There Is A Light

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

There is a light that shines
beyond all things on earth,
beyond the highest,
the very highest heavens.
This is the light that
shines in your heart.
        Upanishads

The fragrance of flowers 

spreads only in the direction 

of the wind. But the 

goodness of a person 

spreads 

in all directions. 

     Chanakya

There is no glory in star 

or blossom till looked upon 

by a loving eye -

            William Cullen Bryant

Unity is that

we come together

despite our differences.

Three Faces

By Pixie

Every face 

carries a story

some still waiting 

to be understood.

Golden Fog

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Angels of the sunset clouds, dancing in on wings of gold— they turn through amber

and lapis light before the evening

grows too old.

Multi-colored hybrid Tropical Hibiscus

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis

I'm right here right now and I want now to be the Golden Age. If only each generation would realize that the time for greatness is right now when they're alive. . . . . . the time to flower is now. Patti Smith

If you only walk on sunny days you'll never reach your destination. Paulo Coelho

Golden fog The lagoon is

dreaming yellow. Mist moves like a spirit Remembering its song.

When ordinary

Becomes sacred. Even the lagoon

Has a soul

Fog begins

To dance. Allow the light

To find you.

A quiet spirit

can transform a gray morning

into gold.

Crescent

From

Honolulu

It is almost impossible
to watch a sunset
and not dream.
Bern Williams

The lesser goldfinch is a small finch

in the genus Spinus native to the Americas.

The sparrow that is twittering
on the edge of my balcony
is calling up to me this moment
a world of memories
that reach over half my lifetime,
and a world of hope
that stretches farther
than any flight
of sparrows. Donald G. Mitchell

Crescent

By Cloudia Charters A crescent moon reminds us that becoming is beautiful. Even a sliver of light can guide us through a long journey. The crescent does not apologize for being incomplete. Patience is the moon’s wisdom: every phase arrives in its own time. It grows quietly, yet the whole sky notices. Even a thin moon carries the promise of fullness. The crescent is a smile the night offers to those who look up. You do not have to be whole to be luminous. Every new beginning starts with a little light. The crescent teaches us that less can still be enough— and what appears to be a fragment may already be the beginning of renewal. It holds within its slender curve patience, hope, and the promise of becoming.

When you've lost sight 

of your path, 

listen for the

destination

 in your heart.

Follow The Flowers

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Without leaps of imagination
or dreaming, we lose
the excitement of possibilities.
Dreaming, after all is
a form of planning.
Gloria Steinem

Like the hummingbird
sipping nectar from every flower,
I fly joyfully through my days,
seeing beauty in everything.
Amethyst Wyldfyre

Shine brightly, so 

you can help those who have not found their path a way through the darkness. Jeffrey Fry

If animals could speak,
the dog would be
a blundering outspoken fellow;
but the cat
would have the rare grace
of never saying
a word too much.
Mark Twain

Effort Into Grace

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. Nelson Mandela

Moving As One

Together,

we become the wind

a congregation of courage,

Flowing like a prayer

in motion.

Every wheel sings

the same circle song 

of becoming one,

a single heartbeat.

In the rush,

we discover stillness—

the quiet unity

of moving as one,

a living flame

racing through the world.

Leaning into the wind,

trusting one another,

we turn effort into grace,

distance into beauty,

and the road

into a hymn of freedom.

Confidence is the sweet spot between arrogance and despair- consisting of positive expectations for favorable outcomes. Rosabeth Moss Kanter

but keep it in its sheath.
