Hope And Optimism Walk Into A Bar

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Hope is optimism

with a broken heart.

Nick Cave

This mountain air

is quiet and still

 Wind and bird songs

A sense of peace,

Gaze upon the tranquil scene,

A moment of serenity.

   Pixie

“Remember,” says Hope,

“the times we felt low, When the world seemed heavy,

and progress was slow?”

Optimism nods, “Yes,

But we learned

to embrace, The beauty in struggle,

and all that we face.”

Pixie & Cloudia

Silent solemn skies Draped in stardust gleam Moonlit Angel legions Murmur, dance, and dream. On lunar light descend Intimate longtime friends!

The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet. Frederick Buechner

Forgive Me My Nonsense

A L O H A From Honolulu!

For age is opportunity no less

Than youth itself, though in another dress,

And as the evening twilight fades away

The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Normal people don’t know how lucky—how blessed—they are.

Darren Shan

The earth has music for those who listen. William Shakespeare

Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense. Robert Frost

Joy Journey

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Warmth divine

Light so pure,

Flows from the source

Forever sure.

It fills the hearts

Of angels bright

And touches ours

With radiant light.

         Cloudia Charters

Let your joy be in your journey-

not in some distant goal.

People bring to what they

see and feel the inner weather

of their souls and

complexion of their minds.

   Han Suyin

It isn’t more light we need, it’s putting into practice what light we already have. When we do that, wonderful things will happen within our lives and within our world.

The Art of Ignoring

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Health flows 

from the happiness 

of the heart. 

  Sicilian Saying

Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals. If you aren't grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more?

Roy T. Bennett

I am proud only of

those days that pass

in undivided tenderness.

   Robert Bly

In a world where whispers

Can drown the mind, Amidst the chaos,

It's clarity we seek to find.

With every noise

That threatens our grace, We learn to filter,

To choose our sacred space.

Like leaves that flutter,

Caught in autumn's breeze,

We sift through distractions,

With practiced ease.

For not all that glitters

Deserves our gaze, And wisdom blooms

In the quietest ways.

So let us cherish

What truly ignites, Our passions and dreams

That soar to new heights.

In the symphony of life

Let silence sing, For in the art of ignoring

Our spirits take wing

Inevitable Joy

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every moment is unique,
offering its own way to connect
to what is deepest within us,
to the wonder and mystery
of being fully alive.
Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

There is no respect for others without humility in one's self. Henri Frederic Amiel

Strive not to be a success,

but rather to be of value. Einstein

Blooming Plumeria

Above A Torn Banana Leaf

 Now is the time to

understand more so

that we may fear less. Marie Curie

Joy is prayer–Joy is strength

–Joy is love...A joyful heart

is the inevitable result of a

heart burning with love.

Never let anything so fill you

with sorrow as to make you

forget the joy...

Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Resonate

A L O H A From Honolulu!

You can’t be that kid

standing at the top

of the water-slide,

overthinking it.

You have to

go down the chute.

  Tina Fey

A truly great book 

should be read 

in youth, 

again in maturity and 

once more in old age, 

as a fine building 

should be seen 

by morning light,

 at noon 

and by moonlight.

           Robertson Davies

Hope is a helium balloon. 

It is a wish lantern set out 

into the dark sky of night.

Sharon Weil

Photography is a reality so subtle 

that it becomes more real than reality. 

           Alfred Stieglitz

I think it is the small

gestures that resonate.

Nick Cave

Happiness Nearest

A L O H A From Honolulu!

An unexamined life

is not worth living. Socrates

Love is like paint –

you can’t spread even a little

without getting some on yourself.

Wayne L. Misner

To be wise is to be

eternally curious.

Frederick Buechner

Sing with your voices,

your hearts, your

lips and your lives.

Augustine Of Hippo

To be kind to all, to

like many and love a few, to

be needed and wanted by those 

 we love, is certainly the nearest we

can come to happiness.
