Unconcernedly

A L O H A From Honolulu!

I had embraced you... long before i hugged you. Sanober Khan

I never had any fixed aim

before my eyes,

my system, if it can be

called a system, has been to

glide away unconcernedly

on the stream of life,

trusting to the wind

wherever it led. Giacomo Casanova

In my garden there is a

large place for sentiment.

My garden of flowers

is also my garden of

thoughts and dreams.

The thoughts grow as

freely as the flowers, and

the dreams are as beautiful.

Delonix regia is a species of

flowering plant in the

and flamboyant display of

orange-red flowers over summer.

Give me two hours a day

of activity, and I'll take the

other twenty-two in dreams.

A  L  O  H  A !

It is inaccurate to say that I hate everything. 

I am strongly in favor of common sense, 

common honesty, and common decency.

This makes me forever ineligible 

for public office.

Examine what is said, 

not him who speaks.

   Arab Proverb

Pause.

Breathe.

3 Deep Grateful Breaths.

Repeat

throughout the day!

Night, when words 

fade and 

things come alive. 

When the destructive 

analysis of day is done, 

and all that is 

truly important 

becomes whole 

and sound again. 

When man reassembles 

his fragmentary self 

and grows 

with the calm of a tree.

     Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The crash and boom of the Sea

slamming the land

causes the ground to

tingle your feet

with a deep & ancient

Accompanying

heralds of spray

Is the sky cloudy? Can’t you see 

the shining stars? Take a look 

at the eyes of a happy child, 

you will see all the 

bright stars over there!

Summer Sighs

A  L  O  H  A !

Calmness is a superpower. 
The ability to not overreact 
or take things personally 
keeps your mind clear 
and your heart at peace.

 "Tears of joy are like 

the summer rain drops 

pierced by sunbeams."

            Hosea Ballou

"Petting, scratching, and 
cuddling a dog could be 
as soothing to the mind and 
heart as deep meditation and 
almost as good for the soul 
as prayer."
              Dean Koontz

Healing Pets

A  L  O  H  A !

Next time you are feeling 

anxious about life in this so-called 

"dog eat dog" world of ours 

stop and think about 

actual dogs you have known.

They're not eating each other, usually.

Think of the thrill of recognition 

that "kid-you" felt when

you looked into the eyes of your pet.

You felt loved,

your dog followed you every where.

And though there are those 

who believe in fear-leadership

dogs lay down their lives,

or return from thousands 

of miles away,

for love.

Yes, an elemental love 

looks back at you

through the eyes of nature.

Pets often take the 

role of protector,

a caring friend 

by the sick bed.

They try to assist

and research shows 

positive health affects

just from seeing

or touching them.

When I feel pain

Pixie comes near in concern.

When she brushes my ankles

or settles nearby

my pain is lessened

my spirit leaps.

So thank you to 

our companions

who heal, love, 

and teach us!

And Thank YOU

For Your Aloha,

                  Warmly, Cloudia

Dawn Over Marin Wetlands

“ The morning always has 

a way of creeping up 

on me and peeking

 in my bedroom windows. 

The sunrise is 

such a pervert. ” 

                           Jarod Kintz

East Bay Mountains

“ There's a sunrise and

 a sunset every single day, 

and they're absolutely free. 

Don't miss so many of them. ” 

                                       Jo Walton

“ In someone's darkest hour 

your simple act of kindness 

may imitate the sunrise, 

and to sad eyes 

you become their 

only source of light. ”

Pixie cat is 

SO delighted

to be home from

summer camp!

She was a rescue

when she came to us,

had been abandoned,

and had spent long 

weeks in the shelter.

A shy girl, her hopes

for adoption seemed slim.

That was four years ago

I had never left her before

and told her

"I will be back for you!"

when I took her 

to Cozy Cat Lodge.

But my heart was 

breaking.

Would she be glad to see

me after two weeks,

or permanently miffed?

Well she is as happy

to see us, as we are

to be with her.

We are sharing the love.

She slept with us all night.

Love conquers all!

But no more vacations.

If we go far,

it will be together,

and for good.

[considering Hawaii's animal quarantine]

Stay tuned Friends!
