Oh soul,

you worry too much.

You have seen your own strength.

You have seen your own beauty.

You have seen your golden wings.

Of anything less,

why do you worry?

                            Rumi

Who cares about the clouds 

when we're together? 

Just sing a song and bring 

the sunny weather.

Rebels

A  L  O  H  A !

You win by not being 

what they expect you to be.

In a world where kindness 

is a rebellious act 

let's all 

become rebels!

Our Differences

are ever at war with 

our Commonalities.

Be careful which

you feed.

Closer Look

A  L  O  H  A !

Sometimes the most beautiful things 

are in front of our eyes, and we don’t 

even notice because we’re either 

too busy or too afraid to 

take a closer look. 

                      Katja Michael

Since you cannot do good to all, 

you are to pay special attention 

to those who, by the accidents 

of time, or place, or circumstances, 

are brought into closer 

connection with you. 

            Saint Augustine

Look at the sky. 

We are not alone. 

The whole universe is 

friendly to us and conspires 

only to give the best to 

those who dream and work.

MARVELOUS!

 Travel makes one modest. 

You see what a tiny place 

you occupy in the world.

               Gustave Flaubert

Many people lose 

the small joys 

in the hope for 

the big happiness.

Honolulu Dreaming

A  L  O  H  A !

Dreams say what they mean, 

but they don't say it 

in daytime language.

            Gail Godwin

I am going to see you 

in every wall, every 

street, every glass, in 

every person, in every 

wave of the sea 

and smile.

          Suyasha Subedi

 Every great dream begins 

with a dreamer. Always 

remember, you have 

within you the strength, 

the patience, and 

the passion to reach 

for the stars to 

change the world.

            Harriet Tubman

Trust your landmark and 

run through the smoke. 

It's going to open up 

eventually.

Having a Comfort Level

with Ambiguity

is an inestimable skill.

Life is ALL ambiguity!

Nailing things down

amputates their whole truth.

Don't be quick

to classify, attack, defend.

Earn and inhabit

a Comfort Level

with Ambiguity

and life will improve.

Love Ya!

Paws And Reflect

A  L  O  H  A !

You cannot live with 

a paw in each world. 

Erin Hunter

I am a Count, Not a Saint.

           Alexandre Dumas, 

                          The Count of Monte Cristo

Only write a story 

that only you can write. 

               Alysha Speer

There are so many incidents,

episodes, stories, and

epiphanies in the big city

by the sea. . . 

To pause and witness

all the striving, suffering

and celebration -

even in your own mind -

is a litany for the night.

When fears are grounded, 

dreams take flight

     Anon

 Mama told us: 

"Girls, always keep a 

fire extinguisher at hand."

 Be faithful to that which exists 

nowhere but in yourself - and thus 

make yourself indispensable.

               Gide

 To freely bloom - that is 

my definition of success.

                        Gerry Spence

A true friend knows your weaknesses

 but shows you your strengths; 

feels your fears 

but fortifies your faith; 

sees your anxieties 

but frees your spirit;

recognizes your 

disabilities but 

emphasizes your 

possibilities.
