What is possible?

The practical,

simple and kind.

We work, love and help

others as best we can,

gawk at nature, rest.

Is that it?

Pretty much...age teaches us

that kind, simple and practical

are enough, even in the

face of the worst. Anne Lamott

Two duties belong

to our souls.
One is to

reverently marvel.
The other is

humbly to endure...

Delightful Reality

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

Delight in itself is

the approach of sanity.

Delight is to open our eyes

to the reality of the situation...

Chogyam Trungpa

I love morning motion—

So much to do!

Workers rushing,

Hurrying Youth 

Elders wait patiently

For their bus.

I hold them all 

In my heart.

Refuse any thought

The Glancing Moment

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

The highest goal

that we can achieve

is amazement.

  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

                Theory of Colours

...take the spirit

of the evenings in your arms kiss it deeply. Sanober Khan

Anything you can do that

helps another person to

relax, to take a breath,

to gain a tiny grain of perspective,

is a holy and patriotic act

at this time. Your sanity

and your heart are the most valuable

commodity in the world today.

Preserve them, guard them,

share them wisely. The world

needs you and me: average people

who care, and think, and vote!
Cloudia

 This time in my life is dedicated to healing deeply, while attracting happiness. Sylvester McNutt III

Rainbows are gay space lasers.

That's why they're not straight.

Oliver Markus Malloy @ommalloy

Fiery words 

quick and dark

Leave a wound that 

lingers and sparks.

Silent long breath, 

a moment to take,

Mends the bridge

before it breaks.

His ignorance

Good people do not 

need laws to tell them 

to act responsibly, 

while bad people will 

find a way around the laws.

 Plato (427-347 B.C.)

You can avoid reality, 

but you cannot avoid 

the consequences 

of avoiding reality.

King of Drinks

He sits a moment,
on beverage cartons,
resting a moment,
catching his breath.

The street hums around him,
not seeing his small kingdom,
His throne of bottles,

then he lifts a box again,
and the workday
keeps on moving.

On a fresh grilled bun

golden and fine, Nestles this patty

juicy, sublime!

Japanese Model 95 Light Tank

The Type 95 Ha‑Go was effective early in WWII—fast: cheap, useful against infantry and light opposition—but by mid‑war it was under‑armed and under‑armored, outmatched by Allied tanks and often used as a mobile pillbox or packed with explosives as

"suicide tank" driven toward

enemy lines to explode.

Doubt your doubts

yourself. Lewis Pugh

Spiritual freedom does not
come from stability.
It comes from relaxing
into instability.
