Double Rainbow
" The safe way to double
your money
is to fold it over once
and put it in your pocket. "
Kin Hubbard
" Joy all creatures drink
At nature's bosoms..."
Friedrich von Schiller,
"Ode to Joy," 1785
" As soon as you set foot
on a yacht
you belong to some man,
not to yourself,
and you die
of boredom. "

"Wai" is Hawaiian
for water,
it also
for water,
it also
means "Wealth"
when doubled:
when doubled:
"Wai Wai"
and Fish SWIM
in it!
But do they OWN
the ocean?
What do you
REALLY need
to own
to be happy?
Good research shows,
that beyond the basics
happiness is independent
of the size of your
bank account.
Every day
my eyes own
the treasures of
Hawaii.
You too dwell
in beauties
as your photos
abundantly show!

brilliant......someone has told me they like something I've written very much and I'm now floating....for today!!
Great write Cloudia! This time it's a plea that I share. To be thankful for what Mother earth has bestowed upon us. Nicely!

Counting one's blessings is more valuable than counting one's coins.
Cheers Cloudia!
The first one is a cracker, two rainbows, and the quote, lovely and funny.
Oh I know what you mean! The problem I have: is it is hard to get the beauty without other things, OR people crowding round- :)
I love that first quote
the chanel quote made me laugh. love the double rainbow!
I always knew there was a little French in me, Coco Chanel et moi are on the same wavelength haha! Have a wonderful weekend Cloudia, don't buy any 'stuff'!!
This is So fun! Thanks so much, each of YOU
Oh my... Neo-liberalism will collapse under the subversive weight of your blog!
Nice words. Good to appreciate simple abundance.
A double rainbow.. always so cool to see what you and your camera does.
Aloha Cloudia! Very wise words- and I'm really swaying my like toward Coco's quotes-Peace be with you- Karen
I'm getting rid of stuff these days - a good feeling to lighten ones load. :)
One of your very best, Cloudia.
Truer words were never spoken, all words posted here today - especially yours! There's no freedom like traveling light!:)
But how will I ever afford to visit Hawaii and see the beauty firsthand without a sizable bank account?
Over a year, I usually spend more money on tea than for clothes.
Please have you all a good weekend.
you folks are the BEST!
I can't tell you the pleasure I get from your smart A** remarks!
Thanks SO much :)
But my little prizes from Hawaii help keep me sane in Kansas, because they remind me of the free things, the beach, the sounds, the perfume, the voices of friends. Save me some rainbows and clouds. DrumMajor
Oops! But I am going to the Richardson garage sale tomorrow. I can't help myself. Unlesssss... it rains. It's storming over here right now. Great double rainbow, Cloudia.
