Think Say Want and Do

 A L O H A  From

Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want, and do. Emanuel Swedenborg

I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable…but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

Agatha Christie

Vision is the art of seeing

what is invisible to others.

   Jonathan Swift

Say what you mean,

But don't say it mean.

   Andrew Wachter

Today I bent the truth to

be kind, and I have no regret,

for I am far surer of

what is kind than I

am of what is true.

Robert Brault

Few people know how to take a walk. 

The qualifications are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast curiosity, good speech, good silence, and nothing too much.

In the space

Between heartbeats, My cup rests Not full nor empty- Simply holding What it holds. Clouds drift by

unconcerned Free of shape

or purpose, Simply content

to be passing.

The hardest thing to learn in life is which bridge to cross and which to burn.

Crinum is a genus of about 180 species of perennial plants that have large showy flowers on leafless stems, and develop from bulbs. They are found in seasonally moist areas, including marshes, swamps, depressions and along the sides of streams and lakes in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide.

Not to be absolutely certain is, I think, one of the essential things in rationality. Bertrand Russell

Flower Clearly

 A L O H A  From

 In the all-too-brief time we’re on the planet, we need to pack it with all the joy, beauty, and goodness we can, and that’s true even when conditions are difficult perhaps even more so.

John Pavlovitz

 

Get a bicycle. You will certainly

not regret it, if you live. Mark Twain

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly our whole life would change.

You are the poem 

I never knew how to write 

and this life is the story 

I have always wanted to tell.

Good night

May you dream 

of lovely things and 

wake to find them real.

May you fall asleep in peace 

and wake with joy.

Life offers you 

a second chance

called tomorrow. 

   Good night.

The Dark Is 0nly Light At Rest

Shadows 

prove the sunshine.

A tree leans east,
not for light
but memory.
Stones hold the 

warmth after morning.

The dark is only 

light at rest.

 It's actually the quiet ones who often draw the most attention. There's this constant whirlwind of motion and sound all around, and then there's the quiet one, the eye of the storm.

Pope Leo XIV has made waves by introducing the first-ever “green Mass,” a liturgy dedicated to caring for creation and highlighting the Church’s moral responsibility to protect the environment. This builds directly on Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical *Laudato Si’*, which declared air pollution and environmental harm as moral issues, especially since the poor suffer most from pollution.

So Just Don't Bother!

Nothing is forever in this world, not even our problems. Charlie Chaplin  

Happiness is a cold drink

In a dark place

on a hot afternoon.

Sometimes that's all

the therapy you need.

Let the sun blaze outside, I'll stay here. You'll find me in the shadows Where the glasses clink.

Some worship the sun, So pretty to look out at, I’ll take the shade With a drink in hand. Cloudia Charters

Easy Words Learned With Difficulty

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

We're going to mess up in life. We're all going to do things and wonder why we did something so stupid. There's going to be times we say things that leave us feeling regretful. We're going to feel mad at ourselves and even shameful at our own actions. Never be too proud to say you're sorry or I love you. These are easy words that strengthen our heart, and give us peace and wisdom.
Ron Baratono

Crimson bottle brush is
a broadleaf evergreen, perennial shrub or small tree in the myrtle family that is native to Australia and South Wales.

We sometimes need to be assured of our merits and to have our most obvious advantages pointed out to us.
Luc de Clapiers de Vauvenargues

Between sunrise and storm.

My heart is a feather, Fragile as eggshell And tougher than leather. Free to choose The gratitude, where kindness blooms softening moods Or to taste the suspicion, Every hand a fist Clutching for more. Mercy dismissed. All day, We walk this tightrope— One step from warmth, Or toward frost. Choice becomes habit, Habit makes home.

Alternatives are lost. Will we build with golden laughter, Or chase the hollow applause?

Change the garden, Change the harvest. Our choices are seeds and cause. Cloudia Charters

All bad things,

like good things,

must end.

Do Not Lose

A L O H A  From

Never be in a hurry;
do everything quietly
and in a calm spirit.
Do not lose your

inner peace
for anything whatsoever,
even if your whole world
seems upset.
Saint Francis de Sales

The weakest ones
are the wickedest cruel
When the strongest ones
in gentleness rule!

worry about what may never happen. 

Keep in the sunlight.

 I am determined to be 

cheerful and happy in 

whatever situation I may 

find myself. For I have learned

 that the greater part of 

our misery or unhappiness is 

determined not by our

 circumstance but 

by our disposition.
