A Hopeful Phrase

A L O H A From Honolulu!

There was never a night

or a problem that could

defeat sunrise or hope.

Bernard Williams

When it comes to staying young,

a mind-lift beats a

face-lift any day.

People, even more than things, 

have to be restored, renewed, 

revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; 

never throw out anyone.

           Audrey Hepburn

The waving of flags and

the singing of anthems are

poor substitutes for

intelligent citizenship.

Carl Sagan

Patriotism is love of country,

but love of country that

makes you love your countrymen.

James Baldwin

There is gold

through the grays.

A hopeful phrase!

With gentle hands

On a quiet tide,

I release the burdens

Once held inside.

No longer clinging

to shadows in flight,

I release all the clamor

and welcome the light.

In gentle surrender

All wisdom unfolds,

Letting go of the storm,

embraces true gold.

So step into stillness

with heart open wide,

Where acceptance and

gratitude softly reside.

Authenticity is having the courage

to let people see you as you really are.
