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.

Quiet Bell

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

A good feeling is trying 
to break back in. 
Insinuating itself, to  
make itself at home.
I will make it welcome.
Then together we can 
face whatever comes up. 
  Pixie





Happiness is not 
a matter of intensity 
but of balance, order, 
rhythm and harmony.
   Thomas Merton






Gratitude  
O quiet bell  
echo my valleys 
With all that's 
gone well.  

Let me rest here,  
In golden sun
cradled atop 
the mountain  
Of all that I've become.
             Cloudia Charters




On our own we glitter…
TOGETHER WE SHINE!

No Amount

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

When an artist dies,
God lets them
paint the sky to
say their goodbye.
Anonymous Folk Saying



Just to be alive
In good health, 
without mishaps, 
Is far more precious 
And brings 
greater happiness 
Than all the wealth 
in the world.
Mokichi Okada




No amount of regret
changes the past.
No amount of anxiety
changes the future.
But any amount of gratitude
changes the present.
Marc & Angel Chernoff

Arises


 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
As each day arises,
welcome it as the
very best day of all, and
make it your own possession.
We must seize what flees.
Seneca




Breathe deeply, dear soul
Just let your worries fade,
Embrace the mysteries
of life, unafraid.





A cheerful frame of mind, reinforced by relaxation... is the medicine that puts all ghosts of fear on the run. George Matthew Adams



You are not the darkness you endured. You are the light that refused to surrender. John Mark Green


We can suffer
and sing
at the same time.
 In fact, we must.
Dr. Jaiya John

Things I Noticed Today


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


After every storm, 
the sky remembers 
how to shine.

Rainbows do not 
erase the rain;
 they reveal 
its hidden beauty,

Beauty that arrives
by surviving 
the storm.
     Pixie





 The secret of happiness 
lies in taking a 
genuine interest
in all the details 
of daily life,
 and in elevating 
them to art. 
    William Morris





Rainbow Shower Tree Blossoming!


You are never too old
to set another goal or
to dream a new dream.
 C.S. Lewis


Angels are closest
when we need them
the mostest.
They don’t always sparkle
or show up the boldest.
They slip in like slippers
on cold kitchen floors,
or hum in the hinges
of half-open doors.
They hide in the pause
between “I can’t”
and “I might,”
in the soft little shift that
turns wrong into “right.”
They don't come
to dazzle
or fix every tear,
just to sit with our ache
and make space for it, Dear.
Sometimes they feel
like a hand on your back
when the road disappears
and you can't find
the track.
And sometimes—this part
is the quietest thing—
they don’t feel like angels
at all, not with wings…
Just a piece of you
that refuses to fall,
a small stubborn spark
that outlasts it all.
So if nothing seems bright
and the day feels
the longest,
remember: that’s when
Angels are working
their strongest.
