"Undisturbed calmness of mind

 is attained

 by cultivating friendliness toward the happy,

 compassion for the unhappy, 

delight in the virtuous,

 and indifference toward the wicked."

  Patanjali

"I want to grow old without face-lifts.

 I want to have the courage 

to be loyal to the face

 I have made"

"The personal life deeply

 lived always expands

 into truths beyond itself."

Anais Nin

This lovely world

is a habitrail for humans.

Along the street,

up & down escalators,

past the beach;

Our cities are tunnels

of commerce and feeding.
Of parting
and meeting.

This human ant-farm-

Isn't it lovely to be

a part of it all!

Aloha Everybody!

I know we all agreed

to "not know each other'

for a while-

and that game is fun

with all sorts of possibilities.

But I could never keep a

secret;

I remember quite clearly:

We love one another!

So aloha brother, sister,

cousin -

ALOHA!

                                                                                    warmly, cloudia

Aloha Friend-

"E komo mai.

Bent, Broken, But Unbowed

"Every blade of grass has its angel
 that bends over it
and whispers,
'Grow, grow.' "

 is more alive and more richly colored

 than the day. "
