Even Sin A Little

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U


Be patient where 
you sit in the dark.
The dawn is coming.
       Rumi




The world is new to us 
every morning 
- this is God's gift; 
and everyone should believe 
they are reborn each day.     
Baal Shem Tov






Whenever the devil 
harasses you, 
seek the company of people
 or drink more, 
or joke and talk nonsense, 
or do some other merry thing. 
Sometimes we must drink more, 
sport, recreate ourselves, 
and even sin a little 
to spite the devil.
                       Martin Luther




There is one spectacle 
grander than the sea,
that is the sky;
there is one spectacle 
grander than the sky,
that is the interior 
of the soul
Victor Hugo




What sunshine is to flowers, 
smiles are to humanity. 
These are but trifles, 
to be sure; but scattered 
along life's pathway, 
the good they do 
is inconceivable.
     Joseph Addison

Secrets of Aloha

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

'MORNING'

 Each morning offers 
lessons in light. 
For the morning light 
teaches the most 
basic of truths: 
Light chases away darkness.
  Anasazi Foundation





Inside myself is a place
where I live all alone,
 and that's where I renew
my springs that
never dry up. 
      Pearl S. Buck




Life is simply a mix 
of mayhem and magnolia
so embrace the gentle riot, 
and gather flowers 
along the way.
  Kat Savage



In the islands
Where sunsets glow,
Aloha whispers secrets, 
In the Trade Winds that blow.

Gentle reminders
To just "Let be"
To value peace and 
Respect harmony.

Like ocean waves
We ebb and flow,
Embracing moments
Our confidence grows.

Rising gently to
Touch the shore,
Aloha teaches tenderly
Just love all the more.

In this wisdom
We find our way,
To carry peace
Through every day.

Capable Critter

little self-reflection

reality blind spot.

How like a Queen
comes forth
the lonely Moon
From the slow-opening
curtains of the clouds,
Walking in beauty
to her midnight throne!...

Elegance is 
a glowing inner peace.
Grace is an ability to give
as well as to receive
and be thankful.

Mystery is a hidden laugh
always ready to surface!

Glamour only radiates if
there is a sublime
courage & bravery within

Woman and men of 
retiring timidity are cowardly 
only in dangers which 
affect themselves, but the 
first to rescue when 
others are in danger.

Twin Skies Twin Hearts

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U


Twin skies mirror
Our twin hearts,  
Reflecting a love
That never departs.  

In harmony
We soar! We glide!
Two souls, one hope,
On the open tide.

Dreams full of pride.   
Twin currents to guide.
Together as one
We join this sweet ride.
Cloudia Charters







Make me a candle

of comfort in this world.
Make me burn
with peace.

It was only a sunny smile,

but like morning light
it scattered the night and
made the day worth living.

Feel The Heal

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

The beautiful spring came,
and when Nature resumes
her loveliness, the human soul
is apt to revive also. Harriet Ann Jacobs



Just being here now and
enjoying what actually is
in this moment…
without a goal or
desired outcome…
that, my friends,
is everything. Naked Pastor
On regaining his sense
of taste and smell.



Kindness expands the light
within us and reaches out to
touch the light in others as well.
attributed to Wayne W. Dyer.



If the only way to
make yourself happy is by doing something silly, do it.
Sometimes people are terribly distressed but
have no one to whom they can
unburden themselves. If you come along
with a happy face, you cheer them and
give them new life. Always wear a smile. The gift of life will then
be yours to give. Nachman of Breslov

There are dark shadows
on the Earth; but
its lights are stronger

Meditations In Nighttime

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U


Transforming Night
Paints everything essential
With qualities of darkness.
Time pools in corners
Where day never comes.



Secrets
speak in
falling leaves.




Between streetlight
and shadow
Truth shifts
Like water.





My understanding 
softly glows

Like moonlight 

on a gentle rose





Each generation
in this country gets the
responsibility of being the
ambassadors for this
American democracy that
our parents and grandparents
fought, bled, and died for. Sheldon Whitehouse



All the world
is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust. J.M. Barrie
