For Loving Hearts

A L O H A From Honolulu!

When we feel love and

kindness toward others, it

not only makes others feel

loved and cared for, but

it helps us also to develop

inner happiness and peace.

The 14th Dalai Lama

Creative people need time to

just sit around and do nothing.

If you're out of ideas, wash the dishes.

Take really long walk. Stare at a

spot on the wall for as long as you can.

Austin Kleon

On bustling street

a fleeting sight,

Gentle hand

and touch so light.

A child with soiled

and tearful face,

Finds solace

in a mother's grace.

Her knee that bends

and touch so light,

Whispered words

to make it right.

Love's simple act

in passing seen,

My heart overflows,

warm and keen.

                     Cloudia

Love is blooming every place

If we have eyes open to grace.

For loving hearts the world unfolds,

In every touch a story told.

                        Cloudia

Don't Shout But Speak Volumes

A L O H A From Honolulu!

My pavilion soars and

I float with the clouds.

Chinese Proverb

In everyone's life, at some time,

our inner fire goes out. 

It is then burst into flame 

by an encounter with 

another human being. 

We should all be thankful 

for those people who 

rekindle the inner spirit.

Albert Schweitzer

The Little Prince

Those who can raise their

thoughts to heaven will

always have clear days,

because the sun always

shines above the clouds.

 ‎Leo Tolstoy, 

Appreciate
how well you are coping
at this highly unusual time! Take a moment to notice
your quiet competence
that doesn't shout,
but speaks volumes.

Poetry Takes Over

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In a green place,

see my real face

No mirrors here,

just nature's grace,

In a green place, you can

wear your real face.

Then return to the world

with renewal and grace.

Clouds are not loud

just high on the sky

oblivious to unknowing crowds

and watchers such as you and I.

I adore the exclamation point:

No grand facade, no gilded name

just doorway to a world untold,

where hearts connect,

and troubles flee

in moments of pure gold.

Tricks and sleights of hand,

illusions that amaze,

But something deeper dances

within magician's gaze.

Beyond the trickster's art

a hidden truth resides,

In sleights of heart

the greater part

where empathy confides.

Card tricks become metaphors,

illusions speak of trust,

And every vanishing act reminds us,

nothing's lost, just transformed;

We adjust.

The audience smiles

with sparkling eyes,

forgetting fears and pain,

Weary souls find solace

In laughter's healing rain.

The grand finale is more

than theater smoke and flare,

Hearts unveil, and burdens lift

as emotions are laid bare.

When applause begins to fade,

Magic lingers in our hearts

Have we played or prayed?

Something's fading, something starts.

Come to the little theater

where dreams and lives collide,

And find the magic waiting there

Come now. Don't wait.

Step inside!

Cloudia [All]

Hearts rebuilt from hope 

resurrect dreams 

killed by hate.

Each star is a mirror

reflecting the truth

inside you.

Two Word Wisdom

A L O H A From Honolulu!

All who joy would win
must share it.
Happiness was
born a Twin.
Lord Byron

Everything we hear is an opinion,

not a fact. Everything we see is

a perspective, not the truth.

 Marcus Aurelius 

Enjoy the journey,
the stumbles, the climb,
The lessons that linger
with the passage of time.

Cloudia

Short stories and poems are

an intense burst of emotions.

Gulzar

Two word wisdom
light and brief,
A simple truth
To life's relief:
"Enjoy it"

Inside the Crimson Triangle

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Never be in a hurry; 

do everything quietly 

and in a calm spirit. 

Do not lose your inner peace 

for anything whatsoever, 

even if your whole 

world seems upset.

            Saint Francis de Sales

Step outside of the thoughts

and observe them.

Do not entertain them,

just allow them

to pass like clouds

in the sky.

  Fearne Cotton

Inside the Crimson Triangle

I will shine again

even though I know

the clouds of life

will come-and go.

Shirley Jones-Witcher

The search for happiness

as the most important goal

in life is directly connected to

the will to remain young forever,

to remain beautiful and strong,

whereas the bitter truth that

life passes like a cloud is a

reminder that nothing stays forever.

  David Guttmann

Practice rather 

than preach.

Make of your life an 

affirmation, defined by 

your ideals, not the 

negation of others.

   Alexander Haig

Fueled by Kindness

A L O H A From Honolulu!

No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. Hal Borland

Defiance that fuels division

only feeds the fire.

Defiance fueled by kindness

builds bridges and sparks healing.

Iyanla Vanzant

The baker's grin,

the poet's sigh,

The warrior's scar,

the dreamer's eye. The queen's disdain,

the jester's leer, A tower of faces,

calling us near.

Mosaic of moods,

and clash of desires,

Fueling the world

from deep hidden fires.

Though faces may differ,

and stories may stray, Together we build, up

this grand, human play. Cloudia

There wouldn't be a sky full of stars if we were all meant to wish on the same one. Frances Clark
