Then Rest.

" When you know that, 
the power that is LIFE
 is inside you, 
you accept your own 
divinity, 
and yet you are
 humble, 
because you see 
that same divinity
 in everyone else. "

Shouting At The Buddha

    A    L    O    H    A  !  
" The only fence 
against the world 
is a thorough
 knowledge 
of it. "

John Locke






" Never say 
there is nothing 
beautiful 
in the world anymore. 

There is 
always something 
to make you wonder 
in the shape of a tree, 
the 
trembling 
of a leaf. "


Albert Schweitzer





 “ The resistance 
to the unpleasant 
situation 
is the root 
of suffering. ” 

Ram Dass


]0[

Buddha and his companions
had been walking all day.

They approached a small village
when suddenly
a man came shouting
full of anger
right at Buddha
who continued walking
calmly.

Later on
someone asked him
what they all wondered:
"Why did you not
engage him?"

"Let me ask you a question:

If someone gives you a 
gift that
 you choose not to receive, 
to whom
 does it belong?" 

Beyond basic safety
refuse to accept
or engage
the sticky traps
of entanglement.

Keep flying!

You will not save
those sinking in quick sand
by sinking in it
yourself.

Be a little selfish.
It's called 
"Self Preservation"

You can blame me
and Buddha.

Thanks SO much
for Your visit!

" Time
 is a game
 played beautifully
 by children. "

Heraclitus




" The life of our city 
is rich in poetic and 
marvelous subjects. 
We are enveloped 
and steeped as though 
in an atmosphere of 
the marvelous; 
but we do not notice it. "

Charles Baudelaire





" Whenever
 two people meet,
 there are really
 six people present. 
There is each one 
as he sees himself, 
each as seen 
by the other person,
 and each one
 as he really is. "

       William James

Sunny Hawaii Day

A    L    O    H    A  !
This morning, we woke to SUN.
 It's been a bit grey lately
" The same view 
you look at 
every day, 
the same life, 
can become 
something brand new 
by focusing on 
its gifts 
rather than the 
negative aspects. 
Perspective is your own 
choice and 
the best way to 
shift that perspective 
is through gratitude, 
by acknowledging and 
appreciating the positives. "

 Bronnie Ware 






Everyone just loving it.
 See the waterfall?
" An artist's career 
always begins 
tomorrow. "

James Whistler





Even the SUN herself was showing off-
 Glad to be back
" We must all 
obey 
the great law of 
change. 
It is the 
most powerful law 
of nature. "

Edmund Burke




Perhaps a Sunset this evening!
" I love the audience
 for my blog and these posts. 
I feel it's one of the few times 
I've seen a community of 
genuine good people 
trying to improve. 
I don't write here 
to sell books 
but to build community 
and make friends. "

 JAMES ALTUCHER

No Great Deed

A    L    O    H    A  !
“ Calmness is 
the cradle of
 power. ” 

 J.G. Holland






" No great deed, 
private or public, 
had ever been 
undertaken in a 
bliss of certainty."

Leon Wieseltier





" If 
you saw a heat wave, 
would you wave 
back? "

Steven Wright








" Excuse me 
while I kiss 
the sky. "


Jimi Hendrix


  =^..^= 

We try to avoid 
 the unpleasant.

But overlooking 
part of experience
only gives us 
'blind spots."

   When we observe 
ourselves, 
without shying away
 from the pain,
insight has a way
of finding us. 

Pain brings truth
 as pleasure does.

 And a wrong turn
can bring you 
to unexpected 
vistas,
fresh insights-
especially
about ourselves.

Honesty
to Self & Other
is a source of
power.

Pause briefly
from being 
the Hero,
or Victim,
and inhabit
the place of the
Witness.

" Everything changes 
once we identify with 
being the witness 
to the story, 
instead of the 
actor in it.” 

 Ram Dass
