Three Tree

A L O H A
From
Honolulu

Happiness can grow 

from only a little contentment.

Pygmy Proverb

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Every day, begin the task anew. Francis de Sales

The most important things are really very simple.

But it takes a lifetime

to get simple enough

to understand them. Confucius.

Love You,

Tree, tree, tree

and a little

something more,

a shadow that wasn’t

there before.

Tree, tree, tree,

toe and eye,

a small green guest

we pass right by.

Tree, tree, tree,
No longer slight—
a gecko, framed
in morning light.

Every Word You Think

A L O H A

From

Honolulu

Your body listens
to every word you think,
the quiet witness,
So faithful and true.
Really your oldest friend.

So do speak softly within.
Let your thoughts
be kind.
Tell your body:
you are safe,
we are healing,
you are a gift to me.

Rest without guilt,
and breathe.
Each inhale
is a promise fulfilled.

Kindness
spoken inward
Is the best medicine.
Because your body

believes you.
Cloudia Charters

Wherever you go,

no matter
what the weather,
always bring
your own sunshine.
Anthony J. D'Angelo

Not only is there a right
to be happy,
there is a duty to be happy.
So much sadness exists
in the world that we are all
under obligation to contribute
as much joy as lies
within our powers.
John S. Bonnell

Golden School

A L O H A

From

Honolulu

Kindness, resilience and the quiet courage to lift others up, form the gentle rhythm that carries a life well lived. Roentare

School of Goldfish

all the same—

this way, that way

endlessly fascinating!

Not one leads,

none lag behind;

a single thought

they turn as one.

And in their circling

I see us:

how we move together

how we find our way

by following the turn

of someone we trust.

Goldfish don’t need a plan—

they have each other,

and in that simple truth

swims something deep:

we are never lost

when we move

together as one.

Pixie

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what

you now have was once among the things

you only hoped for. Epicurus

Morning light
my gentle friend,
Warm my skin
night's at it's end

Thank you, light,
for waking me,
To all the joy
the day will be.

Relevant In Kind Tones

A L O H A

From

Honolulu

If you see the world
in black and white,
you're missing important
grey matter.
Jack Fyock

Bihai Heliconia

Most of the shadows
of this life are caused
by our standing in
one's own sunshine.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

The need to be right
is the sign of
a vulgar mind.

I make the most
of all that comes
and the least
of all that goes.

Staying relevant and

speaking in kind tones is by far,

the best way to make your point.

The moment you lose track,

throwing out a negative comment

you’ve lost your way. . .

Uncommon

A L O H A

From

Honolulu

It is beautiful to talk
about beautiful things and
even more beautiful to
silently gaze at them.
Dejan Stojanovic

Common sunflower (Helianthus annuus)

a large annual in the daisy family, grown for edible seeds—oilseed varieties for vegetable oil and feed, and confectionary types for snacks and baking—along with ornamental garden cultivars.

A sunflower field is like a sky

with a thousand suns.

Corina Abdulahmnegura

Be a sunflower

in a field of roses;

stand tall, radiate positivity and

embrace your uniqueness!
