All My Secrets

  A  L  O  H  A 

From
Honolulu

Sun sighs to the sea
Mediating
 Day and dream.

In this hush,
Even time sits still
Listening 
To its own heart.
   Cloudia Charters





A handful of patience is 
worth more than 
a bushel of brains.
Dutch Proverb









The Sun watches 
what I do, but 
the Moon knows 
all my secrets.
J. M. Wonderland






A Moment to Myself

By water’s edge, 
I find my grace,
No task, no hurry, 
just this place.

The ripples speak 
in tender tones,
As calmness seeps 
into my bones.
Pixie

Lit Path

A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
Life is not always perfect. Like a road, it has many bends, ups and down, but that’s its beauty. Amit Ray



The Small Indian Mongoose (Herpestes javanicus), a native of Asia, was introduced to Hawai'i in 1883. Wikipedia


Mongooses symbolize fearlessness in Indian tales, embodying curiosity over caution.


Walk into the unknown 
with what you know 
in your heart.

Ten More Years Of Life

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Kindness is more important 
than wisdom, and the 
recognition of this is the 
beginning of wisdom.
 Theodore Isaac Rubin




A smile will gain you
ten more years of life.
  Chinese Proverb





It is by believing 
in roses that 
one brings them 
to bloom.
Anatole France




How many slams 

in an old screen door? 

Depends how loud you shut it. 


How many slices in a bread? 

Depends how thin you cut it. 


How much good inside a day? 

Depends how good 

you live ’em. 


How much love 

inside a friend? 

Depends how much 

you give ’em.

 Shel Silverstein

One of life's 
most fulfilling moments 
occurs in the split-second 
when the familiar is suddenly 
transformed into the 
dazzling aura of the 
profoundly new.

Sun Touch

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

The sun just touched
the morning;
the morning, happy thing,
supposed that he had
come to dwell, and
life would all be spring.
Emily Dickinson


We don’t realize how 
deeply we crave calm 
until the world stops roaring 
and we can again hear 
the birds and 
our own heartbeat.





Such mornings remind us 
that endurance has beauty — 
that peace is not 
absence of storms but 
the quiet that follows.






Dare to be privately
happy my dear, sing to the silence, joy will appear. Close your door, till daylight bends, and have a small feast with invisible friends. Let candles wink at your secret delight, a quiet rebellion dressed in light. No need to boast, conceal the tune your heart may waltz with the hidden moon.
Cloudia Charters

Dancing On The Moon

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
You are the sky.
 Everything else – 
is just the weather. 
     Pema Chödrön





It's easy to feel fragmented,
but you’re carefully cut pieces,
arranged to reflect
joy in every direction—
just like a disco ball!


Never underestimate the significance of the little things done out of a large heart of love. Elizabeth George

Go easy, friend the wind will slow, the path will clear the way will show. Do what you can rest when you must; move with the day keeping your trust. Steady breath A mindful start. Cool your head but warm your heart.

When Love Shines Through

  A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
Through the blackest night,
morning gently tiptoes, feeling its way to dawn. Robert Brault



A warm smile is the universal language of kindness. William Arthur Ward



Greatness comes by
doing a few small and
smart things each
and every day.
Comes from taking little steps, consistently. So that a day
eventually arrives when
all that's left is
The Extraordinary.
Robin S. Sharma




There is just this moment.
We are not trying to
improve or to get
anywhere else. Jon Kabat-Zinn






When hands reach through 

the shadowed air,  

A spark is born, 

a silent prayer.  

The heart remembers 

what it knew—  

Then light returns 

when love 

shines through.  

Pixie
