Ordinary Wholeness

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Music in the soul
can be heard
by the universe.
Lao Tzu






Wholeness is ordinary,
it's simple.
It doesn't come
with fireworks.
It's the undisturbed calmness
inherent to the space
that is you.
Laurie Buchanan







Anyone can love a rose,
but it takes a lot
to love a leaf.
It's ordinary to love
the beautiful, but it's
beautiful to love
the ordinary.
     MJ Korvan





Being happy doesn't mean
that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. Gerard Way

Love You,

If you pursue evil with pleasure, the pleasure passes away and the evil remains; If you pursue good with labor, the labor passes away but the good remains. Cicero
