How Big And Precious

A L O H A From Honolulu!

We can't be grateful and worried at the same time. When I notice that I am worrying, I immediately say 'Thank You' for the good things of my life. There's always a burst of relief.
Cloudia


Love is the most
powerful healing energy.
Everything you do
with love spreads healing.
So feel it, be it, and spread it.
Abishek Kumar


It is a very good plan
every now and then to go
away and have a little relaxation. 
Leonardo da Vinci 



Happiness always looks small
while you hold it in your hands,
but let it go, and you learn at once
how big and precious it is.
Maxim Gorky

Carnation Or Peony?

A L O H A From Honolulu!
If you want to be a great leader,
start by seeing greatness in others,
and then inspire, encourage, and
coach them to achieve it.

Almost everything will
work again if you unplug it
for a few minutes. . .

intelligence having fun. Einstein

Down the crack.

Glows

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Don't be pushed around
by the fears in your mind.
Be led by the
dreams in your heart.
  Roy T. Bennett



I have done nothing all summer
but wait for myself
to be myself again.
  Georgia O'Keeffe





From deep in creatures
radiance gleams,
Heart-fire burning
soft as dreams.

Enveloped
in the sweet embrace,
We find our haven 
and sacred space.

Where heart and soul
find sweet repose,
While love's pure essence
gently flows.
   Cloudia Charters



The mind is the shadow
of the light it seeks.

Fight For Change With Grace

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Anyone can be an idealist
Anyone can be a cynic.
The hard part lies
somewhere in the middle
i.e. being human.
 Hugh Macleod




I think that sadly over the last many years, there's been this kind of perverse approach to what strength looks like, which is to suggest that the measure of one's strength is based on who you beat down, instead of what we know: the true measure of your strength is based on who you lift up,
Kamala Harris






My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
Desmond Tutu



Ah, how good it feels!
The hand of an old friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Perhaps it dreams
of ocean blue,
Or maybe puddles, fresh and new.
A tiny Houdini
full of glee,
This water bottle escaped
and now is free!

Sometimes It IS Gold

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Too many people miss
the silver lining because
they're expecting gold.
Maurice Sendak


Honolulu Back Streets

Grieving the people you have loved is part and parcel of growing old and it takes a lot of will power and keeping a constant check on your thoughts to stay positive.
    Nicky Melville







 Friends are as companions
on a journey,  who ought to
aid each other
to persevere in the road
to a happier life.
     Pythagoras




Shell Ginger Embraced by Red Ti

Things that were
hard to bear are
sweet to remember.
Seneca





Yet in the heart a flicker gleams,
Sparks of hope the distant dream.
At last from depths of darkest night,
Ariseth dawn with healing light.

Let us unite with hearts aflame,
To mend the world and heal its pain.
With kindness sown, with empathy’s grace
We’ll build together a
Much better place.

Observing

A L O H A From Honolulu!

As she read on, her surroundings
gradually faded, and soon there lay
about her only the mists of dream;
the purple, star-strewn mists
beyond Time, where only
gods and dreamers walk.
H.P. Lovecraft


Hawaiian Monk Seal Link

You must live in the present,
launch yourself on every wave,
find your eternity in each moment.
    Henry David Thoreau




The biggest creative cheat code is to get out of your own way and let the universe work through you... Rather than trying too hard to micromanage the process and control the outcome, in both creativity and life, I have learned that it’s better to open myself to unexpected solutions and make
myself a vessel for the muse.
     James McCrae





I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease
observing a spear
of summer grass.
Walt Whitman
