Campfire

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Autumn brings a longing 

to get away from the 

unreal things of life, out 

into the forest at 

night with a campfire 

and the rustling leaves.

                  Margaret Sangster

Take heart. 

If you are alive today,

You are a warrior 

of the soul. 

After a while, 

whoever you are, 

you just have 

to let go, and the 

river brings 

you home.

        Joanne Harris

Away from the tumult 

of motor and mill

I want to be care-free; 

I want to be still!

 

 I'm weary of doing things; 

weary of words

I want to be one 

with the blossoms

and birds.

      Edgar A. Guest

A L O H A  From

Stand tall, 

Proud, and bright,

Be a beacon 

To the night.

Head held high 

Please always be

The change we want 

And need to see.

If you do not see light 

at the end of the tunnel, 

consider it an opportunity 

to create an opening 

yourself, wherever 

you want.

The way to mend

the bad world is to

Remember,

the best way to resist darkness is to shine your own light. Be the kindness that defies negativity. Mattie Stepanek

It is strange that 

the years teach 

us patience;

that the shorter 

our time,

the greater our 

capacity for waiting.

Of This Moment

 A L O H A  From

Creator, bless my eyes

that I may see with love.

Bless my mouth that

I may speak with love.

Bless my heart that

I may give and

receive love.

Bless my hands that

all I touch feels loved.

against a fool determined
to believe a lie.

And once the storm is over, 

you won't remember how 

you made it through, 

how you managed 

to survive. 

You won't even be sure, 

whether the storm 

is really over. But 

one thing is certain. 

When you come out 

of the storm, 

you won't be the same 

person who walked in.

 Haruki Murakami

Ataraxia

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

When the wind
forgets to hurry
so does the heart.

Untroubled leaves
can rest
where they fall—
nothing to resist.

Peace is not won,
only remembered,
like finding calm water
in the middle

of the storm.

Cloudia Charters

The tree can whisper
with the clouds only if
its roots go very deep
into the earth.

Hope is being able
to see that there is
light despite all of
the darkness.

To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer

to the universe. Eckhart Tolle

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

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.

Bird's Song

 A L O H A  From

You see 

in the world

 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The only person 

you are destined to 

become is the person 

you decide to be.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who do not. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down

is a part of life, getting back up

is living. José N. Harris

Trust that whatever

you are dealing with,

whatever doorway to crisis

you experience, it is leading

you to a greater lesson in living

where ideally the power

of love is what you learn.

Forgive, and broadcast your

excitement to be alive.
