Bright Monstera


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

In crowded streets 
and quiet lanes,

Human tapestry 
without names.

Empathy 
our guiding light,
 And true connection, 
morning or night.

So let us look 
with a kinder eye,
And respect the soul 
of passersby.

In every face 
stories reside,
A testament to the hope
in which we all abide.
Cloudia Charters




Look at the bright side of life 

and the bright side 
will look at you. 
 Ron Baratono


If your inner child is
still alive as an adult,
you won,
you kept your magic,
you didn't let 
the world kill it.
   Anonymous






Everything is irrelevant but this:
to embrace life. To feel it.
To savor it. To love it.

Accept

 

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

With true friends
even water drunk together
is sweet enough.
Chinese proverb


Don't ever get so big
or important that you
can not hear and listen
to every other person. John Coltrane



Our lives
teach us who we are.
Salman Rushdie




Kindness comes easily
once you set it free 
It's how you respond 
With humanity.

When you meet 
their need for grace
In a small, unguarded,
human place
Humbly accept
if their gratitude shows
circulating righteous flows.

A thank you isn’t
a weight or a claim—
it isn’t a spotlight
calling your name.

It’s part of your giving,
the other side—
a hand returning,
open, wide.

For now just stay—
let it land,
not held too tight,
just gently in hand.

Meet their eyes,
Let it be.
A quiet exchange
Of dignity.

Then something completes—
unforced, unplanned—
When kindness circles
and comes back to land.
Cloudia Charters

Screen Of The Ordinary

 
 A  L  O  H  A 
From

The positive energy and love we give to others, heals our own wounds. Angie Karan


Behind the screen of the ordinary can be found unique and wonderful things. Ted Kooser



Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. Ashley Smith

Sign Of Nobility


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu
Happiness is 
not a destination.
It is a method of life.
Burton Hills



Gratitude 
is the sign 
of noble souls.
                   Aesop




Stay positive, 
all other choices 
are pointless 
punishments 
to your psyche.
            Joe Peterson





It does not matter how long 
you are spending on the earth, 
how much money you have gathered or 
how much attention you have received. 
It is the amount of positive vibration 
you have radiated in life that matters.
               Amit Ray

Grass Grows By Itself

 
 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
Twins At this hour the sky leans down— looking to remember. Water holds it, as it always does kissing
this other self. Between them,
a private vow— two yet
never separate. Dusk (or dawn?) they let themselves blur, one into the other
forever and an age.

Here as witness we too are doubled— watching and being watched.
Admiring ourselves.
Cloudia Charters


A wise one changes their mind, a fool never will. Spanish Proverb


Hula is the heartbeat
of the Hawaiian People.


Only a person who 
has passed through
the gate of humility 
can ascend to the 
heights of the spirit. 





Sitting silently,
doing nothing,
the spring comes and
the grass grows by itself. Osho
