For Life
A L O H A !
"How like a queen comes
forth the lonely Moon
From the slow opening
curtains of the clouds
Walking in beauty to
her midnight throne!"
George Croly

the most medicinal
emotions we can feel.
It elevates our moods
and fills us with joy."

I am grateful to the birds
for visiting my mornings.
"Join me with your hands,
wings, hoofs or fins.
In my sublime applause.
Join me in the pure
atmosphere of
gratitude. For life."

truly accept, that

The Big Job
A L O H A !
"Fairy tales are
more than true
not because they tell us
that dragons exist but
because they tell us that
dragons can be beaten."
Neil Gaiman
"Somewhere between the
start of the trail and
the end is the mystery:
why we choose to walk.”
Unknown

beautifies everything it covers."

We all want to make that Big Start;
That New Beginning. We want to do
Spring Cleaning. But it's overwhelming.
That's why you don't do it weekly.
We see the entire elephant
and feel good about deciding
to eat it later. Definitely. Gonna do it.
Just not today. But you are just paying
the 'Vig'* on your anxiety and your life.
Bargaining with the boogeyman.*
I had a boss who used to say:
'Just do something today to move
the mission, the contract, the pile of
tasks. The day you leave here, your
In Box will not be empty. That has
to be OK. Just do one thing today,
with all the routine & house keeping.'
Just do the thing you notice,
the thing at hand.
Thank YOU

Through A Crystal
A L O H A !
“Nothing is the truth nor a lie.
Everything depends on the color
Of the crystal through
which one sees it”
Pedro Calderón de la Barca

Of the crystal through

Pedro Calderón de la Barca
“Because one believes in oneself,
one doesn't try to convince others.
Because one is content with oneself,
one doesn't need others' approval.
Because one accepts oneself,
the whole world
accepts him or her.”
Lao Tzu
"We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox."
Nicholas Sparks

Trees and People
A L O H A !
"We're each of us
alone, to be sure.
What can you do
but hold your hand
out in the dark.'
Ursula LeGuin
"When your heart speaks
take good notes."
Judith Campbell
"When you go out into the woods
and you look at trees, you see
all these different trees. And some
of them are bent, and some of them
are straight, and some of them
are evergreens, and some of them
are whatever. And you look at
the tree and you allow it.
You appreciate it.
You see why it is the way it is.
You sort of understand that it
didn’t get enough light, and so
it turned that way. And you don’t
get all emotional about it.
You just allow it.
You appreciate the tree. -
- The minute you get near humans,
you lose all that. And you are
constantly saying “You’re too this,
or I’m too this.” That judging mind
comes in. And so
I practice turning
people into trees.
Which means
appreciating them
just the way
they are."

these dark days of

Kindness is more than deeds.
It is an attitude, an expression,
a look, a touch. It is anything
that lifts another person."

that people never mean half
of what they say, and that it
is best to disregard their talk
