Traction Refraction

A   L   O   H   A  !

When

has our Dark Side

ever

been convinced

to surrender

by arguments ?

It is the simply the nature

 of our adversaries

[the devil, gravity, choices]

 To provide us with 

Resistance

 That gives

to our higher 

aspirations:

The

Traction needed

For moving 

Up the 

Way.

Used YESTERDAY:
  " Great heroes

 need great sorrows

 and burdens,
 or half their

 greatness 

goes unnoticed. "

Peter S. Beagle

Don't take it

 personally;

that way

  you avoid

99%

of the pain.

Rambling

A   L   O   H   A  !

"The best thing 

about the future

 is that it comes

 one day

 at a time. "

Abraham Lincoln 

" I care not much 

for a man's religion 

whose dog and cat 

are not 

the better

 for it. "

Abraham Lincoln

How Christmas Trees 

come to Hawaii

" Whatsoever

 hath fins and scales -
Because these, 

of all the fish tribe, 

are the most

 nourishing; "

Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

> < 3 3 3 ( ° > 

Some call it

wandering,

rambling,

or a waste of 

time-

I call it

absolutely

necessary.

Unstructured time

and yes,

space.

The Soul

needs breathing

Space. 

Thanks for YOUr

Companionship

along the way.

tourist kitsch

A L O H A !

Authentic culture

gets turned into
 trinkets,

Persons

into cliche. 

" not even Solomon 
in all his magnificence 
could array himself 
like one of these."

Weymouth New Testament
  Matthew 6:29

Banyan Ban-Ban

A   L   O   H   A  !

 Banyans

 of our youth,

rich at morning,

sorry we swung

from your

irresistible

 "branches."

 Rapunzel Spun

Golden

you Mesmer

my eyes

 Adventitious

 Aerial roots 

  above the ground

reaching, 

gravity - growing

Humble finger buds

long to reach

into soil.

  Branches

 bud shoots

which soar

to the ground, 

 taking root 

becoming trunks;

a forest

of sister trees

interlaced.

Mysterious.

"Enter"

That beckoning space 

long lingers
 in one's thoughts;
even later 

at the show-

Aviate

A   L   O   H   A  !

“ The phoenix hope,

 can wing her way 

through the desert skies,

 and still defying 

fortune's spite; 

revive

 from ashes -

and rise. ”
 Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

“If you were born without wings,
 do nothing
 to prevent them from
 growing.”
  Coco Chanel
