Basic Kind

A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Seating themselves on the greensward, they eat while the corks fly and there is talk, laughter and merriment, and perfect freedom, for the universe is their drawing room and the sun their lamp.

Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

Smiling is the most basic kind of peace work.

 Thich Nhat Hanh

People, I just want to say, 

can't we all get along? 

Can't we all get along?

We are the boat, 

we are the sea,

 I sail in you,

Sometimes

It's okay to cry. 

That may just be

Where your powers lie.

 Marianne Moore

They may push,

They may shove,

But I'll only rise above. Their words

Can't define me, I decide who I'll be! I choose how

I'll behave, Actions right and brave Not swayed

By their misdeeds, Keep planting

Those good seeds! Stand tall,

Proud, and bright,

Be a beacon to the night. Head held high

Please always be The change we want

And need to see.

Underneath my outside face

There's a face that

none can see. A little less smiley,

A little less sure,

But a whole lot

more like me.

Ask Any Child

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. Bertrand Russell

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world, E. B. White 

Magic is not about having 

a puzzle to solve. It's 

about creating a moment 

of awe and astonishment. 

And that can be 

a beautiful thing     

     David Blaine

Shine your soul with the same

egoless humility as the rainbow

and no matter where you go

in this world or the next,

love will find you, 

attend you,

and bless you.

       Aberjhani

Never ever doubt in magic. 

The purest honest thoughts 

come from children, ask 

any child if they believe 

in magic and they will 

tell you the truth.     

Scott Dixon

Immediate and Changing

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

The always immediate 

and changing

 eternal sea 

makes light of today’s 

“important” concerns. 

Things always look different

 out here on the water, 

off shore, untied.

Soft dawn light breaks,

Potential trembles like dew—

Your moment arrives

🐉

Good Luck!

Out on the edge 

you see 

all kinds of things 

you can't see 

from the center.

 Kurt Vonnegut

Perhaps there is a soul

hidden in everything and

it can always speak,

without even

making a sound,

to another soul.

Frances Hodgson

What I know

Is just a dewdrop

Rolling down 

wisdom's leaf.

Certainty melts

Like frost at dawn

Leaving space 

for wonder.

Each question opens

Another door

To rooms 

I've never been.
