Style Endures

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
We must let go 
of the life we 
have planned, so 
as to accept the one 
that is waiting for us.
   Joseph Campbell




Fashion changes, 
but style endures.
 Coco Chanel




 The Ant
Hulu is small,
but the earth 
knows his weight.
He carries mountains
one crumb at a time.
No hurry - no worry
one thing at a time.

When winds 
bend the grass,
he walks through it 
as a marvelous forest.
Always finding
the way home.
Cloudia Charters





The world stands aside
to let anyone pass
who knows
where she is going.
       David Starr Jordan

  2. The poem is wonderful, and the image of Hulu carrying mountains one crumb at a time is so powerful. Beautiful photos from Honolulu!

  12. Great poem about ants, Cloudia. Pixie is secretly laughing at the hound-dog style. It is not for regal felines, although those "pups" look fine for drooling dogs. (As in the great Sassy quote from Homeward Bound: "Cats rule, dogs drool.)

  16. Karen and Richard Carpenter were constantly playing in my world so many lovely songs and many felt like they were written for me. As for knowing where I'm going, I find like yesterday beginning in one spot and just seeing where I land is the wonderful journey for me! Aloha to you and Pixie too!
