A Finer Horizon

A  L  O  H  A !

“ A well-ordered life 

is like climbing a tower; 

the view halfway up 

is better than the 

view from the base, 

and it steadily 

becomes  finer as

the horizon expands.”

Life can surprise you!

I think THAT's

what I really want

to tell You today.

Anything Can Happen.

We say that,

and shudder;

We hold our loved ones

closer and say a prayer

or charm.

Yes, Anything

can happen.

And that includes

unseen blessings

out of a bright blue sky-

or even BETTER:

a grey & stormy sky!

What a difference

a Day makes.

"Don't cry for the one

that left you,

the next one might 

fall for your smile."

counselled Mae West.

And she was right.

Today is a treasure,

just to exist.

And sometimes

it explodes with happiness.

That's part of Life too!

Don't discount a Serendip,

or turn away 

a Heff-a-lump.

You just might find

that lucky clover.

It could happen!

After all,

I'm wishing 

YOU

the best!

Possibility Windows

A  L  O  H  A  from  Honolulu!

If you die tonight, 

what stories 

will they tell about

 you tomorrow?  

“ The illegality of cannabis

 is outrageous, an impediment

 to full utilization of a drug 

which helps produce the serenity

 and insight, sensitivity and fellowship 

so desperately needed in 

this increasingly mad 

and dangerous world. ” 

                  Carl Sagan

" I dwell in Possibility -

A fairer House than Prose-

More numerous of Windows - "

                             Emily Dickinson

. . . And So It Goes. . .



" It does not matter 
how slowly you go 
so long as you 
do not stop. "
                Confucius
