Anxiety Be Gone

A  L  O  H  A !

Let's Just Sit Together for a While

"If you think
going to the moon
is hard,
try
staying home."

" Humor

is emotional chaos

remembered

in tranquility. "

I might have been saved

from some of my most

valuable mistakes. "

Hunting good reasons

for free-floating anxiety

is a loser's game.

Sometimes

we're just picking up

emotional energy

of others, of society.

Don't join that power.

Just sit still

and let the parade

pass by.

Worry is faith

in the worst,

not the best.

There is a world

of colors, tastes,

experiences, people.

"Life is a banquet."

Don't starve yourself.

Find a treat today!

Life in Art

A  L  O  H  A !

" To days of inspiration, playing hooky,

 making something out of nothing.

 The need to express, to communicate. 

To going against the grain,

 going insane, going mad. 

To loving tension, no pension,

 to more then one dimension. 

To starving for attention,

 hating convention, hating pretension.

 Not to mention, of course,

 hating dear old mom and dad. 

To riding your bike mid-day

 past the three piece suits.

 To fruits. 

To no absolutes. To Absolut.

 To choice. 

To the Village Voice. 

To any passing fad.

To being an 'us' for once 

instead of a 'them'.

Don't Maintain - Flourish

A  L  O  H  A !

 Those whose day

 is passing

always feel

that society is crumbling.

 But it's just changing

“Our youth now love luxury. 

They have bad manners, 

contempt for authority; 

they show disrespect for their elders 

and love chatter in place of exercise;

 they no longer rise when elders enter the room; 

they contradict their parents, 

chatter before company;

 gobble up their food 

and tyrannize their teachers.”

 Socrates

 469 BCE – 399 BCE

"The person 

who has lived the most

 is not the one 

with the most years

 but the one with 

the richest experiences. "

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

" That's the way things 

come clear.  

All of a sudden.  

And then you realize 

how obvious they've been 

all along.  "

Madeleine L'Engle
