Rainbows Do Not Argue

 

 A  L  O  H  A 
From
Honolulu

Rainbows do not argue
with the storm.
quietly they prove
the light.

I am still here,
and have learned
how to bend.
with color, with patience,
with grace that refuses
to break.

Be like the rainbow,
Standing in the rain
And shining.

Cloudia Charters

A wonderful bird is the pelican, His bill will hold more than his belican, He can take in his beak Enough food for a week But I'm damned if I see how the helican! Dixon Lanier Merritt

(1910)

The greatness of a person

is measured by the way

they treat the little guy.

Compassion for the weak

is a sign of greatness.

To be happy,
you need to:
1. Discover who
you really are.
2. Use it to help
other people.

Don't Wonder

by Cloudia Charters 

Don't wonder

what is up ahead,

Or fear the coming view,

Just take the step

right next to mine,

And I will walk with you.

The road will twist,

Weather may turn,

We don't need

all the plans.

The journey is

the prize we get,

When courage 

Guides our hands.

So leave all worry

for tomorrow,

Watch the shadows fade,

Let's go and find

the beautiful

No need to be afraid.

Began A Choice

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Empathy is the

most radical of

human emotions. Gloria Steinem

To continue and to

continue and preserve

is power. What was hard to bear is sweet to remember. India Folk Wisdom

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible. Frank Zappa

Gratitude Began as a choice A quiet practice, Faithful voice. I welcomed it into My ordinary days: For rain, for sun, My life’s winding ways. I thanked the morning, Thanked the pain, Lessons carried me Through the rain; For birds in flight, Warm cup near, a friendly word, That song to hear. Then, slowly, Something in me grew I saw how much Is good and true. Each breath Revealed a gift to me, Moments whispering, 'Receive and see' Now gratitude Is not a task, Or something I must remember to ask. It has taken root And sets me free— Gratitude Is living me!

Three Faces

Every face 

carries a story

some still waiting 

to be understood.

Golden Fog

Angels of the sunset clouds, dancing in on wings of gold— they turn through amber

and lapis light before the evening

grows too old.

Golden fog The lagoon is

dreaming yellow. Mist moves like a spirit Remembering its song.

When ordinary

Becomes sacred. Even the lagoon

Has a soul

Fog begins

To dance. Allow the light

To find you.

A quiet spirit

can transform a gray morning

into gold.

It is almost impossible

The sparrow that is twittering
on the edge of my balcony
is calling up to me this moment
a world of memories
that reach over half my lifetime,
and a world of hope
that stretches farther
than any flight
of sparrows. Donald G. Mitchell

Crescent

By Cloudia Charters A crescent moon reminds us that becoming is beautiful. Even a sliver of light can guide us through a long journey. The crescent does not apologize for being incomplete. Patience is the moon’s wisdom: every phase arrives in its own time. It grows quietly, yet the whole sky notices. Even a thin moon carries the promise of fullness. The crescent is a smile the night offers to those who look up. You do not have to be whole to be luminous. Every new beginning starts with a little light. The crescent teaches us that less can still be enough— and what appears to be a fragment may already be the beginning of renewal. It holds within its slender curve patience, hope, and the promise of becoming.

When you've lost sight 

of your path, 

listen for the

destination

 in your heart.
