Take A Day

A   L   O   H   A  !

Each person deserves a day away 
in which no problems are confronted, 
no solutions searched for.  
Each of us needs to withdraw from the
cares which will not withdraw from us.
          Maya Angelou








Pumehana Street runs to the Mountains
Me ke aloha 
pumehana, 
With the warmth of my love
                                                                                    Link










Rest is not idleness, and 
to lie sometimes on the grass 
under trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water, 
or watching the clouds float across the sky, 
is by no means a waste of time.
                     John Lubbock









A quiet secluded life in the country, 
with the possibility of being useful 
to people to whom it is easy to do good, 
and who are not accustomed 
to have it done to them; 
then work which one hopes 
may be of some use; 
then rest, nature, books, music, 
love for one's neighbor — 
such is my idea of happiness.
                     Leo Tolstoy


Love You,

Simplicity Pledge

A    L    O    H    A  !
You couldn't just pick and choose at will 
when someone depended on you, 
or loved you. 
It wasn't like a light switch, 
easy to turn on or off. 
If you were in, you were in. 
Out, you were out.
           Sarah Dessen











Strange how complicated 
we can make things just 
to avoid showing 
what we feel!
        Erich Maria Remarque









“It is not so long ago that a member of the Diplomatic Body in London, who had spent some years of his service in China, told me that there was a Chinese curse which took the form of saying, ‘May you live in interesting times.’ There is no doubt that the curse has fallen on us.”
“We move from one crisis to another. We suffer one disturbance and shock after another.”
                            Sir Austen Chamberlain, 
addressing the annual meeting of Birmingham Unionist Association
March, 1936











The most complicated skill
is to be simple.
 Dejan Stojanovic

The Magician's Advice

A    L    O    H    A   !
To practice magic is to be a quack; 
to know magic is to be a sage.
                  Éliphas Lévi 









We CAN possess that which we seek, 
namely, profound peace. 

Regret nothing which must end, 
but remember with satisfaction 
that we meet with good in all. 

Hope is a certitude, for we know 
that good is eternal and evil transitory. 

Enjoy solitude but do not fly
the society of people; 
Be a child with children, 
joyous with the young, 
staid with the old, 
patient with the foolish, 
happy with the wise. 

Smile with all who smile, 
and mourn with all who weep; 
applauding strength, yet be
indulgent to weakness; offending no one.

Have no need to pardon, simply 
never think yourself offended! 
Pity those who misconceive you,
 and seek an opportunity to serve them; 
by the force of kindness only 
avenge yourself on the ungrateful...
Judge not; speak hardly at all; 
love and act.
                     Éliphas Lévi 











We look on the wicked as invalids 
whom one must pity and cure; 
the world, with its errors and vices, is 
God's hospital, and we wish to serve in it.
Without fears and without desires, 
dominated by no falsehood, sharing no error, 
loving without illusion, suffering 
without impatience, reposing in 
the quietude of eternal thought...
                     Éliphas Lévi 
born Alphonse Louis Constant 
(February 8, 1810 – May 31, 1875) 
"French occult author and ceremonial magician."
