Ascendancy

A  L  O  H  A !
The positive energy and 
love we give to others,
heals our own wounds.
              Angie Karan









 Every adversity, every failure, every 
heartache carries with it the seed of 
an equal or greater benefit.
                              Napoleon Hill














In order to see birds it is necessary to 
become part of the silence.
            Paul Laurence Dunbar
















Awake,arise,and assert yourself,
you dreamers of the world. 
Your star is now in ascendancy.
                     Napoleon Hill



Pendulums do swing.

People do awaken.

Wrong acts
and lying words
sooner or later
bring failure.

The bigger they act
the harder they fall.

Forbearing* people
will inherit the world.

Love You,

The Major Problem

A  L  O  H  A !
I’m here to tell you
That you’ve got
What it takes












The Major Problem
in the world today
is contempt.
I pledge to remain
calm and loving.
Even in the face of it.











I fell in love with Honolulu
When I saw a girl with flowers in her hair
When she gave me her aloha smile
I was glad that I could stay awhile
                    Donald Neil McKay















Live today so richly that
if it is your last 
you're cool with that.

With Joy

A  L  O  H  A !
Star lost
in the light of dawn,
trill of the breeze,
warmth, breath—
the night is done.
You are light and morning.
           Cesare Pavese








A single poem, alone
can turn tides
scatter galaxies
and burst forth with rivers
from paradise.
              Sanober Khan

























The great sea Has sent me 
adrift It moves me 
As the weed in a great river 
Earth and the great weather 
Move me 
Have carried me away 
And moved my inward parts with joy.
                 Eskimo Song,  Uvavnuk

Love You!

Everything Nothing

A  L  O  H  A !
My hopes are not always realized, 
but I always hope.

rather than short-term ones.”

nothing is lost.

Rest Be Kind

A  L  O  H  A !
 I love the progress
of the day.

Time flies when
we're having fun.















Rest and be kind, you don’t 
have to prove anything.

Don't You love

I don't feed the birds

I need them.

Don't Become What You Hate

A  L  O  H  A !
 " 'Resist not evil,' 
for all passionate conflicts 
result in an interchange
 of characteristics."
Neville Goddard















"In spite of the many sins of omission 
and commission against the Indians 
that I had laid at the door of the Municipality, 
I could not help commending it's 
solicitude for the white citizens, and 
I rendered as much help as I could 
in it's laudable efforts." 
              Gandhi ca 1900












"It is my faith, based on experience, 
that if one's heart is pure, 
calamity brings in it's train 
men [sic] and measures to fight it."
                         Gandhi












You cannot police the behavior of others.
But you can choose your own response
if you do not immediately react.
Don't take it personally. Choose.


Buddha was walking with some
traveling companions when an
angry person began yelling and
berating him. Buddha remained
quite calm. At the end of the day,
his friends asked him about the 
incident and received this question:
"If someone gives you something,
and you do not accept it,
who does it belong to?"

Don't make the problems of others
your own! Just keep walking as
you have chosen to do. Do right as
you understand it impartially.
THIS is what changes the world.

Thanks, Friend!

Shadow and Lights

A  L  O  H  A !

After the film it was raining, 
a light steady rain. 
Ruthless neon on the 
wet streets like busted candy.
                Denis Johnson










I thought the most beautiful thing
in the world must be shadow.
             Sylvia Plath











Everything has beauty, 
but not everyone sees it.
          Confucius












No one is useless in this world 
who lightens the burden of it 
for anyone else.
             Charles Dickens
