A L O H A From Honolulu!
What sunshine is to flowers,
smiles are to humanity.
These are but trifles, to be sure;
but scattered along life's pathway,
the good they do is inconceivable.
Joseph Addison
Staying kind, calm, and
keeping an open mind
are radical acts today!
Petals soft as satin sighs,
Plumeria twirls down from the skies,
To paint the grass like colored snow,
Springtime blooms in gentle glow.
Nature's art this fragrant sea
Sweet perfume to the trade wind's glee.
This lawn of blooms a tropic grace,
Touches of heaven in this place.
Carpet soft, a fragrant bed,
Spring time's whispers gently spread.
Cloudia Charters
When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it's bottomless, that it doesn't have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.
Pema Chodron
Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything
George Bernard Shaw,
A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, knows something.
