Don't Shallow Wallow

A  L  O  H  A !

If you want to live in peace, 

you must not tell 

everything that you know, nor 

judge everything that you see.

Respect for the rights 

of others is peace.

               Mexican Proverb

Stop talking and thinking 

and there is nothing 

you will not be 

able to know.

          Sengatan, Hsin Hsin Ming

Hone and spread your spirit, 

till you yourself are a sail, 

whetted, translucent, 

broadside to 

the merest puff.

                     Annie Dillard

That translucent alabaster 

of our memories.

Marcel Proust

In shallow waters, 

shrimps make fools 

of dragons.

Cultivate

A  L  O  H  A !

Appreciation is the purest,

strongest form of love. 

It is the outward-bound 

kind of love that asks for 

nothing and gives everything.

               Kelly Corrigan

Turbulence is the only way 

to get altitude – to get lift. 

Without turbulence the sky is 

just a big blue hole. 

Without turbulence, you sink.

Comfort:  Chicken Katsu Curry Saimin

Food is everything we are. 

It’s an extension of nationalist feeling, 

ethnic feeling, your personal history, 

your province, your region, 

your tribe, your grandma. 

It’s inseparable from those 

from the get-go. 

Anthony Bourdain

Tomorrow is another morning

Changing your mood,

 and your life for the better, 

is a Wonderful thing.

 Don’t force yourself 

to repeat a formula of words 

 many times a day.

 Instead 

cultivate  feelings of Expectant Joy.

 Take pleasure vacations many times a day

to think on the beautiful things you love.

 You will grow to  look forward to this!

 You will change.

 Your world will change.

Inner Conversations

A  L  O  H  A !

Morning to Night,

Then In Our Dreams,

A Narrative unfolds.

We not only Narrate,

But we Create

Reality.

For what we Believe

is manifested

in our behaviour, and

in our interpretations

of the behaviour of others.

Ultimately in the world 

around us.

Our inner conversation

goes on and on.

Meditation ignores,

but does not end, 

the conversation.

What are YOU

saying inwardly?

What is the flavor

of your interpretation?

As You Think

So Are You,

And Such Is

Your World.

All around us we see

the choices made:

Fear, Power, Distrust-

Love, Mutuality-

Hope, Despair-

Faith, Cynicism.

Choose this day.

Where you will live.

What are you sending out?

Put on the new person.

Rinse off old assumptions

freshness will replace the stale.

Good Doing

A  L  O  H  A !

Magical obsession is the experience of radical curiosity and wonderment much like the consciousness of a child at Disneyland. It’s a state of awareness that presents abnormal, spontaneous opportunities, effortlessly. It is the experience of your wish being the universes desire.

          Christopher Zzenn Loren

If you only walk on sunny days 

you'll never reach your destination.

                                    Paulo Coelho

Continue to do good, and 

heaven will come down to you.

As Much As Anybody

A  L  O  H  A !

You yourself, as much as anybody 

in the entire universe, 

deserve your love & affection. 

                      Buddha

Every adversity, every failure, 

every heartache carries with it the 

seed of an equal or greater benefit.

The Women of Our World 

are like Mother Earth. 

They don't just give life 

to the next generation 

but also to Hope. 

The Women of Our World are to be 

loved, respected and protected.

Unconditional Positive Regard

A  L  O  H  A !

Sadly, so many people seem 

unhappy, unkind, sleepwalking 

though their day, oblivious. But 

remember, we do not need 

to lack for kindness. We are free to

bring our own with us 

EVERYWHERE! 

Ally yourself with it's eternal energy. 

Be a quiet ambassador of Aloha. 

It is up to others as it is to us,

this choice of how to live.  

The only way to open their eyes 

is by being kind in their presence. 

Even when there is no 

warmth in their eyes. 

It is just such kindness that 

may ultimately warm and rekindle

their humanity. But that is not 

for us to know, All we can do 

is live ALOHA
