If We Laugh And Sing A Little

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
If we laugh and
sing a little as
we fight the good fight
of freedom, it makes it
all go easier. I will not
allow my life's light to
be determined by the
darkness around me. Sojourner Truth



I survived because the
dumpster fire within me
burned brighter that the
dumpster fire around me.
Feral Cat Saying


Real freedom comes 
when we discover 
the goodness connected 
with our beliefs, 
if they are love 
for what is good. 

Being motivated by anger 
and hatred is not freedom. 
It is mental slavery.
Swedenborg



For every shadow
There’s light to find,  
Each struggle unearths 
a much stronger mind.  

So breathe in the present, 
let gratitude swell,  
Life is a gift, and 
you’re living it well!

"If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom,"
I don't know if I can laugh and sing that much for the next 4 years.
