"The good, say the mystics of spirit, is God, a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive - a definition that invalidates man's consciousness and nullifies his concepts of existence. The good, say the mystics of muscle, is Society - a thing which they define as an organism that possesses no physical form, a super-being embodied in no one in particular and everyone in general except yourself.... The purpose of man's life, say both, is to become an abject zombie who serves a purpose he does not know, for reasons he is not to question."

"From one Soul of the Universe are all Souls derived. . .Of these Souls there are many changes, some into a more fortunate estate, and some quite contrary. . .Not all human souls but only the pious ones are divine. Once separated from the body, and after the struggle to acquire piety, which consists in knowing God and injuring none, such a soul becomes all intelligence. The impious soul, however, punishes itself by seeking a human body to enter into, for no other body can receive a human soul; it cannot enter the body of an animal devoid of reason. Divine law preserves the human soul from such infamy. . .The soul passeth from form to form; and the mansions of her pilgrimage are manifold. Thou puttest off thy bodies as raiment; and as vesture dost thou fold them up. Thou art from old, O Soul of Man; yea, thou art from everlasting."
~Hermes~

Love and light will always overcome the darkness. May God continue to touch lives so that we can touch others. Angels are everywhere.
~We can all be angels to one another. We can choose to obey the still small stirring within, the little whisper that says, 'Go. Ask. Reach out. Be an answer to someone's plea. You have a part to play. Have faith.' We can decide to risk that He is indeed there, watching, caring, cherishing us as we love and accept love. The world will be a better place for it. And wherever they are, the angels will dance.~ Joan Wester Anderson~

I am you and you are me. We are alike in every way.
Nothing can separate us for our love is true.
Distance is irrelevant so is time.
We are a mirror of each other and our lives include one another.

If there is no you, then there is no me.
You are my life Eduardo Amorim and I love you,
Moanalani xo


"You say that love is nonsense.I tell you it is no such thing.
For weeks and months it is a steady physical pain, an ache
about the heart, never leaving one, by night or by day;
a long strain on one's nerves like toothache or rheumatism,
not intolerable at any one instant, but exhausting by its steady
drain on the strength."
~Henry Brooks Adams~

The power of such gentle creatures as horses with their
feet in movement, is like a symphony of ballet. They stride together
in harmony, one after another. Their different colours are so amazing.
They represent all of us, we are all unique and different in our own way.

Agencia INPUT (HD)

Incredible person, so young with so much talent. He has no boundaries to define himself nor his work. A free soul that journeys high into the sky soaring and reaching for the sun by day making the impossible, possible.

By night, he is shooting for the moon, he never falls too far for he catches a couple hundred stars as he comes back down to Earth. Julio is a great soul, a beautiful young man exploring his dreams and one day will make them come true.

Aloha my friend,

"To love is not a passive thing. To love is active voice. When I love I do something, I function, I give. I do not love in order that I may be loved back again, but for the creative joy of loving. And every time I do so love I am freed, at least a little, by the outgoing of love, from enslavement to that most intolerable of master, myself."

~SELF PORTRAIT OF A BEAUTIFUL SOUL~


slfportrait., originally uploaded by Julio Ignacio Olivares S..

~ fly alone
My heart has lost its wind now
Broken like a dead sail
My love has drifted out to sea

My body has been claimed
Soul has been shipped away
Can't feel the sand between my toes

We set the wrong course and headed due north
That's where we went wrong
We were young and learning steady hearts hate turning
That's where we went wrong

My will to fight has been flushed
Seized like blank babies faces
The water line begins to rise

Let the tide swallow me whole
Like morning light in windows
Let that dark water take me home

We set the wrong course and headed due north
That's where we went wrong
We were young and learning steady hearts hate turning
That's where we went wrong..

Hey come back to me..
