A L O H A From Honolulu!
Kindness is unconquerable.
But you must not do this
with sarcasm or reproach,
but lovingly and without
anger in your soul.
Marcus Aurelius
Every time you praise something,
every time you appreciate something,
every time you feel good about something,
you are telling the Universe,
"More of this, Please."
Abraham Hicks
Stony king
Your head held high,
How your mane and tail
catch my eye!
No roar required-
your pose demands:
"I'm fearsome leader
of the sculpted lands!"
You are a friend,
Lion carved in stone,
Silent guardian of the
years we have known.
We should measure the
prosperity of a nation not by
the number of millionaires, but
by the absence of poverty,
the prevalence of health, the
efficiency of the public schools,
and the number of people who
can and do read worthwhile books.
W. E. B. Du Bois
Dare to love yourself
as if you were a rainbow
with gold at both ends.
Aberjhan
Nothing is worth more
than laughter. It is
strength to laugh and to
abandon oneself, to be light.
Frida Kahlo

ReplyDeleteYour quote from W.E.B.Dubois is really perfect for our time.

So many of us need to think about this.

Thanks again for the beauty of your photos. I liked the other quote about praise and appreciation. Will probably copy it for my quote "file."
