Fear Not

A    L    O    H    A  !
Too many of us are not 
living our dreams because 
we are living our fears. 
           Les Brown







Angry People, Frightened People-
Do Not Make Good Decisions.
Challenge Your Anxieties.
They Are Mythical Beasts.
Emotion Only Makes Things Worse.


















Practice Maintaining A Space,
A Sacred Space,
Your Seven Second Delay.

















Angry People, Frightened People
Make Horrible Decisions.

If We Are Kept Angry
We Will Not See The Truth.

Sanity Serves Yourself

And All Of Us.

Calm Down And Cultivate It.

Into - Not Just At

A   L   O   H   A  !
Last March: Marin CA
The battles that count aren't the ones 
for gold medals. 
The struggles within yourself 
- the invisible, 
inevitable battles inside all of us - 
that's where it's at. 
     Jesse Owens




















You must look into other people
as well as at them.
Lord Chesterfield

The World globes itself in a drop of dew.
So do we put our life into every act.

That hurt we embrace becomes joy. 
Call it to your arms where it can change.

The highest form of ignorance 
is when you reject something 
you don't know anything about.

Plumeria and Strelitzia nicolai

A     L     O     H     A   !
Cluster of Plumeria atop a branch Link
Not knowing when 
the dawn will come, 
I open every door.

Life may not be the party we hoped for, 
but while we're here we should dance.
         Grandma Proverb














 Rooster in Waikiki
That soul, which within us is a sentiment,
outside of us is a law. We feel it’s inspiration;
out there in history we can see it’s fatal strength. . . Justice is not postponed. A perfect equity
adjusts it’s balance in all parts of life.
The dice of God are always loaded.

Emerson

Those Of Us

A    L    O    H    A   !
The largest unrecognized 
natural resource is the 
mental health of society.











And that is preciously what is 
being extremely stressed today.


Those of us who lived through 
the AIDS crisis 
M A Y
consider that we are being
triggered emotionally by 
the current virus!










Keeping Calm, 
taking a beat, is 
a radically
important act!




















While you'll feel compelled to charge forward 
it's often a gentle step back that 
will reveal to you where you 
and what you truly seek.
                      Rasheed Ogunlaru

Reflective Moment

Simplicity Pledge

A    L    O    H    A  !
You couldn't just pick and choose at will 
when someone depended on you, 
or loved you. 
It wasn't like a light switch, 
easy to turn on or off. 
If you were in, you were in. 
Out, you were out.
           Sarah Dessen











Strange how complicated 
we can make things just 
to avoid showing 
what we feel!
        Erich Maria Remarque









“It is not so long ago that a member of the Diplomatic Body in London, who had spent some years of his service in China, told me that there was a Chinese curse which took the form of saying, ‘May you live in interesting times.’ There is no doubt that the curse has fallen on us.”
“We move from one crisis to another. We suffer one disturbance and shock after another.”
                            Sir Austen Chamberlain, 
addressing the annual meeting of Birmingham Unionist Association
March, 1936











The most complicated skill
is to be simple.
 Dejan Stojanovic
