If You Wish To Know: Feel

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If you wish to know the divine, feel the wind on your face and the warm sun on your back.
Eido Tai Shimano Roshi





The Holy Land is everywhere.
Black Elk

Taking an image, 
freezing a moment, reveals 
how rich reality is.

Emotions flicker
like fireflies at night,
A fleeting dance
In shifting light.

Personal Life Deeply Lived

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Please let us rise
With hearts aflame,
To conquer morning's
anxious claim.

May wisdom's dawning
pierce the gloom,
Conquering fear
That we may bloom.
    Cloudia Charters 



When you give someone kuleana,
it awakens their mana.
Twinkle Borges

Kuleana in the
Hawaiian language, means
a serious responsibility.

Mana is deep spiritual inner power
within ourselves, and in nature.



You’ll be calm the day you learn
to sit alone and do nothing.
Maxime LagacΓ©


The most beautiful experience we can have is the Mysterious – the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science.
Albert Einstein



The personal life deeply
lived always expands into
truths beyond itself.
   Anais Nin

Tribute to a wonderful person who touched so many, from the streets to the governor's suite.
She accomplished MUCH simply, and
shared in a way that built community.

Cherish Now The Fleeting Scene

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You can't go home again they say,  
For time has washed
the past away.  
Like rivers flowing
ever new,  
The world of then
Is gone from view.  



The river's course
Is never still,  
It bends and turns
At its own will.  
We gather years
Like autumn leaves,  
In memories
Our heart believes.  

Each step we take
A moment's grace,  
In time's embrace
We find our place.  
Though rivers change
And photos fade,  
In dreams, the past
Is gently laid.  




So cherish now
The fleeting scene,  
For in its flow
Life's essence gleams. 
Though you can't go home
again, it's true,  
The river's song
still sings for you.
Cloudia Charters




Whoever walks with the wise 
will become wise, but 
the companion of fools 
suffers harm.
   Solomon

Happiness and freedom 
begin with one 
principle. 
Some things are 
within your control 
and some are not.
