WE all have something

we'd like to forget.

It seems to me

that something

so powerful

could do one much

damage,

but perhaps much

renewal as well.

Daily we sample

the meaning of life.

Some days it's thin,

others savory

& full of good things.

So what do we do

with the spice

that's not nice?

How do we find

the gift

in what we've tried

so hard to hide?

Every One

can overcome.

You are not done

Glorious raiment 

mysteriously spun

from what you used to

devoutly shun.

Thank You

for soul-sharing!

Genuinely

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

 " The silence this moment,

every moment, 

if it’s genuinely inside 

you, brings 

what you need. 

There’s nothing 

to believe. 

Only when I 

stopped believing 

in myself 

did I come 

into this beauty."

must be shadow.”

How about You?

Just making it

Weak Tea Tolerance

A  L  O  H  A   from   Honolulu!

“Tolerance means 

excusing the mistakes 

others make. -

- Tact means 

not noticing them. ”

                      Arthur Schnitzler

The only clean, orderly,

mistake-free place

is un-populated.

How long

would you be

Happy there?

I ask myself,

all the time. . .

One awesome thing about Eeyore

A  L  O  H  A !

"One awesome thing 

about Eeyore 

is that even though he is 

basically clinically depressed, 

he still gets invited 

to participate in adventures 

and shenanigans with 

all of his friends 

and they never expect him 

to pretend to feel happy, 

they just love him anyway,

 they never leave him

 behind or 

ask him to change."
