Horizontals

A  L  O  H  A !

" My dream 

has always been 

to suspend myself in space 

when I write, and

 lying horizontal in bed 

is the closest 

to doing that. "

                        Richard Powers

" Not only is there a

  right to be happy,

 there is a 

duty to be happy. -

" - So much sadness 

exists in the world

 that we are all 

under obligation to 

contribute

as much joy as

 lies within our powers. "

                   John S. Bonnell

Can I play? 
Is THIS horizontal?
Does this count?
Am I happy? . . . 
[oh bother!]

with class, dignity,

that an exclamation,

 rather than a 

question mark 

signifies it! "

Policy # 6

I bring my gifts

wherever I go.

When I feel bereft

I remain at home.

But if I must go

I'm humbler still,

remembering others

who daily labor up

such hills.

Wish I was getting

I Have Seen

A  L  O  H  A !

Immigrants ARE America; ARE Hawaii

“ I have seen flowers come 

in stony places -

And kind things done 

by men with ugly faces -

- And the gold cup won 

by the worst horse

 at the races, 

So I trust too.”

Love Live Fruit

A  L  O  H  A !

" Life without love is 

like a tree without 

blossoms or fruit. "

                            Kahlil Gibran

" Live like a tree, 

giving, forgiving 

and free. "

                         Debasish Mridha, M.D.

" A person who loves 

and kisses a tree 

is a normal person; 

- a person who hates 

and cuts a tree is

an abnormal person. "

"Everyone has an 

invisible sign hanging 

from their neck saying, 

'Make me feel important.' 

Never forget this message 

when working with people." 

 Mary Kay Ash 

" By starving emotions 

we become humorless, 

rigid and stereotyped; 

- by repressing them 

we become literal, 

reformatory and 

holier-than-thou; 

encouraged, they perfume life; 

discouraged, they poison it. "

                                             Joseph Collins 

Some mature folk have 

forgotten how youth feels; 

Some remember; but 

best of all: 

to be always young 

in heart & mind.

Summer Cold

A  L  O  H  A !

" A rustle in the wind

 reminds us 

a fairy is near. "

“It's a bizarre 

but wonderful feeling,

 to arrive dead center 

of a target 

you didn't even know 

you were aiming for.” 

                            Lois McMaster Bujold

 " 'T is better to be lowly born, 

And range with humble livers in content, 

Than to be perked up in a glistering grief, 

And wear a golden sorrow. "

                                 Shakespeare

Having a cold

is what I call:

'Healthy People Problems"

And I have a 

doozey.

We forget how awful

a simple cold can 

make us feel.

It reminds me

to be grateful,

and to spare a thought

for those

[some of you]

who live with

challenges who live

with pain.

Hang in there!

Fondly, cloudia
