Soul Signs And Rainbow Message


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu



The need to be right

is the sign of a

vulgar mind. 

     
Albert Camus



 Gratitude is the sign 
of noble souls.
                   Aesop




Rainbows do not argue 
with the storm.
Arriving after, 
they quietly prove
 the light.

 I am still here, 
and have learned 
how to bend.

Showing the strength 
that softens and listens.
 Not every battle 
must be met with fire.

Some are answered 
with color, with patience, 
with grace that refuses 
to break.

Deepest wisdom 
may be knowing 
when to be 
like the rainbow,
Standing in the rain
And shining.
Cloudia Charters
& PiXie





The greatness of a person
is measured by the way
they treat the little guy.
Compassion for the weak
is a sign of greatness. 
   Myles Munroe

Ocean Of Meanings


  A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
Rise up nimbly and go on your strange journey to the ocean of meanings... Rumi


We don't have to engage
in grand, heroic actions
to participate in the
process of change.
Small acts, when
multiplied by millions
of people, can
transform the world.
  Howard Zinn

No life is small. No life is invisible. Each of us touches far more lives than we will ever know. Allan N Schwartz PhD

Our Town

   A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
Take the long way
by the sea. Where the road
meets the ocean,
peace begins. A beautiful drive
with salt air and
open sky. Coastal roads turn
miles into memories. Follow the shoreline
and let your mind drift.
Pixie




Workday Honolulu
Tropic sun, rusted tin,
and a rainbow at the end.
Industrial alleys, and
faded roofs that eventually
give way to breathtaking
island light and beauty.
Our Town.


The Hawaiian monk seal
(Neomonachus schauinslandi) is an endangered, earless seal species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, making it one of the world’s rarest marine mammals and the only seal found in the tropics. Adult seals typically measure 6–7.5 feet in length, weigh 400–600 pounds, and are recognized for their sleek gray coats and solitary or small-group behavior. With a population of only about 1,400 individuals, Hawaiian monk seals face threats from habitat loss, entanglement, disease, and human disturbance and are protected by federal and state laws. The species plays a vital role in the local ecosystem but relies on ongoing conservation efforts for survival.

Remember to go outside everyday and walk on the Earth and look around at the beauty – the birds, the trees, the flowers blooming. Put your mind at ease by remembering the cycles of Nature, which are endless and renewing constantly. We are part of that Nature –
and are also renewing. Don’t lose faith in that which is timeless-your heart, soul and nature. We are all related Mitakuye Oyasin
