Two Duties

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

I am too old
to be frightened.
And that's the
great freedom. Because
one day I will
learn the big secret.
Sir Anthony Hopkins 




To free us from the
expectations of others,
to give us back to ourselves-
-there lies the great, singular
power of self-respect.
  Joan Didion









Hibiscus calyphyllus 
 The lemonyellow rosemallow
Those who bring sunshine
to the lives of others 
cannot keep it
from themselves.     
      James Matthew Barrie





This fire 
that we call Loving
is too strong 
for human minds.
But just right 
for human souls.
      Aberjhani

Two duties 
belong to our souls.
One is to 
reverently marvel.
The other is 
humbly to endure...
    Julian of Norwich
