Compelling

 A L O H A  From  
H O N O L U L U

Each time dawn appears, 
the mystery is there 
in its entirety. 
        Rene Daumal







Educating the mind without 
educating the heart, is 
no education at all.
               Aristotle 






There's never any closure 
in an awe-inspired life, 
only constant acceptance 
of the mysteries of life.
      Paul Pearsall



In hard times, people don't
want to be told to look
on the bright side.
They want to know
you're on their side.
Even if you can't help them
feel better, you can always
help them feel seen.
The best way to support
others is not to cheer them up.
It's to show up.
            Adam Grant






Let the Good in me
connect with the good
in others, until the world
is transformed through the
compelling power of love.
   Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

    The one quote got me thinking about the song about looking on the bright side of life. It’s a fun song.

    These quotes are priceless. I really need to learn how to be there for others and not to try to cheer them up. It's hard when those you love are suffering. Happy new year dear friend!

    That quote really resonates. It’s a reminder that empathy often speaks louder than positivity. In difficult times, it’s not about finding the silver lining—it’s about being present and offering genuine support. When someone is struggling, just knowing that you’re there for them, ready to listen and understand, can make a world of difference
