Unchallenged Thought

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
The real voyage of discovery
consists not in 
seeking new landscapes
but in having new eyes.
  Proust




We are here to 
help each other 
get through this thing,
whatever it is.
Kurt Vonnegut





The unchallenged thought
Is a closed, dim room,  
Airless as midnight
A monotonous tune.  

Open a window 
— Questions bloom —  
Wind takes the walls
Leaving sky and a moon.  

What good is a mirror
That will not break?  
What good is an answer
That never aches?  

Unlearn the shape
That the silence made,  
let doubt carve rivers
Through the mind’s parade.  

Every bright star
Turns to ash in the day;  
It's the burning Now
that ever lights my way.  
Cloudia Charters 


Like all great travelers, I have seen more
than I remember, and remember more
than I have seen. Benjamin Disraeli

Back-Lit Glass!  At San Rafael Joe's
People are like 
stained-glass windows. 
They sparkle and shine 
when the sun is out, but 
when the darkness sets in, 
their true beauty is revealed only 
if there is a light from within.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
