Honolulu

All humans realize they are loved when witnessing the dawn; early morning is the triumph of good over evil. Absolved by light we decide to go on. Rufus Wainwright

 HAPPINESS
Always Looks Small
When You Hold It
 In Your Hand -
 But Let It Go,
And You learn at once 
How B I G And how
PRECIOUS it is.

On the breeze,

A gentle promise

Alights on the trees.

Soul Signs And Rainbow Message

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

The need to be right

is the sign of a

vulgar mind. 

     

Albert Camus

 Gratitude is the sign 
of noble souls.
                   Aesop

Rainbows do not argue 

with the storm.
Arriving after, 

they quietly prove

 the light.

 I am still here, 

and have learned 

how to bend.

Showing the strength 

that softens and listens.
 Not every battle 

must be met with fire.

Some are answered 

with color, with patience, 

with grace that refuses 

to break.

Deepest wisdom 

may be knowing 

when to be 

like the rainbow,

Standing in the rain

And shining.

Cloudia Charters

& PiXie

The greatness of a person
is measured by the way
they treat the little guy.
Compassion for the weak
is a sign of greatness. 
   Myles Munroe

Ocean Of Meanings

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey to the ocean of meanings... Rumi

We don't have to engage

in grand, heroic actions

to participate in the

process of change.

Small acts, when

multiplied by millions

of people, can

transform the world.

  Howard Zinn

Drink It Up!

No life is small. No life is invisible. Each of us touches far more lives than we will ever know. Allan N Schwartz PhD

Our Town

   A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Take the long way

by the sea. Where the road

meets the ocean,

peace begins. A beautiful drive

with salt air and

open sky. Coastal roads turn

miles into memories. Follow the shoreline

and let your mind drift.

Pixie

Workday Honolulu

Tropic sun, rusted tin,

and a rainbow at the end.

Industrial alleys, and

faded roofs that eventually

give way to breathtaking

island light and beauty.

The Hawaiian monk seal

(Neomonachus schauinslandi) is an endangered, earless seal species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, making it one of the world’s rarest marine mammals and the only seal found in the tropics. Adult seals typically measure 6–7.5 feet in length, weigh 400–600 pounds, and are recognized for their sleek gray coats and solitary or small-group behavior. With a population of only about 1,400 individuals, Hawaiian monk seals face threats from habitat loss, entanglement, disease, and human disturbance and are protected by federal and state laws. The species plays a vital role in the local ecosystem but relies on ongoing conservation efforts for survival.

Remember to go outside everyday and walk on the Earth and look around at the beauty – the birds, the trees, the flowers blooming. Put your mind at ease by remembering the cycles of Nature, which are endless and renewing constantly. We are part of that Nature –

and are also renewing. Don’t lose faith in that which is timeless-your heart, soul and nature. We are all related Mitakuye Oyasin
