Every Day

Light travels 

faster than sound. 

This is why some people 

appear bright until you 

hear them speak.

Ahuwale ka poʻokela

i kāu hana iā ha'i.

It is through the way 

you serve

others that your 

greatness will be felt.

Hawaiian Saying

Every year of my life 

I grow more convinced that 

it is wisest and best to fix our 

attention on the 

beautiful and good 

and dwell as little as possible 

on the dark and the base.

                 Richard Cecil  

People say 

nothing is impossible, 

but I do nothing 

every day.

Don't You Get Weary

 A   L   O   H   A  !

Sometimes, flying 

feels too godlike 

to be attained by man. 

Sometimes, 

the world from above seems 

too beautiful, too wonderful, 

too distant for human eyes to see.     

                                  Charles A. Lindbergh

🛪

Aviation is proof that

 

given the will, we have

 

the capacity to achieve

 

the impossible.

Distant Dreams of Distant Places

Sweet is the memory 

of distant friends! 

Like the mellow rays of 

the departing sun -

Ironically, when we own the 

shadow aspects of our self 

and put down our masks - 

this is when we become 

truly lovable.

Walk together, children, 

don't you get weary,

walk together, children, 

don't you get weary.

walk together, children, 

don't you get weary,

there's a great camp meeting 

in the promised land.

We're gonna walk and never tire,

walk and never tire,

walk and never tire,

there's a great camp meeting 

in the promised land!

There is not anything 

in the world stronger 

than tenderness.

     Han Suyin

Even waste-handling 

can be cheerful!

I like the way 

the slant lids

dialogue with 

the architecture.

"Drink A Bite To Eat!"

If you love the sacred 

and despise the ordinary

you are still bobbing in 

the sea of illusion.

No one is useless

Pursue 

what catches your 

heart

not what catches

The more light

             Shakti Gawain

Let your light 

shine today, and 

let your personality 

blossom, too. You don’t 

have to be a people-pleaser, 

just a people-lover.

             Beth Moore

Stars don’t shine 

because they want

shine because 

they are stars.

I wish I could show you

or in darkness, the 

astonishing light 

of your own being.

We owe more 

to our illusions than 

to our knowledge.

         Lafcadio Hearn

I felt very still 

and empty, the way 

the eye of a tornado 

must feel, moving dully 

along in the middle of 

the surrounding hullabaloo.

          Sylvia Plath

There's not a word yet, 

for old friends 

who've just met.

Dreaming Of Fish

Beyond the edge 

of the world 

there’s a space where 

emptiness and substance 

neatly overlap, where 

past and future form a 

continuous, endless loop. 

And, hovering about, 

there are signs no one 

has ever read, chords 

no one has ever heard.

Haruki Murakami

ᐸᐰᐭ

"Surge capacity is a collection of adaptive systems — mental and physical — that humans draw on for short-term survival in acutely stressful situations, such as natural disasters. But natural disasters occur over a short period, even if recovery is long. Pandemics are different — the disaster itself stretches out indefinitely.

“The pandemic has demonstrated both what we can do with surge capacity and the limits of surge capacity,” says Masten. When it’s depleted, it has to be renewed. But what happens when you struggle to renew it because the emergency phase has now become chronic?"

That which has always 

been accepted by everyone, 

everywhere, is almost 

certain to be false.

   Paul Valery

Our mind is capable 

of passing beyond 

the dividing line we 

have drawn for it. 

Beyond the pairs of 

opposites of which 

the world consists, 

other, 

new insights begin.

Home is everything 

you can walk to.

I like long walks, 

especially when they

who annoy me.
