Ataraxia

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

When the wind
forgets to hurry
so does the heart.

Untroubled leaves
can rest
where they fall—
nothing to resist.

Peace is not won,
only remembered,
like finding calm water
in the middle

of the storm.

Cloudia Charters

The tree can whisper
with the clouds only if
its roots go very deep
into the earth.
Osho

Hope is being able
to see that there is
light despite all of
the darkness.
Desmond Tutu

To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer

to the universe. Eckhart Tolle

Unchallenged Thought

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

The real voyage of discovery

consists not in 

seeking new landscapes

but in having new eyes.

  Proust

We are here to 

help each other 

get through this thing,

whatever it is.

Kurt Vonnegut

The unchallenged thought

Is a closed, dim room,  

Airless as midnight

A monotonous tune.  

Open a window 

— Questions bloom —  

Wind takes the walls

Leaving sky and a moon.  

What good is a mirror

That will not break?  

What good is an answer

That never aches?  

Unlearn the shape

That the silence made,  

let doubt carve rivers

Through the mind’s parade.  

Every bright star

Turns to ash in the day;  

It's the burning Now

that ever lights my way.  

Cloudia Charters 

Like all great travelers, I have seen more

than I remember, and remember more

than I have seen. Benjamin Disraeli

Back-Lit Glass!  At San Rafael Joe's

People are like 

stained-glass windows. 

They sparkle and shine 

when the sun is out, but 

when the darkness sets in, 

their true beauty is revealed only 

if there is a light from within.

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross 

Bird's Song

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

You see 

in the world 

what you carry 

in your heart.

 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The only person 

you are destined to 

become is the person 

you decide to be.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who do not. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down

is a part of life, getting back up

is living. José N. Harris

The bird's song,

Which Is The Reflection?

One joy scatters

a hundred griefs.

Every positive thought

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.

More Of This Today

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

There's calm in each and every day, we just need to practice reaching out for it. Ron Baratono

Allow yourself

to trust joy and embrace it. You will find you dance with everything. Ralph Waldo Emerson 

Be kind.

Say thank you.

Hold the door open.

Compliment as many

people as you can.

Point out the good

and be the good.

Treat others the way

you want to be treated.

Love, serve and care.

The world needs

more of this today! Jon Gordon 

 It is a beautiful 

and blessed world 

we live in, and

while life lasts, to

lose the enjoyment

of it is a sin. 

  A.W. Chambers 

(Let us be)...

energized by the beauty

that is all around us, and

rather than 

becoming discouraged

and rendered helpless by

the ignorance and evil

that is so obvious,

we shall become 

strengthened

by the goodness and love

that is also everywhere.

And then shall we be able

to use the gift of our lives,

to make the world that

little bit better - every day.
