Half Our Mistakes


 A L O H A

From

Honolulu


Growing up doesn't mean 
that you are older 
than someone, it means 
that you are no longer 
an amateur. 
           Michael Bassey Johnson








Half of our mistakes in life
 arises from feeling
 where we ought to
 think,
and thinking 
where we ought to 
feel. 
 John Churton Collins








An ounce of loyalty 

is worth a

pound of cleverness.

Elbert Green Hubbard

Sometimes 
the heart sees 
what is invisible
 to the eye.

Oh For The Gate

 

 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

When the hornet 

hangs in the hollyhock,

And the brown bee 

drones in the rose,

And the west is a red-streaked 

four-o'clock,

And summer is near its close,

It's, Oh!, For the gate, 

and the locust lane;

And dusk, and dew, 

and home again!

  Madison Cawein




 Remember that everyone
you meet is afraid of
something, loves something
and has lost something. H. Jackson Brown

Grow It Underfoot


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

The darkest night is often the bridge to the brightest tomorrow. Jonathan L. Huie



Crown Flower, Pua Kalaunu

If you find it in your heart

to care for somebody else, 

you will have succeeded.

The foolish seek happiness
in the distance;
the wise grows it
underfoot.

Still It Holds


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

What you leave behind

is not what is engraved

in stone monuments, but

what is woven into

the lives of others.

Pericles


Polynesian woven pouch

The pouch is not large.

Its weave has loosened

where the years 

have pulled.

Still, it holds.



Weave beautifully

your small thread in

the grand tapestry.

Field of Play


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


Angels descending, 
bring from above, 
echoes of mercy, 
whispers of love.
       Fanny J. Crosby



Little minds are tamed
and subdued by
misfortune; but
great minds
rise above them.
Washington Irving





Field of Play
by Cloudia Charters


A small child
in a big field—
so much grass,
so much sky,
so much room
to be alive.


She runs
without knowing
where running goes.
Stopping
to meet a bug,
a cloud,
a flower.
Each one
a whole world
of wonders.


I remember being small
before I knew
the names of things.
I hope the world
is gentle with her.
I hope she keeps
the way of seeing:
that life is wide,
wonder is enough,
and play
is how we learn
to belong.




Kindness is a power 
we all have. 
We just have to 
decide to use it. 
      Mo Rocca
