Let The Beauty

A L O H A From Honolulu!


If you are irritated by
every rub, how will
your mirror be polished?
Rumi




Set fire to
the broken pieces;
start anew.
Lauren DeStefano




Deep feelings always mean more 
than they are capable  of saying.
                 Albert Camus 






Let the beauty we love
be what we do. 
Rumi




Under my wings
find solace and grace
A refuge from storms
Our own tranquil space
Whispers of fidelity
Gently caress
All worries are lulled
In sweet, gentle rest.

Fresh Pure and Bright

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Place your mind before
the mirror of eternity!
Place your soul in
the brilliance of glory!
And transform your entire being...
Clare of Assisi (1193-1253)
Prayer of St. Claire





Savour the flavors
Fresh, pure, and bright,
Fueling your days
With nourishing light.




 One thing I learned watching
birds is that they all fly
differently. They all look
different in flight, they
have different shaped wings,
 but they are all flying.





A beautiful street is
an  invitation to walk
within a dream!
Mehmet Murat ildan




Those who accept you as who you are, and who know you very well, are worth more than anything in the end. Bronnie Ware

Salute Fleeting Beauty

A L O H A From Honolulu!

The clouds like mountains
dipped in Midas' touch, Burn yellow and gold,
promising so much.
The wind picks up,
a whisper, then a sigh, Stirring the silence
beneath the glaring sky. We stand and watch
the golden tide unfurl, Promises whispered
to a waiting world.
Cloudia Charters


Heliconia psittacorum is a
perennial herb native to the
Caribbean and South America.




Face like a squish
Wrinkled delight,
A Bostonian grin
Goofy and bright.
Wide lips pulled back
That toothy display,
A smile that could make
anyone's day!
[Even Mine] Pixie



Wisdom is knowing
what to do next.
Skill is knowing
how to do it.
Virtue is doing it.
Thomas Jefferson



Salute fleeting beauty
Painted in the sky,
A moment held in memory
Even before it says goodbye.
Cloudia & Pixie



Having perfected our disguise,

we spend our lives searching

for someone we don’t fool. In the end there doesn’t have to

be anyone who understands you.

There just has to be

someone who wants to. Robert Brault

Atmospherics

A L O H A From Honolulu!


In the sweetness of friendship
let there be laughter, and
sharing of pleasures. For
in the dew of little things
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed.
Khalil Gibran






Without atmosphere
a painting is nothing.
 Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijn
Born: July 15, 1606, Leiden, Netherlands




A happy life must be
to a great extent a quiet life,
for it is only in an atmosphere
of quiet that true joy dare live.
Bertrand Russell


A new idea must not be
judged by its immediate results. Nikola Tesla


ஐ



Passiflora incarnata, commonly known as maypop, purple passionflower, true passionflower, wild apricot,
and wild passion vine,

If we look at the world 
with a love of life, 
the world will reveal 
its beauty to us. 
      Daisaku Ikeda 






Life is full of awe
and grace and truth,
mystery and wonder.
I live in that atmosphere.
Dion DiMucci *

Summer Drench

A L O H A From Honolulu!


Oh, the summer night
Has a smile of light
And she sits
on a sapphire throne.
Barry Cornwall




Our sun-drenched hours
O golden stream,
These are the days
We joyfully dream.
Like ruby wine
Our hours flow,
Each shared moment
Gently glows.
             Cloudia Charters



Did you know that
there are over 300
words for ‘love’
in canine?
  Gabrielle Zevin 





There shall be eternal summer
in the grateful heart.
Celia Thaxter




Thank You
For sunshine warm,
For gentle breeze,
For blooming flowers
On the trees.

For patience held
For anger quelled,
For lessons learned
For giants felled.

For life unfolds
In every part,
And gratitude
Fills up the heart.
Thank You
                       Pixie

Invisible To Others

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Learn from yesterday, live
for today, hope for tomorrow.
The important thing is
not to stop questioning.
