Flowers In Gentleness

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Life,
what an exquisite privilege. Katie Rubinstein

 
It takes courage to be kind. Maya Angelou


Ipomoea triloba, 
Commonly: 
Littlebell or Aiea morning glory
I am awaiting a great
Renaissance of kindness,
When love will bloom
Like flowers in gentleness.

When hearts will open
wide and true,
Embracing all
With compassion anew.

In a dawn 
Of gentle grace,
Forgiveness flowing
A warm embrace.

With every breath
A new world will arise,
Where kindness reigns
And souls recognize
The beauty of our shared
Humanity that shines,
Radiant tapestry
Of hearts and minds.
Cloudia Charters



Playfulness and delight 
can lead to 
unexpected insights.

  7. When first meeting a new neighbor, and admiring her many plants, I said "It's good to see you also love life." I meant natural beauty, but she certainly understood that life is the force behind it.
