A Species Of True Ginger


A L O H A
From
Honolulu
The sun, the earth,
love, friends, our very breath are parts of
the banquet. Rebecca H. Davis



Faces
passing in the street—
How strange,
this crossing of lives, two worlds brushing by in the open air
of the ordinary.

We share the street, we share the light, we share this fragile,
marvelous life.
Strangers, yes— but not entirely.
For a second,
we are characters
in the same story.

Cloudia Charters




Zingiber spectabile is
a species of true ginger, native to Maritime Southeast Asia. It is primarily grown in the West as an ornamental plant, although it has been used in South-East Asia as a medicinal herb. Wikipedia




I am determined to be
cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition. Martha Washington 1st First Lady (FLOTUS) of the USA

Rare Things Carry Quiet Power


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Walk on a rainbow trail; 
walk on a trail of song, 
and all about you
will be beauty.
 There is a way out
of every dark mist, 
over a rainbow trail.
Andra Davis



Moments for reflection
Seldom seen
deeply felt
Always memorable!




Under a blue moon,
the ordinary remembers
how to become magic.

Once in a blue moon
Wisdom arrives softly,
and just when needed.
Some truths
only reveal themselves
after plenty of silence.
Rare moments can teach
lasting lessons.
Not every night
needs a bright moon;
some nights need
a wise one.
When the moon rises,
pause and listen.
Finally, the heart
understands
what the mind has
been seeking.
Cloudia Charters



We all have two lives.
The second one starts
when we realize
we only have one.
Tom Hiddleston

The rare is 
not always distant; 
sometimes it is simply 
overlooked.

Cookie Jar


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Life is full of beauty.
Notice it. Notice the
bumble bee, the small child,
and the smiling faces.
Smell the rain, and
feel the wind. Live
your life to the fullest
potential, and fight
for your dreams.
Ashley Smith


If you look the right way,
you can see that
the whole world
is a garden.
Frances Hodgson Burnett




Each person you meet is an aspect of yourself, clamoring for love. Eric Micha'el Leventhal



I want to take 
all our best moments, 
put them in a jar, and 
take them out like cookies 
and savor each one 
of them forever.

Who You Become


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Magic is believing in yourself.
If you can do that, you can
make anything happen.
Foka Gomez





Rose Ringed Parakeet, Psittacula krameri Link

All the statistics
in the world
can’t measure the
warmth of a smile.
Chris Hart




Day by day
what you choose
what you think
and what you do,
is who you
become.
Heraclitus






If what I say 
resonates with you, 
it is merely because we 
are both branches 
on the same tree.
            W. B. Yeats

Like A Cat

A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
May I craft my life As a Heavenly Island, In the archipelago Of kindly souls. Where gentle waves Of compassion lap At the sandy shores
of love.
Sometimes Big waves thunder An earthquake Under my feet. But breezes whisper wisdom And the air Is fresh and sweet

In this tranquil haven Love will be the sun, Warming hearts and giving strength for the work that must be done. Cloudia Charters

Don't explain
your philosophy.
Embody it.
                        Epictetus

15 Cents was before my time
but the orange juice,
and the breakfast
were a real treat
after a night of work in
my father's janitorial business.
