Soothe Mend

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Tempest in the mind,

Destructive and unkind.

From chaos choice emerges 

To quell, to seek, to find. 

Peaceful shore forevermore.

Accepting

What remains in store 

Balance is a gentle hold,

Sanctuary of calm

More precious than gold.

Choosing tranquility

My conscious art,

To soothe the soul

And mend a wounded heart.

                 Cloudia Charters 

I will love the light 

for it shows me 

the way, yet

 I will endure the 

darkness because

 it shows me the stars. 

                   Og Mandino

Sometimes when you lose your

way in the fog, you end up

in a beautiful place!

Don’t be afraid... 

      Mehmet Murat Ildan

Decide

A L O H A From Honolulu!

It was only a sunny smile,

and little it cost in the giving,

but like morning light

it scattered the night

and made the day

worth living.

  F. Scott Fitzgerald

 The doors we open

and close each day decide the lives we live. Flora Whittemore

For fog was merely a cloud

that wasn’t too

smitten with itself

to visit terra firma.

There is nothing more beautiful than nature early in the morning. Vincent Van Gogh

 Anyone who keeps

learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. Henry Ford

Cure The Wounding

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every circumstance in life,

no matter how 

crooked and distorted and

ugly it  appears to be,

if it is reacted to in

love and forgiveness 

can be transformed.

     Hannah Hurnard

I have many problems in life.

But my lips don’t know that.

They always smile. 

  Charlie Chaplin

A smile cures the

wounding of a frown.

 William Shakespeare

When you are full of love,

it confuses those who

are full of nonsense.

Eggplant To The Moon

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Just stop for a minute 

and you'll realize you're

happy just being.

 I think it's the pursuit

that screws up happiness.

 If we drop the pursuit,

it's right here. 

James Hillman

So, you're telling me that

every time you thought you couldn't

get through something difficult,

you did. And now,

you're back here

thinking you won't succeed?

Trust your track record, my friend.

       Vex King

In a garden green

Where the veggies all bloom,  

One had grown to the 

Size of a small town saloon.

An eggplant named Edgar

Who longed to go fast  

Declared, “I’m a rocket!

I'm leaving at last!”

His friends in the patch

All cheered

And they clapped, 

The day that Edgar 

Prepared to be zapped!

“Four, three, two, one

Blast off!” he exclaimed,  

And up through the sky

That aubergine flamed.  

With a whoosh and a roar

He soared through the night,  

The first veggie-shaped rocket,

what a ridiculous sight!

  

So next time you see

An eggplant in bloom,  

Remember, they may dream

Of the stars and the moon!

Our entire life … 

consists ultimately in 

accepting ourselves 

as we are.

              Jean Anouih

Smile to the future and

it will smile back to you.

Angel love beacon

Our guiding light,

Dispelling darkness

Turning things right.

Yet calming embrace

Your shield of protection

A sacred space.

Through trial, tribulation,

Tired, tried, uncertain 

But blessed.

For in our love So pure and deep, Bond unbroken Through the promises We keep. Cloudia Charters

Remember, the best way to
resist darkness is to
shine your own light.
Be the kindness
