Shine Three

 A L O H A  From

H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U


Follow your bliss
 and the universe 
will open doors
 for you where there 
were only walls.
 Joseph Campbell




3 Ages, Three Stages

Girl 
The morning dew, 
Soft and bright,  
A butterfly dances 
In golden light.  
Laughter spills 
Like a bubbling stream,  
Life unfolds as 
A waking dream.

Woman
Midday sun, 
Steady and strong,  
Paths Multiply, 
Some short, some long.  
Mountains rise
 Rivers wind,  
Learning truths 
Both harsh and kind.

Wise Elder 
Early evening moon,
Serene and near,  
Whispers of wisdom 
Lingering clear.  
Leaves fall gently 
at twilight’s glow,  
In quiet peace 
Let the seasons flow.  

Like the lotus rising 
From mud to me  
Each stage blooms
In its own beauty.
Cloudia Charters





Other people look small
and inconsequential when
your focus is all on yourself. Cloudia Charters

What they hate in you
is missing in them.
Keep shining.

Mind Lift

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U
This is not a
left or right moment.
It is a
right or wrong
moment. Cory Booker
         US Senator



Plumeria 
Now shall I walk
Or shall I ride? “Ride,” Pleasure said. “Walk,” Joy replied. W.H. Davies 



Judgments prevent us
from seeing the good that lies
beyond appearances. Wayne Dyer




An inexhaustible good nature 
is one of the most 
precious gifts of heaven, 
spreading itself like oil 
over the troubled sea 
of thought, and keeping 
the mind smooth and equable
in the roughest weather.
    Washington Irving 






When it comes to
staying young,
a mind-lift beats
a face-lift any day. Marty Bucella

saying that you
and the world
have a chance.

the promise of the future.

Just in what they are.
