Nothing Is Just One Thing

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Nothing is just one thing—  
The world moves
Up and back in dance,  
Opposites hold hands,  
Spinning forward
Side by side.  

A president and  a dreamer
Power and moral hope.
Even in contrast 
there’s connection—  
Everything grows 
from its opposite.

Keep the faith, 
smell the roses
More is baking 
than one supposes.
   Cloudia Charters

 Four ducks on a pond,
 A grass-bank beyond, 
A blue sky of spring, 
White clouds on the wing; 
What a little thing 
To remember for years 
To remember with tears!
 William Allingham



Every positive thought 
is a silent prayer
which will 
change your life.
            Bryant McGill 




The requirements for 
this time are not the 
familiar ones of achievement 
and growth, clarity and power. 
No, this season is asking 
for a new rhythm, one 
that is more attuned to 
humility and listening, 
stillness and rest. 
I hope each of you finds 
little pockets of refuge 
that support your 
intimacy with soul.
   Francis Weller

"More is baking than one supposes."
We're going to find out, aren't we? I'm sure the orange menace has plans to destroy as much as he can.
