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.

King Kalakaua

Only a person who 

has passed through

the gate of humility 

can ascend to the 

heights of the spirit. 

  Rudolf Steiner

Sitting silently,

doing nothing,

the spring comes and

the grass grows by itself. Osho

If The Ocean

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

If the ocean can 
calm itself so can you. 
We are both salt water 
mixed with air.
    Nayyirah Waheed

May you live 
everyday of your life.
             Jonathan Swift

Never be in a hurry; 

do everything quietly 

and in a calm spirit. 

Do not lose your inner peace 

for anything whatsoever, 

even if your whole 

world seems upset.

            Saint Francis de Sales

I set out to find my peace

in the skies and the tulips,

in the howling of the winds,

in the rain under the shed

and it was right there

residing within me. Suyasha Subedi

Gratitude is the 

quiet spark that turns 

ordinary moments into 

a flame of peace 

and contentment.

 Joseph Meyering Sr

A sense of curiosity is nature's original school of education. Smiley Blanton

Hawaiian  Monk  Seal

Every day 

we have a choice.

How you see the world

determines 

the world you see.

Look for the good.

See the possibilities.

Remember, challenges

are opportunities.

Have a spirit so beautiful
that when people see you
all they notice is your glow.
Germany Kent

I place a high moral value

on the way people behave. I find it repellent to have a lot, and to behave with anything other than courtesy in the old sense of the word - politeness of the heart, a gentleness of the spirit. Fran Lebowitz

In hard times, people don't want to be told to look on the bright side. They want to know you're on their side. Adam Grant

Crinum asiaticum, a type of spider lily

A star 

never lets anything

dull its sparkle,

not even darkness.

 Matshona Dhliwayo

Sometimes the most urgent

and vital thing you can

possibly do is take

a complete rest.

To know someone who thinks & feels with us, and who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden. Goethe

Merrily Shall I Live

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Can words describe
the fragrance
of the very breath
of Spring?
Neltje Blanchan

Morning never forgets.
In any sort of weather
She knows just how to arise.

This man is already here
Wondering about the day.
The dog knows better
Running ahead
Circling back
Stitching the man
To her heart.
No commands break the air
Just soft negotiations
Between the waves and sand.

The dog returns
leans once
against his leg.
The sun lifts
with quiet ceremony.

For a moment
We are not lonely
Not waiting
Nor remembering.
Grateful bodies
Held briefly
In the rising light.
Cloudia Charters

Crinum is a genus of about 180 species of perennial plants that have large showy flowers on leafless stems, and develop from bulbs. They are found in seasonally moist areas, including marshes, swamps, depressions and along the sides of streams and lakes in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide.

Merrily, merrily shall I live now,
Under the blossom 
that hangs on the bough.
 William Shakespeare

I enjoy the Spring more than the Autumn now. One does, I think, as one gets older. Virginia Woolf, Jacob's Room
