Becomes Radiance

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


What is a soul?
It's like electricity -
we don't really know what it is,
but it's a force that
can light a room.
Ray Charles





A wizard must
have passed this way
Since—was it
only yesterday?
Then all was bare,
and now, behold,
A hundred cups
of living gold!
Emma C. Dowd,
"Daffodil and Crocus,"
April 1902



We must have the
stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of the world. Jack Gilbert






Learning how to be still. To really be still and let life happen. That stillness becomes radiance. Morgan Freeman

The happiness consists in realizing that it is all a great strange dream. Jack Kerouac

...you all need help from others, but being self reliant is a good thing too.

Ok, now I'm thinking of being still and stubborn, but above all joyous! Which all these photos definitely help!

I love the photo of what I guess is a smiling daddy, mummy, child and two dogs.
