The Real

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Compassion's warm wisdom Banishes fear. Masterpiece of kindness, Our inner light sincere.

Other people

have secret sorrows.

Private worries that

cloud their tomorrows.

You don't need to know

what they are.

Just shine on them

with your secret star.

Cloudia Charters

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'! Audrey Hepburn

And above all, watch

with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in

the most unlikely places. Those who don't

believe in magic will never find it. Roald Dahl

The real guide is the one who makes you see your inner beauty, not the one who wants to be admired and followed. Shams Tabrizi

Now and Then

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A little elation
now and then can
help you feel alive again.

Pixie

Morning light
my gentle friend,
Warm my skin
night's at it's end

Thank you, light,
for waking me,
To all the joy
the day will be.

Cloudia

Inhale the calm,

exhale the strife,

This simple solace,

the gift of life.

Pixie

Let your gratitude

smother your fear.

Cloudia

We define ourselves

by differences.

We defend ourselves

by tribes.

Discovering, becoming

Through loves and hates

And all to which

we subscribe.

Till the time of reappraisal

If we're lucky to

be that smart.

We see beyond old choices

to become our truest heart.

Kind Simple Practical

A L O H A From Honolulu!

There is only one success-
-to be able to spend your life
in your own way.
Christopher Morley

Sometimes people are just

a different flavor from you

and that's okay.

We must not allow the

clock and the calendar to

blind us to the fact that

each moment of life is

a miracle and mystery.

H. G. Wells

Giving love to others
and not expecting it back
is also a form of self-love.
Sylvester McNutt III

What is possible? The practical, simple and kind. We work, love and help others as best we can, gawk at nature, rest. Is that it? Pretty much...age teaches us that kind, simple and practical are enough, even in the face of the worst. Anne Lamott

Kindness Confetti

A L O H A From Honolulu!

From daily grind

to a joyful lift.

No passport needed,

just a mindful shift.

Toss kindness confetti

let random smile's spark,

Small acts ripple,

leaving their mark.

Gratitude echoes

in the heart's gentle hum,

Singing the truth,

then happiness comes.

So pack your spirit

and get away

On inner Vacation's

Take several a day.

Make an honest assessment

of the choices you've made

before you look askance

at somebody else's.

Kathleen Rooney

Even the severed branch

grows again, and the

sunken moon returns:

wise ones who ponder this

are not troubled in adversity.

Bhartrhari

Being listened to and heard

is one of the greatest desires

of the human heart.

Richard Carlson

Lunch in a Sack

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sun in my face

Trees got my back

The song of birds

lunch in a sack.

In sunlit sheen, a grackle gleams,

No longer black, a rainbow seems.

Emerald shimmers dance and play,

On wings that catch the light of day.

On iridescent wings he flies,

A splash of blues and purple dyes.

In sunlit air, a grackle gleams,

Coat of black with iridescent seams.

Vinca is a genus of flowering plants that includes about 12 species, and is also known as periwinkle or myrtle. Vinca plants are native to Europe and Asia, but have naturalized in many other parts of the world.

Every time you do wrong you

bend your soul the wrong way,

and when you act rightly you give

your soul a brighter shine,

a little beauty.

Paul Woodruff

When angels visit us,

we do not hear

the rustle of wings,

nor feel the feathery touch...

...but we know their presence

by the love they create

in our hearts.

Mary Baker Eddy

Droophead

A L O H A From Honolulu!

A molten ember bleeding

into amethyst.

Wispy multi-hues

in twilight's dance exist.

So breathe, and smile,

and know your worth,

A symphony sung

from your birth.

For in you

wonder's boundless claim,

Whispering: "forever

is your name"

This fire that we call Loving

is too strong for human minds.

But just right for human souls.

Aberjhani

Guzmania lingulata, also known as the scarlet star, droophead tufted airplant, or orange star, is a flowering plant native to the rainforests of Central and South America, southern Mexico, and the West Indies. It is a member of the Bromeliaceae family
