The Road to Heliconia

A L O H A From Honolulu!

It was good to be a little island
a part of the world
and a world of its own
all surrounded by
the bright blue sea.
Golden MacDonald

[Margaret Wise Brown]

Heliconia

Don't wait to be successful

at some future point.

Have a successful relationship

with the present moment and be

fully present in whatever you are doing.

That is success.

    Eckhart Tolle

Sing with your voices,

your hearts, your

lips and your lives.

Augustine Of Hippo

I Will always carry myself

with understated dignity.

But what others think of me

is really none of my business. 

They don't know me.

      Cloudia 

Even when you spend your day

 on the edge of darkness 

the light always finds

its way to you.

           Karen Sather

The whole world is a

series of miracles, but

we're so used to them

we call them ordinary things. Hans Christian Andersen

Be an opener of doors

Ralph Waldo Emerson

A very little key will

open a very heavy door.

Charles Dickens

Nothing you have

is yours to keep.

But everything you have

is yours to give. 

  John Sarris

If you label me, you negate me.

By giving me a name, a label, you

negate all the other things

I could possibly be.

Just relax and be kind.
Then all that cannot be forced
will flow to you easily.
Stop focusing on worries.

Moonlight Shower Tree

I hear the wind among the trees Playing the celestial symphonies; I see the branches downward bent, Like keys of some great instrument.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When one is willing and able the gods join in. Aeschylus

The sun, the earth,

love, friends, 

our very breath are

parts of the banquet.

They're signposts. Richie Norton

Great Seal of

The Kingdom Of Hawaii

If you find all

your roads and paths blocked,

He will show you a secret way

that no one knows.

Rumi

Roots strong, branches wide Unfurl your leafy crown. Shade for weary minds beneath

Your green and magic gown.

We are stars wrapped in skin.

The light you are seeking

has always been within.

Even Less Than Nothing

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Sun's grand arc, O daily rhyme,
Our silent clock that keeps all time.
Ideas rise, and others fall
The stars above observe it all.
Old Stonehenge whispers
(If you know)
Earth keeps turning
And on we go.

Cloudia Charters

Rise early and listen to

the birds that sing on

the power lines. It is a privilege

to be alive in the world when

the sky turns pearl gray

and the light

strengthens on the hills.
Sylvia Plath 

It's Graduation Day!

The world needs

dreamers and doers.

Be both.

Lila Watson

Silent guardian,

Keeper of dreams,

Unseen presence, where

hope ever gleams.

life is a journey in

light and shade,

Where every moment,

beauties are made.

Care About Everything - Worry About Nothing

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The best surfer out there

is the one having the most fun

 Duke Paoa Kahanamoku

Yawns are not the only infectious things out there besides germs.
Giggles can spread from person

to person.
So can blushing.
But maybe the most powerful infectious thing is the act of speaking the truth.
Vera Nazarian

Care for all you see around,

Let your heart's concern be bound

To ladybug upon the leaf,

Singing secrets in the breeze.

Resting seeds in soil so deep,

Dream of sunshine

Their secrets keep.

Above in winter

Skies are gray,

But trust those seeds

To find their way.

Let all things show you their delight,

Forget your worries of the night...

...Tiny dogs and soaring kites,

Enchanting winds

and starry nights,

From bustling streets

to hidden streams,

The world's a wonder

full of dreams.

Care for all you see and hear,

A robin's song, a child's cheer.

Let worries fade

as morning mist,

Embrace the joy

open up your fist.

    Cloudia Charters

To open hearts

the world unfolds,

Her happy tales

a wealth untold.
