Beauty Even

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

Today, this hour,

Is your one true life,  

Don’t waste it on worry

On fear, or in strife.  

These moments are fleeting,

 like tides to the sea,  

Hold tightly to joy

Let your spirit run free.  

Cloudia Charters 

To live is to find out

for yourself what is true. Jiddu Krishnamurti

Home is a place

you grow up wanting

to leave, and grow old wanting

to get back to John Ed Pearce

****

Poetry expands and softens

our consciousness, moving

the mind and heart from

a state of worry to wonder,

reminding us that there is

beauty even in suffering. James McCrae

cannot help the many

who are poor,

it cannot save the

on the planet. Peter Wohlleben

They can be anywhere.

They are people 

behaving decently in 

an indecent society.

What a nice night

for an evening. Steven Wright

You fill up the frame 

with feelings, energy, 

discovery, and risk, 

and leave room enough 

for someone else 

to get in there.

not deserve your kindness.

Soft Paw Hours

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

Time spent amongst trees is never wasted time. Katrina Mayer

There is no harm in

doing no harm to others. Gift Gugu Mona

Observe the wonders as

they occur around you. 

Don’t claim them. Feel the

artistry moving through 

and be silent.

Rumi

In The Soft Paw Hours

In the quiet hours

When all the shadows yawn

kitty brings the morning 

Another life at dawn.

She senses my timidity 

Hidden away from sight

Catalogs my dreams

Still scented with the night.

There's mystery about her, 

Whispered tales of ours

Of escapades at midnight, 

Chasing fireflies and stars.

Wisdom on the wind

That only she can hear

Songs more ancient

Than the world

Tickling her ear.

Cherish your cat

And the secrets she keeps

In the quiet hours

She guards you

While you sleep.

Today is life - 

the only life you are sure of. 

Make the most of today. 

Get interested in something. 

Shake yourself awake. 

Develop a hobby. Let the 

winds of enthusiasm 

sweep through you. 

Live today with gusto.

Dale Carnegie

In youth we feel richer 

for every new illusion; 

in maturer years, 

for every one we lose.

A candle burns brightest

 in the darkest night. 

John Sarris 

Happy is the person

who can keep

a quiet heart in

the chaos and tumult

of this modern world.
