We are wise only while in search of wisdom; Imagine we have attained it, and we are a fool. Solomon Ibn Gabirol

Each time dawn appears, 

the mystery is there 

in its entirety. 

        Rene Daumal

Educating the mind without 

educating the heart, is 

no education at all.

               Aristotle 

There's never any closure 

in an awe-inspired life, 

only constant acceptance 

of the mysteries of life.

      Paul Pearsall

In hard times, people don't

want to be told to look

on the bright side.

They want to know

you're on their side.

Even if you can't help them

feel better, you can always

help them feel seen.

The best way to support

others is not to cheer them up.

It's to show up.

            Adam Grant

Let the Good in me

connect with the good

in others, until the world

is transformed through the

compelling power of love.

Stillness Reflects

 A L O H A  From  
H O N O L U L U

We are here to 

help each other get 

through this thing,

whatever it is.

Kurt Vonnegut

Stillness reflects 

Shadows of my past

Regret is a soft soaking rain.  

Visiting unasked.

Each drop insight  

Roots of change within,  

Blossoms rise from pain. 

Souvenirs of who I've been. 

 

Surrendering I breathe,  

Wisdom in silence grows,  

Karma's dance unfolds.

And what emerges consoles.

              Cloudia Charters

True silence is the rest of the mind. And it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body - nourishment and refreshment. William Penn

Hope is much more than

wishful thinking.

Hope is a way of moving

through the world. Justine Musk

The Number One Skill In Life

 A L O H A  From  
H O N O L U L U

Hope smiles

from the threshold

of the year to come,

Whispering 'it will be happier.'

Ring out the old,

ring in the new,

Ring out the false,

ring in the true.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850

A happy New Year!
Grant that I
May bring no tear
to any eye.

When this New Year

in time shall end
Let it be said

I've played the friend,

Have lived and loved

and labored here,
And made of it

a happy year.
Edgar Guest

Self-assured, 
Your peaceful heart
Gentle charm
A work of art.

Self-assured and peaceful

Calming sight,

Others feel at ease
In your gentle light.

truly the most powerful

The secret of change

is to focus all of your energy,

not on fighting the old, but

on building the new.

In The Simple

 A L O H A  From  

H O N O L U L U

One of life's

most fulfilling moments

occurs in the split-second

when the familiar is suddenly

transformed into the

dazzling aura of the

profoundly new. Edward B. Lindaman

Do not spoil 

what you have by desiring 

what you have not; remember 

that what you now have 

was once among the things 

you only hoped for. 

   Epicurus

Happiness is not the 

absence of problems, it’s the 

ability to deal with them.

     Steve Maraboli

Hold your loved ones close, In the warmth of laughter, And the stillness of the night, Weave your hearts together. Breathe in the moments, Mundane becomes profound, Especially in the simple, Extraordinary is found. Sharing a cup A walk beneath the trees, These are our treasures, Life is made of these Embrace the sorrow and joy Every tear and cheer, Remind us of our journey, It's the love that we hold dear. The beauty of existence, In every little thing, Together, we are building All that life can bring. Cloudia Charters

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.

G. K. Chesterton

A Good Person

 A L O H A  From  
H O N O L U L U

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity. President Jimmy Carter

Gratefulness brings

joy to my life.

How could I find joy in

what I take for granted?

The moment I stop

‘taking for granted,’

there is no end to

the surprises I find.

David Steindl-Rast

No amount of regret

changes the past.

No amount of anxiety

changes the future.

Any amount of gratitude

changes the present.

Ann Voskamp

Happiness is not 

experiencing something else; 

it’s continually experiencing 

what you already have in 

new and different ways.
