Enhancing Corner

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Golden galleon clouds
Sail softly out to sea,
A canvas duly painted
With hues of destiny.

Copper and gold
Masterpiece of light,
Fading into purple
As shadows claim the night.
Cloudia Charters



Human felicity is produced
 not as much by
great pieces of good fortune
 that seldom happen
 as by little advantages
 that occur every day.
      Benjamin Franklin 




White-Rumped Shama
copsychus malabaricus

The work will wait 
while you show
 the child the rainbow,
 but the rainbow
 won't wait 
while you do
 the work.
  Douglas Pagels




Some people
strengthen the society 
just by being the
kind of people they are.

Those We Love

A L O H A From Honolulu!

All, Many, Few





First Nations / Native Bird Flute

The flute of the infinite
is played without ceasing,
and it's sound is love.
 Kabir





Are you looking for me?
I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours...
you will see me instantly —
you will find me in the
tiniest house of time.
Kabir *



Upon the wall, a magic sight,
A furry friend of softest light.
No paws to tread, no tail to flick,
Just shadow-dance and magic trick.

Whiskered shape O ghostly gleam,
Abstract friend in sunlit scheme.
Fleeting wink, a silver stream,
Tiny tiger in a dream.

Ephemeral friend, moment’s grace,
Whiskered smile from outer space
You're gone as quickly as you came,
Dazzle phantom silver flame!
          Cloudia Charters





Wonder is the
beginning of wisdom.
Socrates

A Fresh Breeze

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

 We all live
 under the same sky,
 but we don't all have
 the same horizon.
   Konrad Adenauer



 Act as if 
what you do
 makes a difference.
 It does. 
 William James




 Take rest; 
a field that has rested 
gives a bountiful crop. 
Ovid




The gift of fantasy 
has meant more to me 
 than any talent 
for abstract, 
positive thinking.  
Albert Einstein





New candidates shine
folks cheer with glee,
Old ones fade into history!
The hardest thing for them to know
is when they're done and time to  go.
Then the voters have their say
Longing for a brand new day!
          Pixie

Sky, a canvas vast and deep,
Painted hues of blue and sleep.
Flowers, earthly stars in bloom,
Real as dreams in a fragrant room.
Petals' softly whispered prayer
Dancing gently on the air.

Pixie Blessing

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sunrise hues, a painted sky,
A child's laughter, soaring high.
The rain's soft song, a gentle drum,
The warmth of love,
where hearts are one.
Cloudia Charters



Poetry is an echo,
asking a shadow to dance.
Carl Sandburg




May you delight in everything

that comes today. May the child in you stir awake for

Wonder

and radical Hope.

Pixie



Elegance is
a glowing inner peace. 
Grace is an ability to give 
as well as to receive 
and be thankful. 
Mystery is a hidden laugh 
always ready to surface! 
Glamour only radiates if 
there is a sublime courage 
& bravery within
          C. JoyBell C.



 It's what you learn after you know it all that counts. John Wooden

Hope Whispers Soft

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Honoring Kamehameha the Great in Honolulu

Flowers don’t tell,
they show.
 Stephanie Skeem




Savor with me
the lushness of
 a lingering sleep...
and last night’s
dream.
           Sanober Khan



What you don't see backstage
is what really controls the show.
Sarah Sutton
[Not a conspiracy theory]





Hope whispers soft
on the gentle breeze,
Uplifting hearts,
and souls to ease.
So greet the day
with head held high,
Let sunshine fill
your inner sky.

The only thing we never get enough of is love, and the only thing we never give enough of is love.

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
