Petaluma Poem

A  L  O  H  A !

 If you're grateful, you 

act out of a sense 

of enough and not 

of a sense of scarcity, and 

you are willing to share. -

- If you are grateful, you are 

enjoying the differences 

between people, and 

you are respectful to everybody, 

and that changes this 

power pyramid under 

which we live."

Make Your Own Kind Of Music

A  L  O  H  A !

“Every day brings a choice: 

to practice stress or 

to practice peace.” 

Joan Borysenko

"Nobody can tell ya;

There's only one song worth singin',

They may try and sell ya,

'Cause it hangs them up 
to see someone like you.-

- But you've gotta 

make your own music

Sing your own special song,

Make your own kind of music 

even if nobody else sings along."

Songwriters: Barry Mann / Cynthia Weil

"Blow your life 
through your horn." 

Arturo Sandoval

Urge

A  L  O  H  A !

"So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed,

And yet anon repairs his drooping head,

And tricks his beams, and with new-spangled ore,

Flames in the forehead of the morning sky."

                          John Milton

 "When people talk, 

listen completely.

 Most people

 never listen."

       Ernest Hemingway

 “If you are patient in 

one moment of anger, 

you will escape a 

hundred days of sorrow.”

             Chinese Proverb

" See the geese in chevron flight 

flapping and racing on before the snow 

They've got the urge for going 

and they've got the wings 

so they can go 

They get the urge for going… 

                     Joni Mitchell

Thee, Tree

altar in the fields,

And the blue sky my 

fretted dome shall be,

And the sweet fragrance

that the wild flower yields

Shall be the incense 

I will yield to thee."

A  L  O  H  A !

"Petaluma is a transliteration of the 

Coast Miwok phrase péta lúuma 

which means hill backside[7][8] 

and probably refers to Petaluma's 

proximity to Sonoma Mountain.

Petaluma has a well-preserved, 

historic city center[9] which 

includes many buildings

that survived the 1906 

San Francisco earthquake."

                           Wikipedia

"We need solitude,

because when we're alone,

we're free from obligations, we 

don't need to put on a show,

and we can HEAR 

our own thoughts."

                            Tamin Ansary

A] "Art evokes the mystery 
without which the world 
would not exist."
                             Rene Magritte

 B] "When artists make art, 

they shouldn't question 

whether it is permissible to 

do one thing or another. "

                                       Sol LeWitt

C] "This world is but a canvas

 to our imagination. "

Henry David Thoreau
