Knock Down The Old Gray Wall

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U


In a garden you can find, 
quiet thoughts 
that calm the mind.
.....one can taste the 
full joys of anticipation. 
Spring stands at the gate 
with her finger on the latch.
   Patience strong






In a meadow full of flowers, 
you cannot walk through 
and breathe those smells 
and see all those colours 
and remain angry. 
We have to support the 
beauty, the poetry, of life.
Jonas Mekas 



In each of us there is a spark 
that can reverse the trends 
of violence and depression 
spiraling within us and 
in the world around us. 
By setting in motion the spiral of gratefulness we begin the 
journey toward peace and joy. 
  Brother David Steindl-Rast

The mind can be a very powerful tool for many thints. If you look for that spark your mind will carry you to a better place in life but not all people are able to do it.
