Wish I Knew But I Do

A   L   O   H   A  !
Self-care is never 

a selfish act-it is 

simply good stewardship 

of the only gift I have, 

the gift I was put on earth 

to offer to others.

     Parker Palmer















Be that self 

which one

truly is.

Soren Kierkegaard
















Prejudices are

what fools use 

for reason.

 Voltaire 
















When pure sincerity 

forms within,

 it is outwardly realized 

in other people's hearts.

 Lao Tzu














Who am I?

I wish I knew.

So many versions

like the years just flew,

but I knew by each

successive permutation

some aspect of 

the project to

polish, or completely

smooth down.


I'm  done 

with the frown.

Oh I've seen it around.

But it can do it's job

elsewhere.


Hanging back more

but I still care,

and bringing the 

Good Stuff distilled

from mountaintops

with a dash of despair.



So there.

We're here.

And I do hold You 

dear. 


Love the loving

avoid the hate

heaven is within you,

inhabit it.

Don't wait.


Fondly,

Self Efficacy

A   L   O   H   A  !
Honolulu View
It is a narrow mind that 

cannot look at a subject 

from various points of view.

George Eliot









Those who accept you 

as who you are, and 

who know you very well, 

are worth more than 

anything in the end.

 Bronnie Ware










If anybody laughs 

at your idea, 

view it as a sign of 

potential success! 

Jim Rogers


















Sometimes one feels freer 

speaking to a stranger than 

to people one knows. 

Why is that?

Probably because 

a stranger sees us 

the way we are, 

not as he wishes to 

think we are.

Carlos Ruiz Zafón







People who have a 

sense of self-efficacy 

bounce back from failure; 

they approach things in 

terms of how to 

handle them 

rather than worrying about 

what can go wrong. 

    Albert Bandura

Constructing

A  L  O  H  A !
The future is the home 

of our deepest fears 

and wildest hopes. But 

one thing is certain when 

it finally reveals itself. 

The future is never the 

way we imagined it.

 Meredith Grey










 There are far, far better 

things ahead than any 

we leave behind.

C.S. Lewis









 The future rewards 

those who press on. 

I don’t have time to feel 

sorry for myself. I don’t 

have time to complain. 

I’m going to press on.

       Barack Obama































Look closely at the present 

you are constructing. 

It should look like the

future you are dreaming.

             Alice Walker















Be happy; 

without reason.

Tsoknyi Rinpoche












The greatest adventure

is what lies ahead.

             J.R.R. Tolkien

All Along The Wishes

A   L   O   H   A  !
Java Finch
A little man often 

casts a long shadow.

        Italian Proverb 














Shadows are formed 

all along the wishes 

of the sun.

    Chinese Proverb 








Three things you

should never break: 

Promises, trust, and 

someone's heart.     

A. Nony Mouse












Mouse?
I meant to behave. 

There were just too 

many other options.

         Darynda Jones

Into History

A  L  O  H  A !
Our actions entrench 

the power of the light 

on this planet. 








Every positive thought 

we pass between us 

makes room for 

more light. 








And if we do more than think, 

then our actions clear the path 

for even more light. 

That is why forgiveness 

and compassion must become 

more important principles 

in public life.

          John Lewis














If you're not hopeful and optimistic, 

then you just give up. 

You have to take the long hard look 

and just believe that 

if you're consistent, 

you will succeed. 

John Lewis





You
Are The Reason
We Do This!

World Like A Mountain

A  L  O  H  A !
Sky Yoga Bow to the Sun

Suns are sunflowers 

of a higher light.

Richter.   









Conflict cannot survive 

without your participation.

Wayne Dyer












A smile re-cures 

the wounding of a frown.

             Shakespeare.























This world is like a mountain. 

Your echo depends on you. 

If you scream good things, 

the world will give it back. 

If you scream bad things, 

the world will give it back. 

 Change your heart to 

change the world.

 Shams Tabrizi

Have It Or They Don't

A   L   O   H   A  !
Critics say that America is a lie 

because its reality falls so far short 

of its ideals. They are wrong. 

America is not a lie; 

it is a disappointment. But 

it can be a disappointment 

only because it is also a hope.

   Samuel P. Huntington











Because one believes in oneself, 

one doesn't try to convince others. 

Because one is content with oneself, 

one doesn't need others' approval. 

Because one accepts oneself,

the whole world accepts her.

               Lao Tzu











Lazing Leaf

You can't teach 

people to be lazy,

either they have it 

or they don't.

Dagwood Bumstead
                                                     Link













Love and kindness are 

the very basis of society.

If we lose these feelings,

society will face 

tremendous difficulties.

              Dalai Lama









It was such a beautiful day 

I decided to stay in bed.     

W Somerset Maugham



You can only sleep
in one bed at a time.
