution 

grants them that right. "

“Bodies lay in the sun. 

Bodies stood in the sun.”

Weird quote, but strangely fitting,

don't you think?

Click to see these 

properly oriented workers.

THAT'S 

how you use a wall!

Is a wall, 

merely a heavy fence?

Is a fence just a barrier

you can carry?

" Pick Up Your Fence - 

and WALK! "

“ Dance like there’s 

nobody watching. 

Or filming. Never mind

in the corner

Just keep dancing. ”

Rainbow BELOW

" An authentically empowered 

person is humble.

This does not mean 

the false humility

of one who stoops 

to be with those 

who are below him or her. -

- It is the inclusiveness of

 one who responds

 to the beauty of each soul.

...It is the harmlessness 

of one who treasures,

 honors,

and reveres life 

in all its forms. "
