A  L  O  H  A !
She carried a thousand lights 
inside her heart, and a 
thousand lights carried her.

If only I could see myself 
from the same vantage point 
that I observe the world; 
I might judge my behavior and 
expressions more critically, 
and others less.

spread and heal.

quiet joy you
allow yourself to feel.

Old Nonsense

A  L  O  H  A !
I only know how to approach a place by walking. 
For what does a street photographer do 
but walk and watch and wait and talk, 
and then watch and wait some more, 
trying to remain confident that the 
unexpected, the unknown, or the secret 
heat of the known awaits just 
around the corner. 
Alex Webb

Do the thing and you will have the power.
Ralph Waldo Emerson










Finish each day and be done with it. 
You have done what you could. 
Some blunders and absurdities 
no doubt crept in; forget them 
as soon as you can. . .







. . . Tomorrow is a new day; 
begin it well and serenely 
and with too high a spirit 
to be encumbered with 
your old nonsense.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Not For Everyone

A  L  O  H  A !

I realize that humor 
isn't for everyone.
 It's only for people 
who want to have fun, 
enjoy life, and feel alive.
Anne Wilson Schaef 









Those who love deeply
 never grow old;
 they may die of old age, 
but they die young.
Benjamin Franklin









Waikiki By Night
There was a sky somewhere 
above the tops of the buildings, 
with stars and a moon and 
all the things there are in a sky, 
but they were content to think 
of the distant street lights 
as planets and stars. If the lights 
prevented you from seeing the heavens, 
then perform a little magic and change 
reality to fit the need. The street lights 
were now planets and stars and moon.
Hubert Selby Jr.
















There are truths 
which one can see 
only when it’s dark

Dare to Believe
