Put your thoughts

to sleep, do not let them cast a shadow over the moon of your heart. Let go of thinking. Rumi

Who suffers

before it is necessary,

suffers more

than is necessary. Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Don't fall before

you are punished.

Olde English proverb

I drop kindness pebbles in still water everyday, and I watch the effect they have on other people’s lives. My favorite kindness pebbles are compliments. Drop a compliment and watch the ripple affect that it has in your life. John A Passaro

High and fine literature is wine, and mine is only water; but everybody likes water. Mark Twain

surround you and yet

give you illumined freedom.

the truth in different things:

the narrow-minded see

only the differences.

cost a cent,

but draws a 

lot of interest.

A box without hinges,

key, or lid, yet golden treasure

inside is hid. J. R. R. Tolkien

This intricate and beloved mosaic of the Chinese goddess Quan Yin with several Fierce Immortals used to live in Waikiki.

When the building was razed the challenge of moving the mosaic was just too expensive, and so it lives only in photos and my memory. Hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I do

Style Endures

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

We must let go 

of the life we 

have planned, so 

as to accept the one 

that is waiting for us.

   Joseph Campbell

Fashion changes, 

but style endures.

 Coco Chanel

 The Ant

Hulu is small,

but the earth 

knows his weight.

He carries mountains

one crumb at a time.

No hurry - no worry

one thing at a time.

When winds 

bend the grass,

he walks through it 

as a marvelous forest.

Always finding

the way home.

Cloudia Charters

The world stands aside
to let anyone pass
who knows
where she is going.

Triumphant To The Sunset

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

The true purpose of education

is to teach one to carry oneself

triumphant to the sunset.

  Liberty Hyde Bailey

Double-flowered tropical hibiscus, likely a hybrid cultivar of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, featuring vibrant orange and peach petals with a pinkish-red center. 

In a world of green,

a splash of delight,

This happy little flower,

so bright. 

Yellow petals,

sunshine's embrace,

Mauve accents,

a touch of grace.

Petals unfurl, like

a butterfly's wings,

Dancing in the breeze,

while sunbeams sing.

You fill the air

with fragrance sweet,

A symphony of color,

So lovely to meet.

      Cloudia Charters

Be an encourager.

The world has plenty

of critics already.

Less Is More: REST

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

There is in art 

the notion

of less is more,

which is to say,

you don't torture 

a painting

that has already 

confessed.

 Robert Breault

There are many 

kinds of smiles, 

each a passport 

to new places.

 Frances Frost

What is tolerance? 

It is the consequence 

of humanity. 

We are all formed of 

frailty and error; 

let us pardon reciprocally 

each other's folly - 

that is the first 

law of nature.

 Voltaire

Once we believe
in ourselves, we can
risk curiosity, wonder,
spontaneous delight, or
any experience that
reveals the human spirit.
e. e. cummings

Completely Nothing

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Having an eye 

for beauty is 

one of the steps 

towards a richer life.

Carl Jung

There is one piece of advice, in a life of study, which I think no one will object to; and that is, every now and then to be completely idle - to do nothing at all.

Sydney Smith

Contentment is 

a pearl of great price, 

and whoever procures it 

at the expense of 

ten thousand desires 

makes a wise and 

a happy purchase.

  John Balguy

Everyone chases

after happiness,

not noticing that

happiness is right

at their heels.
Bertolt Brecht
