Replenish

 A L O H A  From

Rest and self-care 
are so important. 
When you take time to 
replenish your spirit, it allows 
you to serve others from 
the overflow. You cannot 
serve from an empty vessel.
     Eleanor Brownn




Life should be touched, 
not strangled. 
You've got to relax, 
let it happen at times... 
    Ray Bradbury








Thanks for skies 
Immeasurably blue,  
Clouds drifting softly 
With nothing to do,  
Rivers flow 
Always free,  
A quiet hymn
Called: Simply BE.  

The sparrow doesn't
Sing tomorrow,  
Needs no plans
Or borrowed sorrow.  
The song is now
Wings are here 
Let blessed joy
Sing pure and clear.  

So sketch your plans
Upon the shore;  
Where waves erase them
In perfect candor.
Walk barefoot
Where this earth is kind,  
Tonic for the busy mind.  

A breath, a laugh,
The sky so wide  
These gifts await
When worries subside.

   Cloudia Charters 




Almost everything 
will work again if 
you unplug it 
for a few minutes, 
including you.

simple thing in a difficult way;
