Quarters and Pennies

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Things were launching
themselves from
the ornate sunburst spires,
glittering leech shapes made
of shifting planes of light.
There were hundreds of them,
rising in a whirl, their
movements random as
windblown paper
down dawn streets.
William Gibson



 Joy is uncaused and arises
from within as
the joy of Being.
It is an essential part of
the inner state of peace,
the state that has been called
the peace of God. It is
your natural state,
not something that you need
to work hard for or
struggle to attain.
Eckhart Tolle



If you surrendered
to the air,
you could ride it.
  Toni Morrison




It's the ride of life
the journey from
here to there, living and
loving every moment like
we have none to spare.
Jess "Chief" Brynjulson



Be careful who you
call your friends.
I'd rather have
four quarters than
one hundred pennies.
    Al Capone




Be softer with you.
You are a breathing thing.
A memory to someone.
A home to a life.
   Nayyirah Waheed
