Keep Young

" By the time we hit fifty, 

we have learned 

our hardest lessons. 

We have found out 

that only a few things 

are really important. 

We have learned 

to take life seriously,

 but never 

ourselves. "

Marie Dressler

Angels Dancing!

" Dancing demands a freed person,
one who vibrates 

with the equipoise of all his powers.
I praise the dance.
O man, learn to dance,
or else the angels in heaven 

will not know 

what to do with you... "

have more fun

It's good

Back Streets

A     L     O     H     A    !

" Not by appointment 

do we meet delight

 Or joy; 

they heed not 

our expectancy; 

But round some corner

 of the streets 

of life 

they of a sudden 

greet us 

with a 

smile. "

Soulful Eyes

A  L  O  H  A !

“ We are mortals 

all, human 

and nonhuman, 

bound in one fellowship 

of love and travail. 

 No one escapes

 the fate of death. 

But we can, 

with caring, 

make our good-byes

 less tormented.

 If we broaden the circle

 of our compassion,

 life can be less cruel.” 

 Gary Kowalski,

 The Souls of Animals
