She carried a thousand lights

thousand lights carried her.

If only I could see myself 

from the same vantage point 

that I observe the world; 

I might judge my behavior and 

expressions more critically, 

and others less.

We must not allow other peoples'

spread and heal.

May it start with a

quiet joy you

allow yourself to feel.

Do not wait for

Every truth has two sides; 

it is as well to look at both, 

before we commit 

ourselves to either.

Old Nonsense

A  L  O  H  A !

I only know how to approach a place by walking. 

For what does a street photographer do 

but walk and watch and wait and talk, 

and then watch and wait some more, 

trying to remain confident that the 

unexpected, the unknown, or the secret 

heat of the known awaits just 

around the corner.

Do the thing and you will have the power.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Finish each day and be done with it. 

You have done what you could. 

Some blunders and absurdities 

no doubt crept in; forget them 

as soon as you can. . .

. . . Tomorrow is a new day; 

begin it well and serenely 

and with too high a spirit 

to be encumbered with 

your old nonsense.

Not For Everyone

A  L  O  H  A !

I realize that humor 

isn't for everyone.

 It's only for people 

who want to have fun, 

enjoy life, and feel alive.

Anne Wilson Schaef 

Those who love deeply

 never grow old;

 they may die of old age, 

but they die young.

Benjamin Franklin

Waikiki By Night

There was a sky somewhere 

above the tops of the buildings, 

with stars and a moon and 

all the things there are in a sky, 

but they were content to think 

of the distant street lights 

as planets and stars. If the lights 

prevented you from seeing the heavens, 

then perform a little magic and change 

reality to fit the need. The street lights 

were now planets and stars and moon.

Hubert Selby Jr.

There are truths 

which one can see 

only when it’s dark

It is so small a thing

Dare to Believe

Never be in a hurry;

Do not lose your inner peace
