To Stars And Birds

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Hope is being able to see that 

there is light despite all of 

the darkness.

    Desmond Tutu




 In the hopes of 
reaching the moon 
people fail to see the 
flowers that blossom 
at their feet.
Albert Schweitzer






Confidence is the sweet spot
between arrogance and despair-
consisting of positive expectations
for favorable outcomes.
Rosabeth Moss Kanter





Practice kindness all day
to everybody and you will realize
you're already in heaven now.
Jack Kerouac

To listen to stars and birds, 
babes and sages, 
with open heart;
To let the spiritual, 
unbidden and unconscious,
 grow up through the common-
-this is my symphony.
William Henry Channing

1810 - 1884

Hope is sometimes difficult to find but it is always there if you look deep. Confidence is also a good thing but a lot of people do mix that up with also being arrogant.

I just started "On the Road" by Kerouac. Never took the time before. Interesting!
