A L O H A
From
Honolulu
It is the hour to
rend thy chains,
the blossom time
of souls.
Katharine Lee Bates
Nothing is impossible,
the word itself says
‘I’m possible.’
Audrey Hepburn
Better a diamond with a flaw
than a pebble without.
Confucius
Stay
with what you know
is good.
Not loud.
Not forced.
Only steady.
Keep breathing.
(Keep breathing.)
Unexpected things will come—
messy, sometimes sharp.
Let them arrive.
Don’t lament.
Don’t prevent.
Just meet them—
in your way.
Don’t become the moment.
Shape it.
Gently hold
your sense of right—
the quiet pull of it—
as the longitude,
the latitude
of the heart.
When something drifts in,
meet it gently.
See where it belongs.
And if it won’t fit,
don’t twist yourself
to make it.
Let it pass.
Keep your rhythm.
Keep the trust.
Learn the order
that builds truth
deep into your bones—
not all at once,
but steadily.
Be an old friend
to yourself.
Soft.
Familiar.
Relieving the pressure,
not adding to it.
Return again.
And return again.
And return again—
to what you know is good.
Until one day
you don’t have to return at all,
because it is no longer a place
of pilgimage
it is where you live now.
It has become
your home.
