The Big Job
A L O H A !
"Fairy tales are
more than true
not because they tell us
that dragons exist but
because they tell us that
dragons can be beaten."
Neil Gaiman
"Somewhere between the
start of the trail and
the end is the mystery:
why we choose to walk.”
Unknown
"Kindness is like snow - it
beautifies everything it covers."

We all want to make that Big Start;
That New Beginning. We want to do
Spring Cleaning. But it's overwhelming.
That's why you don't do it weekly.
We see the entire elephant
and feel good about deciding
to eat it later. Definitely. Gonna do it.
Just not today. But you are just paying
the 'Vig'* on your anxiety and your life.
Bargaining with the boogeyman.*
I had a boss who used to say:
'Just do something today to move
the mission, the contract, the pile of
tasks. The day you leave here, your
In Box will not be empty. That has
to be OK. Just do one thing today,
with all the routine & house keeping.'
Just do the thing you notice,
the thing at hand.
Thank YOU

Through A Crystal
A L O H A !
“Nothing is the truth nor a lie.
Everything depends on the color
Of the crystal through
which one sees it”
Pedro Calderón de la Barca
Everything depends on the color
Of the crystal through

Pedro Calderón de la Barca
“Because one believes in oneself,
one doesn't try to convince others.
Because one is content with oneself,
one doesn't need others' approval.
Because one accepts oneself,
the whole world
accepts him or her.”
Lao Tzu
"We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox."
Nicholas Sparks

Trees and People
A L O H A !
"We're each of us
alone, to be sure.
What can you do
but hold your hand
out in the dark.'
Ursula LeGuin
"When your heart speaks
take good notes."
Judith Campbell
"When you go out into the woods
and you look at trees, you see
all these different trees. And some
of them are bent, and some of them
are straight, and some of them
are evergreens, and some of them
are whatever. And you look at
the tree and you allow it.
You appreciate it.
You see why it is the way it is.
You sort of understand that it
didn’t get enough light, and so
it turned that way. And you don’t
get all emotional about it.
You just allow it.
You appreciate the tree. -
- The minute you get near humans,
you lose all that. And you are
constantly saying “You’re too this,
or I’m too this.” That judging mind
comes in. And so
I practice turning
people into trees.
Which means
appreciating them
just the way
they are."
