Let My Soul Smile

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U
Call for the grandest of all earthly spectacles, what is that? It is the sun going to his rest. Thomas de Quincey

Let my soul smile 
through my heart and 
my heart smile 
through my eyes, that 
I may scatter rich smiles 
in sad hearts.
     Paramahansa Yogananda





 You wanna fly, 
you got to give up 
the shit that 
weighs you down.
 Toni Morrison




The spiral is a 
spiritualized circle. 
In the spiral form, 
the circle, uncoiled, 
has ceased to be vicious; 
it has been set free.
Vladimir Nabokov



If you see someone 
without a smile today, 
give 'em yours.
    Dolly Parton

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia


The world may spin
At frantic haste,  
But inside, stillness
Sets the pace.  

So let the winds
Of life collide,  
But in my heart
Calm will abide.  
Pixie

  2. I love the Dolly Parton quote and the Pixie poem. I thought, at first, that we were supposed to give Pixie our smiles, but after reading her poem, I realized that she is just totally chill today.

  21. All quite profound quotes. I have given up the shit that weighed me down, although it has taken me a lifetime. And now, like Dolly, I smile at the people that don't seem to have done that yet.
    Enjoy your weekend,
    Lisca
