Light and Shadow the Oldest Story

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The whole shadow of Man
is only as big as his hat.
Elizabeth Bishop

Crown Flower

 I would like young girls to know

that their beauty is a crown;

not a clown. And crowns are

best worn with

elegance and serenity.
    C. JoyBell C.

Crown Flowers in a shaft of light;

Others still in darkness.

Eloquence.

The black sheep? You and I are
more like the tie-dyed sheep!
Karl Wiggins

We look into mirrors but

we only see the effects

of our times on us -

not our effects on others.

   Pearl Bailey

A true friend is

someone who thinks that

you are a good egg

even though he knows

that you are slightly

cracked.

Wise Little Alice

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Though my soul may

set in darkness, it

will rise in perfect light;

I have loved the stars too

fondly to be fearful

of the night. Sarah Williams

Happiness is when

what you think, what you say,
and what you do
are in harmony!
Amanda Howe

In difficult times

only imagination can help

people get rid of sadness.
   Elsa Schiaparelli

 If you don't train your mind

to appreciate what is good,

you'll continue to look for

something better in the future,

even when things are great.

Cory Muscara

Do not let current trends &

uncertainty upset you.

Look around. Your day is

100% real & present.

Look outside. There is light,

there is air.

There will be tomorrow too.

Don't let trends & events disquiet you.

Because ultimately your quiet

is your life, is your well-being,

is your best face to the future.

And the pets need to be fed.

It was all very well to say "Drink me,"

but the wise little Alice was not

going to do that in a hurry.

"No, I'll look first," she said,

"and see whether it's marked

'poison' or not"

     Lewis Carroll

Let The Particles Run

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We all have the potential

to live the good life:

If we can learn to be indifferent

to what makes no difference.

Marcus Aurelius

Too many people overvalue

what they are not and

undervalue what they are.

Malcolm Forbes

There are as many paths to God

as there are souls on this Earth. 

      Rumi

It's a good thing to turn

your mind upside down

now and then, like an

hour-glass, to let the particles

run the other way.

   Christopher Morley

Tracy Rees

We will never allow

a nefarious minority

to outshine the majority

of caring, thinking citizens

The golden opportunity you are seeking

is in yourself. It is not in your

environment it is not in luck or

chance, or the help of others

it is in yourself alone. Orison Swett Marden

A light wind swept

over the corn, and

all nature laughed

in the sunshine. Anne Bronte

A happy soul is the best

shield for a cruel world. Atticus

Great things are not done by

impulse, but by a series of small

things brought together. Vincent van Gogh

In Some Way

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You are not obligated

to complete the work, but

neither are you free

to desist from it.

Pirkei Avot

If you smile at someone,

even behind their back,

they feel it in some way.

It accrues to their benefit.

And to your own.

Every act of forgiveness

mends something broken

in this fractured world.

It is a step, however small,

in the long, hard journey

to redemption.

 Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

 In hard times, people don't

want to be told to look

on the bright side.

They want to know

you're on their side.

Even if you can't help them

feel better, you can always

help them feel seen.

The best way to support

others is not to cheer them up.

It's to show up. Adam Grant

Don't be pushed by your problems.

Be led by your dreams. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

     

After 45 years of research & study

the best advice I can give people

is to be a little kinder to each other.
