Simple Essence

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Quiet the mind
and the soul will speak.
      Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati




The essence of life is
not in the great victories
and grand failures, but
in the simple joys.
 Jonathan Lockwood Huie




When storm's intrude,
Shadows loom,  
One whisper of peace
Cuts through the gloom.  

Each challenge faced
And tempest test  
Brings silence after.
My heart is at rest.  

With every breath
The steady flame,  
Of quiet strength
Reveals its name.  
Cloudia Charters




“Life is to be enjoyed,
not simply endured.
Pleasure and goodness and joy
support the pursuit of survival.
   Willard Gaylin

  14. Life should be enjoyed and never taken for granted because anything can happen at any time. Sometimes the simple things are also the best things, good quote on that.
