How lovely are the portals

of the night, when stars

come out to watch

the daylight die.

Thomas Cole

   A monkey glances up and sees a banana, and that’s as far as he looks. A visionary looks up and sees the moon.

Photography is

a love affair

with life.

Burk Uzzle

Beyond

the edge of sorrow Awaits

another tomorrow. Soft dawn finds

the quiet night, Filling shadows

with hopeful light. Steps may falter,

hearts may ache, Yet morning comes

and sleepers wake. So hold this promise,

deep and true New days bloom,

and so can you. Cloudia Charters

Oh, heart, why can't you

except live in it?

Never wish them pain.

That's not who you are.

If they cause you pain,

they must have pain inside...

...Wish them healing.

That's what they need

Tell the negative committee

that meets inside your head

to sit down and shut up.

I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
Mother Teresa

The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings.
Kakuzo Okakura

 Keep away from people

 who try to belittle

 your ambitions. 

Small people 

always do that, 

but the really great 

make you feel 

that you, too, 

can become great.

All things are difficult
before they are easy.

Not until just before dawn 

do people sleep best; 

not until people get old 

do they become wise.

             Chinese Wisdom

When you're sensitive,

you're alive in every

sense of this word in

this wildly beautiful world

 Sensitivity is your strength.

Keep soaking in the light

and spreading it to others.

   Victoria Erickson

May you hear the laughter

of children and understand it

as a song coming from the sacred.

May you feel the hugs of elders

and experience them as

encounters with angels.

North Shore of Oahu

by Mikey Price, age 10

I like the surf rolling in,

and the happy clouds.

Check out the beach at bottom

of his drawing...

This is a painting by 

Mikey's father, 

Mike Price!

This is on the wall 

in my living-room.

Mikey's is on the 

refrigerator.

Rosy Tower

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

 Life is full of beauty. 

Notice it. Notice the 

bumble bee, the small child, 

and the smiling faces. 

Smell the rain, and 

feel the wind. Live 

your life to the fullest 

potential, and fight 

for your dreams.

            Ashley Smith

I like 

the tiny bird 

in the corner

Behind the screen 

of the ordinary

can be found 

unique and

wonderful things.

  Ted Kooser

This is the back of 

the flowers partially 

visible above!

Remind me

that all of this,

every bit of it,

is for love.

Keep me fiercely kind.

     Laura Jean Truman

Some people,

no matter how old they get,

 never lose their beauty -

they merely move it

from their faces

into their hearts.

At dusk I see

A Rosy Tower, Blooming blush

In twilit hour. Rising as the

Shadows cower Above the hills,

In silent power. Landscape, dark,

O velvet sea, Tugging at

The heart of me Photograph

Of fleeting peace, Where sun and night

Dance, then release. Night wings come to flower Beneath the Rosy Tower. Branches brush

The cooling air, Whispering

Beauty everywhere. Those colors spun

From dusk and gold. No one can command,

Nor any hold.

This fleeting gift,

The day’s last hour Retreating

To her Rosy Tower. Cloudia Charters
