For the wise it is easy
to go anywhere.
Because the whole world is
home for a good soul.

hair swinging

when you are happy; But
life salutes you when
you make others happy.

The darkest night is
often the bridge
to the brightest
tomorrow.
Jonathan L. Huie




There will always be
a glimmer in those
who have been
through the dark.

Funny faces, belly laughs,
and a million inside jokes.
Thanks for being my pal.
If you judge our friendship by
the faces we made here
it’s probably a comedy.

You can accomplish
by kindness
what you cannot
by force

May the quiet of dawn 
remind you that 
every breath 
is a beginning.

Peace blooms 
where hope is tended.
Morning carries blessings 
unseen but deeply felt.

Hope rises like light 
across the horizon, 
forgiving the shadows
leaving them behind.

In the hush before sunrise, 
may your heart find its 
way home to calm.

Each dawn is fresh
 you are still becoming.
Let today arrive softly, 
wrapped in the blessings 
of love, peace, and promise.

Exactly As You Are

  A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
The difference between
knowledge and wisdom:
Knowledge is knowing the street
you are about to cross is one-way.
Wisdom is
looking both ways anyway!




You Are A Star! You belong to the
night sky of wonder.
Even in stillness,
refusing to fade.
You shimmer, even shadowed,
reaching my heart
like a secret beacon of hope.
Every breath you take
ripples across the universe. you don’t have to shine
You ARE Shine!
Just keep glowing
as you are:
steady, warm, and real.

I see your light,
when you forget it’s there.
You’ve weathered long nights
yet still find ways to glow.
The world feels a little softer
when you shine on me.
Your brilliance doesn’t rush;
it simply is.
Keep being who you are:
pure kindness, steady in spirit, my friend who glows brighter
on the dark nights.

Thank you
for shining on me!

Cloudia Charters & Pixie

Excellence And Wonder

 

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


Kindness expands 
the light within us 
and reaches out to 
touch the light 
in others as well.
Wayne W. Dyer. 




To the Artemis flyers

You carry  human courage, 
The light of every dream 
 To reach beyond horizons.
Working hard and clean.

You remind us
 Exploration is 
Return to wonder.
The moon is your path, 
But inspiration 
Your gift to Earth.

In your flight we recognize 
The most ancient 
Of all longing
To go farther, see more, 
And become more.
From the silence 
of space 
message of hope.

 Your journey 
Honors the brave, 
Inspires the searcher, 
And lifts the spirit 
Of all who look up.

Artemis flies for discovery, 
For excellence, and  
The hunger
 To meet the unknown 
with courage.
Pixie & Cloudia





Make me a candle
of comfort in this world.
Make me burn
with peace.
  John Roedel
