Hearts Brave For Open Water

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
Every positive thought 
is a silent prayer
which will 
change your life.
        Bryant McGill


In a world like ours,
all we’ve got to be is
the warmth of
the morning sun.
Michael Bassey Johnson



A voyage at sunrise 
Is a story unwritten. 
Each moment breathes
  Possibility.

The dawn knows not 
What the day will bring, 
But set out in hope 
Regardless.

Begin with the courage 
To greet the first light.
All paths then
Are open.

At the silent hour 
 brave souls 
launch their boats 
seeking unknown lands.

Set forth at dawn; 
when the world is hushed, 
the heart is hopeful, and 
adventure beckons anew.

Dawn is a summons 
for wanderers.
Choose to move 
toward light.
  Cloudia Charters





I like nonsense;
 it wakes up 
the brain cells. 
Dr. Seuss

This "Sign" is a "cuốn thư," a decorative scroll-like object often found in Vietnamese and Chinese cultures. Typically used for decoration, they can be found in places like temples, ancestral altars, and homes. 
The characters on the scroll ("Phúc Lộc Thọ,")  represent the three gods of good fortune, prosperity, and longevity.

  3. I am reminded how many fishing boats set out near (before?) dawn. They somehow know where to go and come home with a full load. I'm grateful to them. Have a great day!
