Simply

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

Compassion,
Let me be what you 
Are doing today. 
Thank you








A single reed sways,
Bowing to 
the weight of dew,
Neither resisting 
nor clinging;
It simply is.





Blue magic
Seeps over the horizon 
A hush of cobalt velvet ink
draped across the rooftops.
  
Clouds drift slow and deliberate,  
Lamp-lit windows blink awake,  
Each a tiny lantern in the indigo hush.
And the air tastes cool like river stones.

Shadows stretch blue silk fingers  
Reluctant to surrender
The day’s last golden relics.

Somewhere, a breeze stirs.

Dusk the gentle conjurer,  
Turns the world to her quiet spell—  
Even the trees hold their breath,  
As the first star, shy and electric,  
Winks from the pocket
Of the waking night.

Cloudia Charters



The sun rises and falls,
Moon waxes and wanes.
No effort binds them;
They are what they are.






Trust that whatever
you are dealing with,
whatever doorway to crisis
you experience, it is leading
you to a greater lesson in living
where ideally the power
of love is what you learn.
Forgive, and broadcast your
excitement to be alive.
Barbara Marciniak

Replenish

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

Rest and self-care 
are so important. 
When you take time to 
replenish your spirit, it allows 
you to serve others from 
the overflow. You cannot 
serve from an empty vessel.
     Eleanor Brownn




Life should be touched, 
not strangled. 
You've got to relax, 
let it happen at times... 
    Ray Bradbury








Thanks for skies 
Immeasurably blue,  
Clouds drifting softly 
With nothing to do,  
Rivers flow 
Always free,  
A quiet hymn
Called: Simply BE.  

The sparrow doesn't
Sing tomorrow,  
Needs no plans
Or borrowed sorrow.  
The song is now
Wings are here 
Let blessed joy
Sing pure and clear.  

So sketch your plans
Upon the shore;  
Where waves erase them
In perfect candor.
Walk barefoot
Where this earth is kind,  
Tonic for the busy mind.  

A breath, a laugh,
The sky so wide  
These gifts await
When worries subside.

   Cloudia Charters 




Almost everything 
will work again if 
you unplug it 
for a few minutes, 
including you.
   Anne Lamott

An intellectual says 
simple thing in a difficult way; 
An artist says a difficult thing 
in a simple way

Never Lose

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U
Tremendous beauty 
can be found in 
the tiniest of things... 
for who has ever 
thought to rival that 
of a butterfly's wing? 
     K. D'Angelo





Never lose an opportunity
 of seeing anything beautiful, 
for beauty is God's handwriting. 
 Ralph Waldo Emerson

Linking To



 I have never been 
especially impressed
 by the heroics of people
 who are convinced they are 
about to change the world. 
I am more awed by those 
who struggle to make
 one small difference 
after another.

The second one starts
when we realize
we only have one.

was all aglow, as he wiggled his fins
and waved hello. Darlene Gifford
