Stillness Reflects

 A L O H A  From  
H O N O L U L U

We are here to 

help each other get 

through this thing,

whatever it is.

Kurt Vonnegut

Stillness reflects 

Shadows of my past

Regret is a soft soaking rain.  

Visiting unasked.

Each drop insight  

Roots of change within,  

Blossoms rise from pain. 

Souvenirs of who I've been. 

 

Surrendering I breathe,  

Wisdom in silence grows,  

Karma's dance unfolds.

And what emerges consoles.

              Cloudia Charters

True silence is the rest of the mind. And it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body - nourishment and refreshment. William Penn

Hope is much more than

wishful thinking.

Hope is a way of moving

through the world. Justine Musk

The Number One Skill In Life

 A L O H A  From  
H O N O L U L U

Hope smiles

from the threshold

of the year to come,

Whispering 'it will be happier.'

Ring out the old,

ring in the new,

Ring out the false,

ring in the true.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850

A happy New Year!
Grant that I
May bring no tear
to any eye.

When this New Year

in time shall end
Let it be said

I've played the friend,

Have lived and loved

and labored here,
And made of it

a happy year.
Edgar Guest

Self-assured, 
Your peaceful heart
Gentle charm
A work of art.

Self-assured and peaceful

Calming sight,

Others feel at ease
In your gentle light.

Fresh Magic

 A L O H A  From

The magic in

new beginnings is

truly the most powerful

of them all.

Josiyah Martin

The secret of change

is to focus all of your energy,

not on fighting the old, but

on building the new.

Socrates

Be always at war

with your vices, at

peace with your neighbors,

and let each year find

you a better person.

Benjamin Franklin

You don't need to see

the entire staircase,

just take the initial step.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Kindness, kindness, kindness.

I want to make a

New Year's prayer,

not a resolution...
