Smile Cures

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

A smile cures
the wounding
of a frown.
William Shakespeare


I caught luck 
rounding the corner 
like it owns the place!
Wise, warm, and 
a little amused.
Brace Yourself!
The new year 
begins to gleam.






Good hearts speak
the same language even
though we come from
different backgrounds.

We are all
here now and trying to
walk the good path.
Yes. there are those
who have not joined yet.
But WE are the
truly rich ones.

Be Kind And Join Us! Pixie 






Pixie walked through the mirror
and came out twice behind. She didn’t care
which end was back
her tail kept twitching
anyway.
Don't ask which
way you’re going.
That's what Pixie says. just let your worries
get confused
chasing the wrong tail!

The world would be
a nicer place if everyone had the
ability to love as unconditionally
as a dog. M.K. Clinton

Way Out

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

 Walk on a rainbow trail; 

walk on a trail of song, 

and all about you

will be beauty.

 There is a way out

of every dark mist, 

over a rainbow trail. 

Andra Davis

life's work between the 
ages of 80 and 92.


Normal day, let me be

aware of the treasure you are.

Let me learn from you,

love you, savor you, bless you

before you depart. Let me not

pass you by in quest of some

rare and perfect tomorrow.

Mary Jean Irion

Passport To Happiness

 A  L  O  H  A 
From

It’s not selfish

to love yourself, take care of yourself,

and to make your

happiness a priority. It’s necessary. Mandy Hale

Borrowed Glow

 A L O H A 
From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

The noblest art is
that of making
others happy.
    P. T. Barnum




 Blood Moon

Silver slips 
to copper-red,
High above 
the sleeping palms.
With half the island 
tucked in bed.
The sky assumes 
it's quiet calm.


It’s not a fire, 
nor a stain,
But every sunset 
we watched go
Reflected back 
to us again
In one shared, 
borrowed, 
crimson glow.

      Cloudia Charters



The only 
lasting beauty is
the beauty 
of the heart.
          Rumi



A kind heart is a 
fountain of gladness, 
making everything 
in its vicinity 
freshen into smiles. 
Washington Irving

Gentle Knowing Deeper

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face. Victor Hugo


Monkeypod tree
(Samanea saman),
Commonly called:
Rain Tree.

Warbling White-eye (Zosterops japonicus), often called the Japanese White-eye or mejiro. Introduced from Japan in the 1920s-30s, it is now one of Hawaii's most common, noisy, and active urban/forest birds. Here on a Strelitzia nicolai, 
 or giant white bird of paradise.

Your pain is a school 
unto itself–– and 
your joy a lovely temple.
    Aberjhani


In silence
Souls communicate,
Beyond the need for words,
A gentle touch,
A knowing glance,
Where deeper truths
Are heard.

Civil Twilight

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Darkness surrenders,
reluctantly yielding
to day.
Fishing boats awaken
setting out across
 the bay,





Rising sun behind 
casts light across
 the spires: 
windows etched 
and glowing
wrapped 
in silver fires.



Silent Shine
reflections gleam 
dancing over glass
where only dark 
had been.
 

Forgetting night
peace arrives,
simple, profound, 
gratefully alive.
                      Cloudia Charters


新年快乐祝福

Love You,
Pixie & Cloudia

In the lantern hush 
of Chinatown 
a small lion 
learns to roar —
his mask bright red 
as heartbeat,
patina and 
incense of yore

The elder bends, 
encouraging
slips a dollar to the boy
a prayer to the 
future of this magic
our practice of New Year Joy!
Pixie
