As You Are - As You Will

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Rainbow Beach, Rainbow Beach

where worries cease to be, Footprints in the shoreline,

washed by ebbing sea. Laughter floats on laughter,

carried on the breeze, As children chase the rainbows,

painted through the trees.

Play is our brain's favorite

way of learning

Diane Ackerman.

One way to get the

most out of life is

to look upon it

as an adventure.

William Feather

 Christmas magic is silent.

You don't hear it

- you feel it,

you know it,

you believe it. Kevin Alan Miller  

For one moment quit being sad.

Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you. Rumi

Appear as you are.

Be as you appear. Rumi

December Sing

A  L  O  H  A !

Honolulu - December 14, 6:05 pm

I heard a bird sing 

in the dark of December. 

A magical thing. And 

sweet to remember. 

We are nearer to Spring than 

we were in September. 

I heard a bird sing in 

the dark of December.

                         Oliver Herford

I’ve come to sing you 

a song called December.

        Ryan Murphy

Find out who you are 

and do it on purpose.

     Dolly Parton

Go find yourself first 

So you can also find me.

Long Walks

A  L  O  H  A !

Honolulu December

I like long walks, especially when 

they are taken by people 

who annoy me.

Going For A Ride

It's great to ride with you while 

you're taking care of business.

             Darryl Worley

Know yourself. 

Don't accept your dog's admiration 

as conclusive evidence that 

you are wonderful.     

Ann Landers

Interesting Fact: Ki`i, or Tiki, are

religious images of specific Polynesian

gods historically recognized by 

Polynesian cultures and people. 

What I see:

Tourist items such as these are like

seeing a wall of crucifixes with

different, decorative figures

nailed to them! Done innocently

but possibly jarring to some.

Money Song

A  L  O  H  A !

 “ Pilgrimage to 

the place of the wise 

is to find escape 

from the flame of 

separateness.” 


Rumi

" Your task is not

 to seek for Love,

 but merely to seek 

and find 

all the barriers 

within yourself that 

you have built 

against it. "

Rumi

“ To praise the sun 

is to praise 

your own eyes. ”

Today's song,

"Love Bites"
by Def Leopard,

came on 
the radio
this morning.

I knew it in 4 notes.

The flashbacks began
soon after.

Imperceptibly
my body rocked;
Sinuously.

Some things
you never forget.

New in Honolulu,
late 1980's,
parting that curtain
separating noon sun
from dank
strip club. . . .

Wasn't THIS
ALWAYS the song
playing? Look,
Savanna is on stage
not awake yet.

I flew in from Kona,
danced noon
to midnight
Friday & Saturday.

Had adventures
after hours
till early Sunday's
morning flight.

Made a lot 
of Kala
(money)
with that song!

Long may it
make me
wave!

If today's topic
"Cloudia stripping for money"
is news to you,
click on the book 
at the top of this blog
and read my whole,
very cool,
Hawaii story.

[ Hope I haven't
lost anyone!
But hey,
gotta speak my truth,
and at this age
I like to reminisce
about show biz dayz. ]

We just got to 
the illusive
500 Friends' Faces
in the sidebar.
!!!HooRaY!!!

Just in time
to  learn some truth
all from a song;

Thanks friends.
Please DO come back
tomorrow
when normal
uplifting
programing
continues.

Warmly, Desiree
er, I mean Cloudia
(heh heh)
