Softly Exclaim

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U


 The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced. Art Van Der Leeuw



Hope is the soft exclamation that survives after every shouted doubt has gone quiet.
Pixie



Weary limbs
a throne of tin
King uncrowned
pride within
He rules this realm
of thirst relief
Oasis of hydration
brief reprieve.

The city hums
a tireless beat
But here it's break time
Moment of peace
Wrinkled hands
burdens borne
Private smile
well spent morn.
      Cloudia Charters




Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

That drink vendor reminds me that some lives are more difficult and spartan than others.
