Shadows Recede

A  L  O  H  A !
Lowell Arizona by Anissa Gunther

   Dalai Lama

who treats you

like you're ordinary.

 Oscar Wilde















There is a calmness 

to a life lived in 

gratitude, a quiet joy. 

 Ralph Blum













Every time you do 

a good deed you 

shine the light a little 

farther into the dark. 

And the thing is, 

when you're gone 

that light is going to 

keep shining on, 

pushing the 

shadows back.

    Charles de Lint

Sunlight

A    L    O    H    A  !
Although our intellect 

always longs for clarity 

and certainty, our nature 

often finds uncertainty 

fascinating. 

     Carl von Clausewitz









Gratitude is happiness  

doubled by wonder.

     Gilbert K. Chesterton









There is something 

of the marvelous in 

all things of nature.  
 
            Aristotle











Music is well said 

to be the speech 

of angels; in fact, 

nothing among the 

utterances allowed to man 

is felt to be so divine. 

It brings us near 

to the infinite.

    Thomas Carlyle












Birds sing after a storm;

why shouldn't people feel 

as free to delight in 

whatever sunlight 

remains to them?

            Rose Kennedy

A    L    O    H    A  !

a temporary sense. 

The truth is permanent

Once we accept our limits, 

we go beyond them.

        Einstein 









Renew your mind

every morning with 

pure thoughts.

Perhaps the truth 

depends on a walk 

around the lake.

Measure your health 

by your sympathy with 

morning and Spring.

  Thoreau

Soul Sense

A    L    O    H    A  !
Most people know 

the physical senses, but 

a lot of people don’t know 

the soul’s senses: 

empathy, trust, intuition, 

love and harmony.

Steven Aitchison









Opportunities are often 

missed. . .









 . . .when we 

constantly focus on 

our problems. 

       Steven Aitchison












Hawaii's Lifeline   Link
Growing up, 

books were my lifeline, 

and I owe a debt 

to those writers that 

can never be repaid. 

They saved my sanity 

and gave me a world 

I could escape to. 

 If I can pay that 

forward to 

another person, 

that's all I ask. 

Sherrilyn Kenyon










Without friends 

no one would 

choose to live, 

though he had 

all other goods.

     Aristotle










Remember:

Lasting Happiness

like wonderful, 

warm donuts,

must be made fresh 

every hour.


Keeping Calm, 

taking a beat, is 

a radically

important act.

Kindness Discovered

A    L    O    H    A  !
Suspicion is only another 

form of cowardice. 

The one who suspects 

constantly suspects 

because he is afraid. . .

Whenever you find a 

free, frank, generous, 

brave nature, you will 

find that one

without suspicion. 

Robert Green Ingersoll










A wise one 

changes their mind,

a fool never will.

            Spanish Proverb










Ship Passing

If you want happiness for 

an hour, 

take a nap. If you want 

happiness for a day, 

go fishing. If you want 

happiness for a year, 

inherit a fortune.

If you want 

happiness for a lifetime,

help somebody.

    Chinese saying





























The most 

precious light is the one 

that visits you in your 

darkest hour!

Mehmet Murat ildan


Kindness, 

I've discovered, 

is everything in life.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

Treat

A   L   O   H   A  !
There is a vitality, a 

life force, an energy, 

a quickening, that

is translated through 

you into action, and 












- because there is only 

one of you 

in all time, 

this expression is unique

Martha Graham










A 'treat' is different 

from a 'reward,' which 

must be justified or earned. 

A treat is a small pleasure 

or indulgence that we give

to ourselves just because 

we want it. Treats give us 

greater vitality, which 

boosts self-control, 

which helps us 

maintain our healthy habits.

Gretchen Rubin












The most striking quality 

common to all 

primitive art is 

its intense vitality. 

It is something made 

by a people with a 

direct and immediate 

response to life. 

Henry Moore








Imagine if the people 

who have lived and learned 

still had the vitality to 

act upon the hard 

learned lessons - 

and not just share in 

a conversation, 

but lead. 

Ron Howard









Only a person who 

has passed through

the gate of humility 

can ascend to the 

heights of the spirit. 


Rudolf Steiner

Instinctive

A  L  O  H  A !
Hard times arouse 

an instinctive desire 

for authenticity.

      Coco Chanel









Woman and men of 

retiring timidity 

are cowardly only

in dangers which 

affect themselves, but 

the first to rescue 

when others are

in danger.

     Jean Paul Richter











The conscience of children 

is formed by the influences 

that surround them; 

their notions of good 

and evil are the result of 

the moral atmosphere

they breathe.

Jean Paul Richter























If I'd known I was going 

to live to be a hundred 

I'd have taken 

much better care 

of myself.

  Eubie Blake










Sometimes on the

way to the dream, 

you get lost and 

find a better one.

    Lisa Hammond
