Pixie’s Halloween Party

 A L O H A
From
Honolulu

A pensive little dog 

in her party dress.

All dressed up, 

with second thoughts.

She knew she looked lovely. 

It was just the mingling.

Perhaps she could 

greet the hostess and 

slip under a chair.

She paused at the door to 

collect herself. 

And sniff.

Her dress said party. 

Her eyes said home.

Maybe the will be cheese!

A little shy. 

A little overdressed. 

Very interested in 

refreshments.

I fact she was

obsessed!

Pixie

I’m not judging. 
This is just my 
resting dragon face.

I came for the view. 
I stayed for 
the nonsense.

Don’t look up. 
It only encourages me.
A little perspective—and 
suddenly everyone’s 
a snack!

Guest Dragon

Little dog in goggles,

taking in the day—

so many people,

so many smells.

Such fun to see them

all on their way!

Pixie brought her 
stuffed pals near—
“Come, my dears, 
the party’s here!”

Bear wore wings, 
a ghost wore lace—
oh, that’s Bunny! 
There’s her face!

Dog came dressed up 
as a bat.
Pixie wore 
a witch’s hat.

They danced beneath 
a pumpkin light,
a tumble of soft 
Halloween delight.

She tucked them close, 
a sleepy crew.
The party ended.
Purring grew.

Pirate Pom with fluffy paws,
A tiny terror, mighty jaws.
Don’t let that powder-puff disguise
Distract you from his 
“hand it over” eyes!

Greatness Disguised

For though my faith

 is not yours and your 

faith is not mine, if 

we are each free to light 

our own flame, together 

we can banish some of 

the darkness of the world.

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks

Silence is 

a profound melody, 

for those who can hear it 

above all the noise.

            Socrates

You carry greatness 

disguised in 

tiny potentials.

Don't let anybody 

who hasn't  been in your shoes 

tell you how to tie your laces

The life of our city is rich 

in poetic and marvelous subjects. 

We are enveloped and steeped 

as though in an atmosphere 

of the marvelous...

Honolulu

We're all traveling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride Richard Curtis

To continue and preserve 
is power. 
What was hard to bear 
is sweet to remember.

Let them bloom by giving them your

warm smiles, your soft

gentle words falling on them like rain and

your art of confidence.

You will be amazed at your

own garden. Abaida Mahmood

Love consists in this,
that two solitudes protect
and touch and greet
each other.

The amount of good things
in your life depends on
your ability to notice them!

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

In my heart

a flicker gleams—

a spark of hope,

a distant dream.

At last, from depths

of darkest night,

the dawn unfolds

its healing light.

Let us unite,

our hearts aflame,

to mend the world

and ease its pain.

With kindness sown

and room for grace,

we’ll make this world

a gentler place.

You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth. Evan Esar

Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change. Bob Kerrey

Success

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Calmness of mind is 

one of the beautiful 

jewels of wisdom. 

It is the result of long 

and patient effort in self-control. 

Its presence is an indication 

of ripened experience,

   James Allen

I have learned that success is
to be measured not so much by
the position that one has reached in life
as by the obstacles which had to be
overcome while trying to succeed.
Booker T. Washington

Success

To have lived well, laughed often, and loved much; to have earned respect and the love of children; to have left the world a little better— through a flower, a poem, a life helped along; to have seen the best in others and given your own; to leave a memory that brings comfort. Adapted from Bessie Anderson Stanley

Success need not be loud.
A small step changes 
where you stand.
Some victories
are yours alone 
to know.

You Can

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

True friends are those 

who lift you up

when your heart's wings 

forget how to fly.

You Can 

by Cloudia Charters 

Stone is hard,

the opening small.

Yet tender leaves

Appear through it all.

We too reach out

for love, for rain,

to find our green

again and again.

You need not move

the whole stone wall.

Reach for the light.

Grow proud and tall.

We carry inside us 
the wonders we seek 
outside us. 
        Rumi

We Love You,

Cloudia & Pixie

Usually I don't like to get 

behind a fish truck. . .

Walk tall as the trees, 
live strong as 
the mountains, 
be gentle as
the spring winds, 
keep the warmth 
of the summer sun 
in your heart and 
the great spirit will 
always be with you.
Native American proverb
