One Canoe


 A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Those who dwell

among the beauties

and mysteries of the earth are

never alone or

weary of life. Rachel Carson




One canoe

beneath the sun, a thousand paddles

rise as one. No shore beyond us

when we row with hope made real

in seeds we sow. We’ve quarreled long

and circled wide; tonight, we greet

a turning tide. Let joy be bread,

let promise mend— and none be left

behind again.

Cloudia Charters



You can’t go wrong with the use of red; every painting should have red in it. George De Groat




The point of living and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come. Peter Ustinov
