Peace Breathes - Day's Begun

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Simple isn't empty
Simply: it's enough. One cup, one sun,
Slowly day has begun.

Clear desk, still mind,
Leave those extra
thoughts behind.
Open hands,
wide sky,
quiet minutes
drifting by.

Less to chase,
less undone—
peace breathes.
Day has begun.
Cloudia Charters



The less you know, 
the more you 
think you know.
Ray Stevens





I have a memory like an elephant. I remember every elephant I’ve ever met. Herb Caen






There’s no need
to be perfect to inspire others. Let people get inspired by how you deal with your imperfections. Ziad K. Abdelnour

I love your poem today and the advice from the Beatles. Does Pixie listen to the Beatles? Is that how she became such a great guru?

Oh, I wish I could do simple. But I have to do "public transport" which is all but...
And yes. The imperfect lecturer inspired me this week!
I try to follow The Beatles...

Stunning sky scene that matches your profound yet simple words: "Open hands,
wide sky, quiet minutes drifting by".
