Softer Truths In Lighter Air

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Calm minds bring
 inner peace and 
self-confidence, 
so that’s very important 
for good health.
   Dalai Lama




Green is 
the fresh emblem of 
well-founded hopes.
John Paul Caponigro




Perennial Yellow Day-lily
Color is the
 place where our brain 
and the universe meet.
   Paul Klee






We who live at the edge 
Where the veil of illusion thins,  
Breathe the worlds
Softer truths  
In lighter air
And the view is vast.

Go, brave ones,  
Plunge into the depths,  
Unravel the layers,  
Drink the marrow of mysteries.  
We cheer you.

But when the weight
Grows heavy,  
When the maze never ends
Return.  
We will meet you here 
At the edge,  
Where stillness awaits.
   Cloudia Charters

  6. Our daylilies are pushing up out of the ground for another year of blooming. They are in a very difficult spot, but they keep on keeping on.
