Reaching Out

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu


Some beautiful paths 
can’t be discovered 
without getting lost.
Erol Ozan




A well-ordered life
is like climbing a tower;
the view halfway up
is better than the
view from the base,
and it steadily becomes
finer as the
horizon expands.
William Lyon Phelps



Shell Ginger
Alpinia zerumbet

A flower blossoms
for its own joy.
Oscar Wilde



There's calm in each 
and every day, we 
just need to practice 
reaching out for it.

There are no wrong turnings.

Only paths we had not known

we were meant to walk.

Between Dreams


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

A person is a success if
they get up in the morning
and get to bed at night
and in between does
what he wants to do.
Bob Dylan

The moon is alive because of the darkness - how could we ever be afraid of something that gives the stars a home? Laura Chouette

I get up every morning and 

it's going to be a great day. 

You never know when 

it's going to be over so 

I refuse to have a bad day.

           Paul Henderson




Between Dreams:

Life's endings and beginnings
by Cloudia Charters

The old dream
has gone quiet.
The new one
has no name.

I stand where they
do not meet
and find the distance empty
of everything but pain.

But rain rests here
before it falls.
A seed lies still
before it grows tall.

Perhaps I do not
have to start
with hope
or even light.

Just for today
I only need
to leave my
front door ajar
to let the morning
alight.

Half Of Our Mistakes


 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

Every year of my life 

I grow more convinced that it

is wisest and best 

to fix our attention 

on the beautiful 

and good and dwell 

as little as possible on 

               the dark and the base.          

         Richard Cecil  



The way we choose
to see the world 
creates the
world we see. 
Barry Neil Kaufman






Never say there is 
nothing beautiful in
 the world anymore. 
There is always something 
to make you wonder 
in the shape of a tree, 
the trembling of a leaf.
                Albert Schweitzer




Half of our mistakes in life

 arises from feeling

 where we ought to

 think,

and thinking 

where we ought to 

feel. 

John Churton Collins

Carrying All Along


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

We are born to kiss the stars and dance with the Moon. Avijeet Das



A sweet drink 

is a primal joy

known to every 

girl and boy.


A sip of sun 

brightens the day.

Ice clinks percussion

as hurry melts away.

Cloudia 




In daylight

 this door looks tired,

paint worn thin,

but welcoming still.


Walking 

down the sidewalk,

I wonder who goes in,

what music waits inside.

One neon evening,

we might stop in

and join the fun!

Pixie




On a bad day, I have mood swings - but on a good day, I have the whole mood playground Charles Rosenblum

The purpose of ageing

was to grow into your soul,

the one you have been

carrying all along.

Nineteenth Century Industries Of Hawaii


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

People talk about
entering nirvana, but
we are already there.
Thich Nhat Hanh







I have seen 

a thousand moons: 

harvest moons 

like gold coins, 

winter moons as 

white as ice chips, 

new moons like 

baby swans' feathers.

Gerald Malcolm Durrell






There are more planets 
than grains of sand 
on the Earth.







A man and a hologram 
walk into a bar.  
The bartender says, 
“Sorry, we don’t serve your kind.” 
The hologram says, 
“That’s okay. 
I'm not really here."

Love,
Pixie & Cloudia
