in those who 

believe in it.

light persists.

will reveal themselves 

at night.

Immediate and Changing

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U

The always immediate 

and changing

 eternal sea 

makes light of today’s 

“important” concerns. 

Things always look different

 out here on the water, 

off shore, untied.

Soft dawn light breaks,

Potential trembles like dew—

Your moment arrives

Good Luck!

Out on the edge 

you see 

all kinds of things 

you can't see 

from the center.

 Kurt Vonnegut

Perhaps there is a soul

hidden in everything and

it can always speak,

without even

making a sound,

to another soul.

Frances Hodgson

What I know

Is just a dewdrop

Rolling down 

wisdom's leaf.

Certainty melts

Like frost at dawn

Leaving space 

for wonder.

Each question opens

Another door

To rooms 

I've never been.

Why is it that 

when the story ends,

What's Wrong With THAT!

 A L O H A From

Diversity?

God sure made lots of 

different varieties of humans!

Equity?

Law and equity are two things 

which God has joined, but 

which man has put asunder. 

Charles Caleb Colton

Inclusion?

No One Left Behind!

Children's Wisdom

Warrior's Pledge

Dawn Reflected

Blinding sun

Too bright to behold

Story too vast

To ever be told.

We cannot grasp

The cosmic whole

Though fragments dance

In every soul.

Yet in the soft glow

Of heart-filled twilight

Angels reflect

This ultimate light.

We don't  see,

But we perceive

We do not know,

But I believe.

There is no love 

without forgiveness, and 

there is no forgiveness 

without love.

You will always be lucky

if you know

how to make friends

with strange cats. Colonial Proverb

Things seen at night

fill me with delight.

They have a "not quite"

that somehow 

shows the truth.

        Cloudia Charters

No one is useless

 in this world who 

lightens the burdens 

of another.

 Charles Dickens

"Critics"

 Don’t be distracted 

by criticism. Remember, 

the only taste of success 

some people have is 

when they take a 

bite out of you.

  Zig Ziglar

When criticized, 

consider the source.

Mom Says

 Angel's glow   

   Wisdom's flow   

   Cosmic whole   

   In each soul   

  Silent truth  

  Gentle proof  

  Unseen present  

   Evergreen.

A quotation is a handy

thing to have about,

saving one the trouble

of thinking for oneself,

always a laborious business.

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day. Vincent van Gogh

The breeze at dawn 

has secrets to tell you.

Don't go back to sleep.

Red Ti Cordyline and

First Hawaiian Bank,

Kalakaua Ave

(In storage - Bank Branch Closed)

The Hawaiians of old

discovered and inhabited

these islands

centuries ago,

While Europeans 

hugged their coasts

lest they fall over 

the world's edge.

The great double-hulled 

sailing canoes

brought people, 

animals, plants,

and culture to

Hawaii!

Hen vs Turtle

Sometimes 

you have to unplug

yourself from the world 

for a moment, so you 

can reset yourself.

The turtle lays thousands

of eggs without anyone

knowing, but when the

hen lays an egg, the

whole country is informed.

Malay Proverbs

The simple act of listening 

to someone and making 

them feel as if they have 

truly been heard is 

a most treasured gift.

L. A. Villafane

Be still,  and know

The world is aching.  

Beneath the surface  

Pain is real.

But it does not  

Require your breaking.

Witness with love

Not alarm.

 

Be the lantern

Not the shadow.

The sorrow of others,  

Must not drown you.

Be the lake

That holds the moon

Reflecting light  

In the darkness.

The gift you offer 

Is presence,  

not sacrifice.  

To see, to know, 

But keep on rising 

Stand humbly 

In your light,  

The world may

Yet find its way.
