Sunshine In The Fog

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The true purpose of education

is to teach one to carry oneself

triumphant to the sunset.

  Liberty Hyde Bailey

Spathoglottis plicata

In a world of green,

a splash of delight,

This happy little flower,

so bright. 

Yellow petals,

sunshine's embrace,

Mauve accents,

a touch of grace.

Petals unfurl, like

a butterfly's wings,

Dancing in the breeze,

while sunbeams sing.

You fill the air

with fragrance sweet,

A symphony of color,

So lovely to meet.

      Cloudia Charters

When you are happy,

you feel the sunshine

even inside the fog;

when you are unhappy,

you feel the fog

even in the sunshine.

Keep your love, keep your love.

The forces that are for you

are greater than the

forces against you.

 Joel Osteen

Let my love like sunlight

surround you and yet

give you illumined freedom.

Rabindranath Tagore

Hold your values tight,  

Yet keep an open heart

Let new ideas ignite.  

Every ending is a start.

Be firm in your truths

Yet ready to learn,  

For growth comes from bridges, and

Listening is how we discern.

In conversation

Let kindness lead the way,  

Embrace different voices

Let them have their say.  

It's together

We must journey

Values with openness,

Let’s build

Instead of fighting 

And find the treasure in

This glorious mess.

Govern Myself

A L O H A From Honolulu!

 We cannot become

 what we are.

are not inadequacies;

they are reminders that

we're all in this together.

Softly Subtle Considerations

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Dawn breaks bright, Made it through the night. Each choice can be

a hopeful start, To mend your soul

and heal our hearts. Though shadows linger

light will mend, Calm spirits make

a faithful friend. Embrace the day

no need to be bold, Your story's written

just as yet untold. So step outside,

let worries cease, Accept the air

with sweet release. In each step

may your strength

be renewed, You've made your

path of purpose,

That's beautifully understood.

Cloudia Charters

Between stimulus and response,

there is space. In that space is

our power to choose our response.

In our response lies our growth

and our freedom.

        Viktor E. Frankl

Cacophonies

Of clashing views,
Always miss

The subtle hues.

Truth, I've found,

hates extremes,
Always present,

But softly gleams.

Pixie

Elections belong to the people.

It's their decision, if they

decide to turn their back

on the fire

and burn their behinds,

then they will just have to

sit on their blisters.
Abraham Lincoln
