Rough Water Dog

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


There is no need to run,

strive, search or struggle.

Just be. Just being

in the moment in

this place is the

deepest practice

of meditation.

Thich Nhat Hanh



Jacaranda tree

I do not owe my opponents 

my affection, warmth, or regard. 

But I do owe myself a chance 

to live in this world 

without the burden of hate.

 Valarie Kaur





The most important

decision you make is

to be in a good mood.
