Enough

 A L O H A From 
H O N O L U L U

 There is no sport equal to that
which aviators enjoy
while being carried 
through the air on 
great white wings. 
Wilbur Wright, 
1905



One way can be learned 
by starting to see the 
magic in everything. 
Sometimes it seems to be hiding 
but it is always there. 
The more we can see the magic 
in one thing, a tiny flower, a 
mango, someone we love, 
then the more we are able to 
see the magic in everything 
and in everyone. 
Joshua Kadison



Very little is needed 
to make a happy life; 
it is all within yourself 
in your way of thinking.
The object of life is 
not to be on 
the side of the majority, 
but to escape 
finding oneself in 
the ranks of the insane.
            Marcus Aurelius





Enough

A willow bends
Beside the stream,  
No need to chase
Some distant dream.  
Its leaves just flutter
Soft and slow-  
No urge to stay
No need to go.

A pebble sits
On shallow sand,  
Not diamond, gold
Valuable or grand.  
It simply rests
The sun its friend,  
Content to be
With no pretend.

The world spins on
Bright and gray,  
Clouds gather
Then drift away.  
Within this breath
I softly stay-  
Not lost, not found
Just here
Okay.

When we choose to see the magic in the small things, the world slowly reveals its quiet brilliance everywhere.

The dog in the carriage is cute. There's a lady that takes her 18 year old Chihuahua for walks in his carriage. She takes him out and lets him walk around on the grass and then when he's done she'll pick him back up and put him back in the carriage.
