Branches

A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu
Worrying does not take 

away tomorrow's troubles. 

It takes away today's peace. 

           Randy Armstrong




If what I say 
resonates with you, 
it is merely because we 
are both branches 
on the same tree.
             W. B. Yeats

On the morning air they drift—
tiny worlds of light and breath—
bubbles gleaming on the street,
quiet miracles out of thin air.

Morning breath made visible,
laughter of light in motion.
tiny moons of soap and sun
bubbles bloom and vanish.

Floating through traffic
From nowhere they appear
soft glories of pause,
asking nothing but to shine.
Cloudia Charters





Only through emotions 

can you encounter 

the force field of your soul.

Any fool can criticize, 
condemn, and complain 
but it takes character 
and self-control to be 
understanding & forgiving.

Of Value

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

I have always believed, and

I still believe, that whatever good

or bad fortune 

may come our way

we can always give it meaning 

and transform it into 

something of value.

         Hermann Hesse







Thank you, sun,

for waking me—

with light and hope,

setting shadows free.

A grateful heart

I offer thee,

for this bright gift—

O happily!





You don’t have to cross

rivers under fire,

or chase the sound of

sirens in the dark.


Bless those who do—

and bless those too

who carry quiet light,

keeping good alive,

Who shine it softly

through all they do!

Pixie


Those who bring sunshine 

to the lives of others cannot 

keep it from themselves.     

James Matthew Barrie

Calm In Each Day

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
God puts rainbows in the clouds 
so that each of us - in the dreariest 
and most dreaded moments - 
can see a possibility of hope.     
      Maya Angelou


Never be haughty 
to the humble  or 
humble to the haughty.  
Jefferson Davis




Out of your vulnerabilities 
will come your strength.

There's calm in each 
and every day, we 
just need to practice 
reaching out for it.

How You Do It

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U
There are two things 
a person should never 
be angry at, what 
they can help, and 
what they cannot.
      Plato




Kindness is the sunshine 
in which virtue grows.
        Robert Green Ingersoll


Your mission on this earth is 2% WHAT you do, 98% HOW YOU DO IT.


What matters is
that we let our lives
be guided by Love.

Brave And Beautifully Imperfect

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

If you do 

good things for people, 

it will never stop

 making you feel 

good about yourself.

                         David Letterman





Humility is just the ability or the willingness to learn. Charlie Sheen




God's extraordinary work 
is most often done 
by ordinary people 
in the seeming obscurity 
of a home and family. "
                      Neal A. Maxwell




I have studied 
many philosophers
and many cats. The
wisdom of cats is
infinitely superior. 
    Hippolyte Taine

Monday Murals

As the lunar New year approaches 

and the lion waits 
behind the curtain, 
I remember: renewal is 
noisy, brave, and 
beautifully imperfect.

Let the old year carry away 
what no longer serves you, 
so the new year finds you 
light and unburdened.

Standing at the gate 
of the lunar year, 
I bow to what has been, 
and open both hands 
to what may come.

Formula

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U


Every positive thought 
is a silent prayer
which will 
change your life.
     Bryant McGill








 The snow goose 
need not bathe 
to make itself white. 
Neither need you 
do anything 
but be yourself.
            Lao Tzu







There is no formula for success except, perhaps, an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings. Arthur Rubinstein 




We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. Dale Carnegie
