Age Is Opportunity

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Life is unpredictable. 
Situations will move 
at their own pace, 
especially the ones we 
have no control over. 
We find ourselves at times, 
angry at a possible scenario 
in a situation that hasn’t 
even happen yet. 
Then, the exact 
opposite happens. 
Looking back at the 
thoughts wasted and 
false anguish, 
we’re all better off with 
patience and an open mind.
   Ron Baratono

Don't fool yourself,
just COOL yourself!

There is frequently more 
to be learned from 
the unexpected questions 
of a child than the 
discourses of men. 
     John Locke




Deal with the faults 
of others as gently 
as with your own.
Chinese Proverb








For age is opportunity
 no less than youth itself, 
though in another dress, 
and as the evening 
twilight fades away, 
the sky is filled with 
stars, invisible by day.
                    Longfellow



Trust in your truth,
and in your courage to
share it with the world.
Your truth can help
many people and
transform many lives.
Scott Stabile

The Hawaii state flag
was first commissioned by
King Kamehameha I in 1816,
making it one of the oldest
flags in continuous use
in the United States. The current design above
was officially adopted on
December 29, 1845,
during the reign of
Kamehameha III, and has
remained unchanged through
the Kingdom, Republic, Territory,
and State of Hawaii.


Hawaii became the
50th U.S. state in 1959,
the flag was retained as
the official state flag.

A change of feeling
is change of destiny.
All creation occurs in the
domain of the subconscious.

Keep green places
in your heart.
Perhaps a singing bird
will nest there 
   Chinese Proverb





Every year of my life 
I grow more convinced 
that it is wisest and best
to fix our attention 
on the beautiful and good
and dwell as little
as possible on the
          dark and the base.

The Water And The Sky

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

The sky and the water
Are mirrors of each other.
One reflects infinity,
The other possibility. Sky meets the water
At the horizon like
Our dreams meet reality
Clouds drift across the sky
Ripples dance on water;
Both remind us:
Change is the only constant.
Water and sky hold the
Promise of new beginnings
And the wisdom
Of endless journeys.
Water teaches us to flow
Sky teaches us to soar
Together, they show us
The art of balance.
Cloudia Charters


Even the opposite side
has an opposite side. Traditional Japanese wisdom He who knows only
his own side of the case
knows little of that.
J. S. Mill



Poets utter great 
and wise things 
which they do not 
themselves understand. 
      Plato



The wisdom of the ages 
lives not in what we own, 
but in how we live and 
how we love, 
in how we mend 
what has been torn, 
and how we cherish 
what remains.
Allan N. Schwartz, PhD

Flowers In Gentleness

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Life,
what an exquisite privilege. Katie Rubinstein

 
It takes courage to be kind. Maya Angelou


Ipomoea triloba, 
Commonly: 
Littlebell or Aiea morning glory
I am awaiting a great
Renaissance of kindness,
When love will bloom
Like flowers in gentleness.

When hearts will open
wide and true,
Embracing all
With compassion anew.

In a dawn 
Of gentle grace,
Forgiveness flowing
A warm embrace.

With every breath
A new world will arise,
Where kindness reigns
And souls recognize
The beauty of our shared
Humanity that shines,
Radiant tapestry
Of hearts and minds.
Cloudia Charters



Playfulness and delight 
can lead to 
unexpected insights.

Canada Day

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Especially To Our
Dear Canadian Friends!

July 1, 1867. 
Three colonies became the 
Dominion of Canada, 
and the world became 
a better one. 
Every American should 
appreciate the giant country 
that spans the North American 
continent from the Atlantic to 
the Pacific and from the Rocky 
Mountains to the Arctic. 
She is the world's oldest 
bilingual, pluralistic, 
parliamentary democracy and 
a force for human dignity, 
rights and liberty 
around the world. 
      Steve Schmidt


God Bless 
The Canadian People!

Bonne fête du Canada!




There’s calm in the 
mind of the humble. 
An unmistakable peace 
of not having to prove 
anything to anyone.
   Ron Baratono


Oh Magic 8-Ball,
round and wise, With cryptic gaze
and inky eyes, I shake you up—
my fate to see, You answer:
“Ask again, maybe.”




Do not think I've reached
where I am now by slipping
like a landslide or evaporating
like a cloud. Suman PokhrelI  *
