is a reflection of

what we feel inside.

Carry Within

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In the sky there are

always answers

and explanations

for everything:

every pain, every

suffering, joy

and confusion.

    Ishmael Beah

There are worlds of

experience beyond the

world of the aggressive man,

beyond history, and

beyond science.

The moods and qualities of

nature and the revelations

of great art are equally

difficult to define;

- we can grasp them

only in the depths of

our perceptive spirit.

Ansel Adams

Grandmothers are a gift

not to be taken lightly.

I am glad my bones were

born with this knowledge.

She taught me how to

become a good ancestor.

 Nikita Gill

I carry within me

the heart of a warrior,

the mind of a pharaoh,

the soul of a goddess

and the wisdom of

my grandmothers'

grandmothers.

However you perceive it

whatever name you give,

And it will

Without a rich heart, 

wealth is an ugly beggar.

A true change of heart 

is much more powerful 

than a change of mind.

The sail, 

the play of its pulse 

so like our own lives: 

so thin and yet 

so full of life, 

so noiseless when 

it labors hardest, so 

noisy and impatient 

when least effective.      

Henry David Thoreau

One word frees us
of all the weight
and pain of life:
The word is "love.

"The greatest friend of 

truth is Time, her 

greatest enemy is Prejudice, 

and her constant companion 

is Humility."

         Charles Caleb Colton

"Most of the time,

age feels like a mask -

something that I wear,

not something that I am-

"and when I gaze fondly
on the faces of my old friends,
I can see them as they were
when we were young."
