Flourish In Adversity

  A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

 You must look into other people as well as at them. Lord Chesterfield


 I’ve loved the stars 
too fondly 
to be fearful
 of the night. 
Galileo



Enlightenment 
is intimacy
with all things.
Dogen





Tears Are Not Defeat

I will not let
circumstances define me
I will not let problems
weigh me down.

I will rise above 
to live my  joy
And flourish 
in adversity.
Pixie

I suppose even someone as loved and pampered as Pixie would have to overcome some adversity.
