No One

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

No one is useless
 in this world 
who lightens the
 burden of it
 for anyone else.
     Charles Dickens





 Just when you 
think it's over,
a new way opens
and joy can return. 

Nothing is final 
in heaven 
but in a 
continual state 
of becoming.
            Cloudia Charters





When you are 
not sure, 
flip a coin 
because while
the coin is 
in the air, 
you realize 
which one 
you are actually 
hoping for.
        Jay Shetty




There is not anything in the world stronger than tenderness. Han Suyin

Love You,
Cloudia & Pixie

ෂ



If you love 
the sacred 
and despise 
the ordinary
you are still 
bobbing in the 
sea of illusion.

    Pixie looks like she is filled with tenderness. Those dumplings look delicious.

    Pixie is definitely strong and tender. Pan-fried dumplings and shave ice! You make me want a midnight snack!! Love the shot of your shadow finding a new way through.

    I like the line about flipping a coin. It has a ring of truth to it.
