Be The Reason

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Happiness is not

a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling. Margaret Lee Runbeck

Be the reason someone smiles.

Be the reason someone feels

loved and believes in the

goodness in people. Roy T. Bennett

What we call despair is

often the painful eagerness

of unfed hope.

George Eliot

Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon Winnie the Pooh

Just be yourself and

you'll never have a problem.

That's what I did. Willie Mays

Awake Embrace

A L O H A From Honolulu!

May you enjoy today

as if you had been released

unexpectedly from jail!

Living mindfully is the art

of living awake and ready to

embrace the gift of

the present moment.

more beautiful

Get Glowing

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Shine, shine, shine tonight-

It's time to let it show-

Burn bright, light the fire-

That leads the way to hope-

The Maker of the stars

lives in our soul-

We have His light,

what are we waiting for-

Get out and glow.

On pavements and 

the bark of trees

Window of light

Magical frame,
Where beauty ignites

And whispers your name.

Golden hour sings

Fleeting precious thing,

Riches of light descend

Like the visit of a friend

     Cloudia Charters

There is a pleasure

in the pathless woods,

A rapture in the lonely shore,

There is society,

where none intrudes,

By the deep sea,

and music in its roar;

I love not man the less,

but Nature more.

       Lord Byron

Seek not to be an influencer,
but rather to be influenced
by Love & Truth, 
Then whatever influence
you do share with others
will be good for all involved.

Stone Soul Pigeon

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Gratitude unlocks

the fullness of life,

turns what we have

into enough, and more!

Melody Beattie

There was a pigeon

Or perhaps a dove
Who loved a little fountain
And visited everyday.

Folks in the neighborhood

noticed when she passed away...

...But then something happened.

This dove-shaped stone appeared.
And when the neighbors pass
They still see her spirit here.

Beneath the waves,

where kelp sways slow,
A love story bubbles,

don't you know?

Lobster lad, eyes so bright,
This lovely lass his crimson delight.
Their dance a waltz or slow ballet,
Under the ocean

where current and sunlight play.

Briney whispers, a secret vow,
Two armored hearts allow somehow
Love's embracing oceanic sweep,
Happy lobster love

to hold and to keep!

Their silent vow, a heartfelt click,
Two lobster souls, forever linked.
A love untold, yet understood,
Two armored souls in together-hood.

Salty sweet, this love they share,
Lobster's vow crustacean prayer.

O God, help me to believe

the truth about myself,

no matter how beautiful it is.

This Is The Light

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 I'm right here right now

and I want now to

be the Golden Age.

If only each generation would

realize that the time for greatness

is right now when they're alive. . .

. . . the time to flower is now.

Kamehameha The Great

Unified the Hawaiian Islands in 1810

One of the most striking figures in Hawaiian history, a leader who united and ruled the islands during a time of great cultural change.

There is a light that shines

beyond all things on earth,

beyond the highest,

the very highest heavens.

This is the light that

shines in your heart.

        Upanishads

Lei queen smiles

in regal style!

Happiness lingers

around for a while.

Tiara and flowers

But strangely no lei

Laughed to myself

As I walked away.

A cat may look at a queen
only one she's ever seen!

Unity is that
we come together
despite our differences.

In a green place,

see my real face

No mirrors here,

just nature's grace.

In a green place, you can

wear your real face.

Then return to the world

with renewal and space.

Lilac Dream

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The Moon is always there.

A half blink of shadow,

a crescent of an eyelash,

opulent in fullness, spellbound

in nothingness, and a friend.

   Carolyn Riker

If you can't explain it

to a six year old, you don't

understand it yourself.

Green is nice, but oh so plain,

Time to paint the world insane!

Jacaranda standing tall,

The prettiest surprise of all!

 Shower of confetti bright,

Like fairies dipped

In lavender light.

Her sidewalk turned

A wonderland,

Of carpet soft and

Oh so grand!

Among the petals

Light and sweet,

A lilac dream

Beneath our feet.

Inside it's shade

A world transformed,

Magic land

Where dreams are born.

       Cloudia Charters

If you are ever caught in a trap,

just relax as much as you can

and it will become a trapeze!

When I am silent,

I have thunder

hidden inside.
