Sunshine Laugh

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

A good laugh is
sunshine in the house.
William Makepeace Thackeray

One day 

we’re gonna look back 

and we'll say

"those detours were 

upgrades in disguise."

Case Kenny

Even against

the greatest of odds,

 there is something 

in the human spirit -

a magic blend of skill,

 faith, and valor -

 that can lift us

 from certain defeat

 to incredible victory. 

 Walter Lord

Pets are humanizing. 

They remind us we have an 

obligation and responsibility 

to preserve and nurture 

and care...

James Cromwell

To Play Renew

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

 I think there's 

a little child 

in all of us 

and we all to often 

forget to let the 

child out to play.

   Donna A. Favors 

There they stand, 

the innumerable stars, 

shining in order 

like a living hymn, 

written in light.

N.P. Willis

Love is flower like;
Friendship is like
a sheltering tree.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Inside myself is a place
where I live all alone,
and that's where

I renew my springs

that never dry up.
Pearl S. Buck

If We Laugh And Sing A Little

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

If we laugh and

sing a little as

we fight the good fight

of freedom, it makes it

all go easier. I will not

allow my life's light to

be determined by the

darkness around me. Sojourner Truth

I survived because the

dumpster fire within me

burned brighter that the

dumpster fire around me.

Feral Cat Saying

Real freedom comes 

when we discover 

the goodness connected 

with our beliefs, 

if they are love 

for what is good. 

Being motivated by anger 

and hatred is not freedom. 

It is mental slavery.

Swedenborg

For every shadow

There’s light to find,  

Each struggle unearths 

a much stronger mind.  

So breathe in the present, 

let gratitude swell,  

Life is a gift, and 

you’re living it well!

Luminous Ineffable

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

What is yours will

reach you in good time.

You don't have to forcibly

grab that which is

intended for you anyway.

Rabbi Shalom Arush

Fear of the future 

can paralyze us, 

but we can allow it 

to unfold easily

when we keep to the

present moment.

    Eckhart Tolle 

ᬪ

Amaryllis, also known as Hippeastrum,

A tropical bulb native to South America

Be happy. 

It really annoys 

negative people.

 Ricky Gervais

In quiet moments 

We are blessed

Where silence speaks 

And stillness rests,

There lives a truth 

Beyond mere sight

A luminous, ineffable light

There within 

That tender space

Where heart and 

Spirit interlace

Listen with the 

Ears of soul

As fragments merge

In a marvelous whole.

Clearly Deeply Slowly Quietly

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Modern luxury is 

the ability to think clearly, 

sleep deeply, move slowly, 

and live quietly in a world 

designed to prevent all four.

Justin Welsh

To see a world 

in a grain of sand and

 heaven in a wild flower 

Hold infinity in

 the palms of your hand

and eternity

 in an hour.

  William Blake

In quiet moments

We are blessed

Where silence speaks

And stillness rests,

There lives a truth

Beyond mere sight

A luminous

Ineffable light.

      Cloudia Charters

The more you 

know yourself, the 

more patience you have 

for what you see 

in others.

A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

Honesty to Power

Simple truth, 

Sharp and clear,

Standing tall 

When shadows leer,

Courage drawn 

from soul's deep well,

Breaking silence 

And every spell.

Don't whisper, 

Or tremble, or  lie,

Cast your Truth 

Across the sky,

Integrity blazes 

as a flame,

Broken spirit 

Transmuting shame.

Can moral truth 

Finally reach

The heart of power 

Through powerful speech?

Can it breech the walls 

Of fear and doubt

With one triumphant 

Holy shout?

Each life, each land, 

Each generation

Must eventually 

Find out.

   Cloudia Charters

Hope is being able 

to see that there is light 

despite all of the darkness. 

Desmond Tutu

The magic of the street

is the mingling of the

errand and the epiphany.

   Rebecca Solnit

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else. Charles Dickens
