Pacific Embrace

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Orange bleeds a fiery sigh,
Stately clouds sailing a tonic sky.
High blue bleeds to orange crush,
Stars peek shy and never rush

Lullaby of silent crash,
Peace descends.
Calming splash!




Agapanthus Africanus,
 The African Lily
or Lily-of-the-Nile



We'll mend the cracks
We'll light the way,
Stay calm and kind
Come what may. 

Bridges built
on simple things,
A smile shares hope
and comfort brings.

In every greeting
kind and warm,
Respect is power 
Against all storms.

Let knowledge flow
a gentle stream,
From every voice,
a waking dream.
    Cloudia Charters 





I believe that if you don't 
derive a deep sense of purpose 
from what you do, if you don't come 
radiantly alive several times a day, 
if you don't feel deeply grateful at 
the tremendous good fortune that 
has been bestowed on you, then 
you are wasting your life. 
And life is too short to waste.
            Srikumar Rao

    Let knowledge flow

    From every voice,
    a waking dream.

    The imagery of the sunset is stunning, and the message of hope and kindness in the second part is truly inspiring. Love the African Lily
    too!

    Every time I see the sunset over water, I expect to hear a sizzle as it sinks. Silly, I know. You and Pixie have a great weekend.
