Softly Subtle Considerations

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Dawn breaks bright, Made it through the night. Each choice can be
a hopeful start, To mend your soul
and heal our hearts. Though shadows linger
light will mend, Calm spirits make
a faithful friend. Embrace the day
no need to be bold, Your story's written
just as yet untold. So step outside,
let worries cease, Accept the air
with sweet release. In each step
may your strength
be renewed, You've made your
path of purpose,
That's beautifully understood.
Cloudia Charters


Between stimulus and response,
there is space. In that space is
our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth
and our freedom.
        Viktor E. Frankl




Cacophonies

Of clashing views,
Always miss
The subtle hues.

Truth, I've found,
hates extremes,
Always present,
But softly gleams.
Pixie







Elections belong to the people.
It's their decision, if they
decide to turn their back
on the fire
and burn their behinds,
then they will just have to
sit on their blisters.
Abraham Lincoln

  5. If we can pause between stimulus and response, it is a good thing. I have trouble doing that.
