Clearly Deeply Slowly Quietly

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Modern luxury is 
the ability to think clearly, 
sleep deeply, move slowly, 
and live quietly in a world 
designed to prevent all four.
Justin Welsh






To see a world 
in a grain of sand and
 heaven in a wild flower 
Hold infinity in
 the palms of your hand
and eternity
 in an hour.
  William Blake




In quiet moments
We are blessed
Where silence speaks
And stillness rests,
There lives a truth
Beyond mere sight
A luminous
Ineffable light.
      Cloudia Charters




The more you 
know yourself, the 
more patience you have 
for what you see 
in others.
  Erik Erikson

  4. The first words are the best. In the modern world it tries to force us to do all the things that we are not meant to do. Everything is fast and loud and there is no time for good sleep.
