Mystery Scene With Dog

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The Moon, like a flower

in Heaven's high bower,

with silent delight,

sits

and smiles on the night.

Light isn't always buoyant

and shadows aren't always despair;

yet both, I believe, are limitless

in lessons that they share.

Carolyn Riker

Remember,

the best way to resist darkness

is to shine your own light.

Be the kindness

that defies negativity.

I never tell anyone

exactly how clever I am.

They would be too scared.

No Empty Gestures

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Wearing her crown of royal night,

The city breathes in jeweled light.

Streets below, vibrant streams

Flash neon signs and active dreams.

But up above, the heavens hold

A deeper magic poured in black gold.

      Cloudia Charters

Animals praise a good day, a good hunt.

They praise rain if they're thirsty.

That's prayer. They don't live an

unconscious life, they simply have no

language to talk about these things.

But they are grateful for the

good things that come along.

            Mary Oliver

Adenium is a genus of flowering plants

in the family Apocynaceae first described in 1819.

It is native to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

With the delicacy of a flower,

love tames the most aloof hearts.

     Augusto Branco

There are no empty gestures

made with a full heart.

Warrior Not Worrier

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Remember

We are not given a challenge

we can't overcome.

The reason most people break

down is that they put most of

the energy into the problem

instead of the solution.

Let's get into warrior mode

not worrier mode!

Gedale Fenster

The Crown-flower queen, In robes of lilac blue With her stems of attendants, And Bees, around her head. The little bees are glad, For they know that she is good, And the Crown-flower is happy, In their neighborhood

Together they endure

In harmony and peace.

The crown herself is crowned

By her golden bees.

Cloudia Charters

The greatest illusion of

modern society is that freedom

is purely individualistic, when in

reality, our freedom is deeply

interconnected with the

well-being of everyone. @berniegirl67_3

The longer I live, the more deeply

I learn that love, whether we call it

friendship or family or romance, is

the work of mirroring and magnifying

each other's light. Gentle work.

Steadfast work. Life-saving work

in those moments when life and

shame and sorrow occlude our own light

from our view, but there is still a

clear-eyed loving person to beam it back.

In our best moments, we are that

person for another. James Baldwin

The Road to Heliconia

A L O H A From Honolulu!

It was good to be a little island
a part of the world
and a world of its own
all surrounded by
the bright blue sea.
Golden MacDonald

[Margaret Wise Brown]

Heliconia

Don't wait to be successful

at some future point.

Have a successful relationship

with the present moment and be

fully present in whatever you are doing.

That is success.

    Eckhart Tolle

Sing with your voices,

your hearts, your

lips and your lives.

Augustine Of Hippo

I Will always carry myself

with understated dignity.

But what others think of me

is really none of my business. 

They don't know me.

      Cloudia 

Even when you spend your day

 on the edge of darkness 

the light always finds

its way to you.

           Karen Sather

The whole world is a

series of miracles, but

we're so used to them

we call them ordinary things. Hans Christian Andersen

If you label me, you negate me.

By giving me a name, a label, you

negate all the other things

I could possibly be.

Just relax and be kind.
Then all that cannot be forced
will flow to you easily.
Stop focusing on worries.

Moonlight Shower Tree

I hear the wind among the trees Playing the celestial symphonies; I see the branches downward bent, Like keys of some great instrument.

our very breath are

parts of the banquet.

your roads and paths blocked,

He will show you a secret way

that no one knows.

Roots strong, branches wide Unfurl your leafy crown. Shade for weary minds beneath

Your green and magic gown.

We are stars wrapped in skin.

The light you are seeking

has always been within.
