Between Dreams

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

A person is a success if
they get up in the morning
and get to bed at night
and in between does
what he wants to do.
Bob Dylan

The moon is alive because of the darkness - how could we ever be afraid of something that gives the stars a home? Laura Chouette

I get up every morning and 

it's going to be a great day. 

You never know when 

it's going to be over so 

I refuse to have a bad day.

Between Dreams:

Life's endings and beginnings
by Cloudia Charters

The old dream
has gone quiet.
The new one
has no name.

I stand where they
do not meet
and find the distance empty
of everything but pain.

But rain rests here
before it falls.
A seed lies still
before it grows tall.

Perhaps I do not
have to start
with hope
or even light.

Just for today
I only need
to leave my
front door ajar
to let the morning
alight.

Half Of Our Mistakes

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

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.          

         Richard Cecil  

The way we choose

to see the world 

creates the

world we see. 

Barry Neil Kaufman

Never say there is 

nothing beautiful in

 the world anymore. 

There is always something 

to make you wonder 

in the shape of a tree, 

the trembling of a leaf.

                Albert Schweitzer

Half of our mistakes in life

 arises from feeling

 where we ought to

 think,

and thinking 

where we ought to 

feel.

Carrying All Along

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

We are born to kiss the stars and dance with the Moon. Avijeet Das

A sweet drink 

is a primal joy

known to every 

girl and boy.

A sip of sun 

brightens the day.

Ice clinks percussion

as hurry melts away.

Cloudia 

In daylight

 this door looks tired,

paint worn thin,

but welcoming still.

Walking 

down the sidewalk,

I wonder who goes in,

what music waits inside.

One neon evening,

we might stop in

and join the fun!

People talk about
entering nirvana, but
we are already there.
Thich Nhat Hanh

I have seen 

a thousand moons: 

harvest moons 

like gold coins, 

winter moons as 

white as ice chips, 

new moons like 

baby swans' feathers.

Gerald Malcolm Durrell

There are more planets 

than grains of sand 

on the Earth.

A man and a hologram 

walk into a bar.  

The bartender says, 

“Sorry, we don’t serve your kind.” 

The hologram says, 

“That’s okay. 

I'm not really here."

Rough Water Dog

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

There is no need to run,

strive, search or struggle.

Just be. Just being

in the moment in

this place is the

deepest practice

of meditation.

Thich Nhat Hanh

Jacaranda tree

I do not owe my opponents 

my affection, warmth, or regard. 

But I do owe myself a chance 

to live in this world 

without the burden of hate.

 Valarie Kaur

The most important

decision you make is

to be in a good mood.

A Friend May Be Waiting

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

I don't think bad things

happen to good people;

I think bad things

happen to everyone,

and the way good people

respond is what

makes them good.

Cockspur Coral Tree (Erythrina crista-galli),
also known as the ceibo or cry-baby plant

I don't love you

with my heart and mind,

I love you with my soul,

in case my mind forgets

and my heart stops.

Rumi

13th-century Persian poet

Skills can be learned

and achievements

can be earned, but

character determines

how those gifts are used

and the legacy

they leave behind. Leonardo da Vinci

On an ordinary morning

light writes on the wall.

A leaf moves outside,

 window brings sun,

Together they write 

and I can almost 

scry what they mean!

Then a cloud moves

and the whole bright sentence

becomes the next.

I can almost make it out!

Nothing going on

just light, reflection,

shadow and me

On this ordinary day.

Pixie
