Eggplant To The Moon

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Just stop for a minute 
and you'll realize you're
happy just being.

 I think it's the pursuit
that screws up happiness.

 If we drop the pursuit,
it's right here. 
James Hillman




So, you're telling me that
every time you thought you couldn't
get through something difficult,
you did. And now,
you're back here
thinking you won't succeed?
Trust your track record, my friend.
       Vex King






In a garden green
Where the veggies all bloom,  
One had grown to the 
Size of a small town saloon.

An eggplant named Edgar
Who longed to go fast  
Declared, “I’m a rocket!
I'm leaving at last!”
His friends in the patch
All cheered

And they clapped, 
The day that Edgar 
Prepared to be zapped!

“Four, three, two, one
Blast off!” he exclaimed,  
And up through the sky
That aubergine flamed.  

With a whoosh and a roar
He soared through the night,  
The first veggie-shaped rocket,
what a ridiculous sight!
  
So next time you see
An eggplant in bloom,  
Remember, they may dream
Of the stars and the moon!






Our entire life … 
consists ultimately in 
accepting ourselves 
as we are.
              Jean Anouih

The Point

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Those who dwell among the
beauties and mysteries of
the earth are never alone
or weary of life.
Rachel Carson



Even a smile
is a good deed.
 Shari Arison





Smile to the future and
it will smile back to you.
Yoko Ono



 The point of living
and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come. Peter Ustinov

Angel Love Beacon

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Angel love beacon
Our guiding light,
Dispelling darkness
Turning things right.




Indiscernible
Yet calming embrace
Your shield of protection
A sacred space.




Through trial, tribulation,
challenge and test,
Tired, tried, uncertain 
But blessed.



For in our love So pure and deep, Bond unbroken Through the promises We keep. Cloudia Charters


Wake Me Wednesday
Remember, the best way to
resist darkness is to
shine your own light.
Be the kindness
that defies negativity.
Mattie Stepanek

Up Through The Common

A L O H A From Honolulu!

All growth is a leap in the dark, 
a spontaneous unpremeditated act 
without the benefit of experience. 
    Henry Miller




 It seems to me every one of us
 is doing something meaningful
 for this world.
      Yani Tseng *

All theory, dear friend, is gray, but the golden tree of life
springs ever green. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe



To listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart;
To let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common- -this is my symphony. William Henry Channing 1810 - 1884
