Not Wasted

A    L    O    H    A  !
I know of only one duty, 
and that is to love. 
            Albert Camus 













Blessed are the hearts that can bend; 
they shall never be broken.
            Albert Camus 





















When someone loves you, 
the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name 
is safe in their mouth.
                 Billy age 4









Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes 
on the grass under trees on a summer's day, 
listening to the murmur of the water, or 
watching the clouds float across the sky,
 is by no means a waste of time.

               John Lubbock

Love people, get transfused with
fresh blood and you'll live long!

We make our friends; 
we make our enemies; but 
God makes our 
next door neighbor.

When circumstances upset your peace of mind,
 lose no time in recovering your self-control, and
do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. 
Habitual recurrence to the harmony will 
increase your mastery of it.     
         Marcus Aurelius

















One can not reflect in streaming water. 
Only those who know internal peace 
can give it to others.

we never forget that pain and grief are 
not the final options in life.

New Book

A    L    O    H    A  !
A new beginning. 
And things will change.
      Taylor Swift








"No, this is not the beginning of 
a new chapter in my life; 
this is the beginning of a new book! 








-That first book is already closed, ended, 
and tossed into the seas; this new book is 
newly opened, has just begun! -









- Look, it is the first page! 
And it is a beautiful one!”
       C. JoyBell C.








A bridge of silver wings stretches 
from the dead ashes of 
an unforgiving nightmare
to the jeweled vision of 
a life started anew.

Determining Factor

A    L    O    H    A  !
Learning to ignore things is 
one of the great paths to inner peace.
                 Robert J. Sawyer












 God Himself, sir, does not propose 
to judge a man until his life is over.
Why should you and I?
               Samuel Johnson













 You will find that silence 
or very gentle words
are the most exquisite 
revenge for insult.
          Judge Hall












 They may forget what you said,
but they will never forget 
how you made them feel.
          Carl W. Buechner














"No material object,
no matter how precious it is,
can give us the feeling
of being loved.
Compassion,
what I sometimes also call
human affection is the 
determining factor of our life.
Every human action becomes
dangers when deprived of
human feeling. -
         












- When they are performed
with feeling and respect
for human values
all activities
become constructive."
          Dalai Lama

No Telling

A    L    O    H    A  !
Besides the noble art of getting things done, 
there is the noble art of leaving things undone. 
The wisdom of life consists in the 
elimination of non-essentials.
             Lin Yutang

















Love much. Earth has 
enough of bitter in it.
             Ella Wheeler Wilcox 































 There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, 
that can circumvent, or hinder or control 
the firm resolve of a determined soul.
                 Ella Wheeler Wilcox












They say you can't control what happens,
only your response to it. 

But the longer I live, the more clearly
I see how each of us makes
the version of reality that we believe in.

We reinforce our view of ourselves,
others, and of the larger world, by the
things we say, do, and notice.

Mostly by finding what we expect.
Very few of us are willing
to discover where we are wrong,
even though that represents
a liberation and birth of
new possibilities.

We would rather be right
than happy; to win an
ultimately pointless argument
than to cherish a relationship.

Perhaps it would be valuable
for everyone to take a break
from all our normal routines
and spend time alone.

Call it a fast, a retreat,
a penance, a voyage of
self discovery.

Imagine the possibilities
of every person in the world
ready to do things better,
in possession of newly earned
humility, compassion, 
fellow-feeling, and hope.

No telling WHAT
could come of 
THAT!
