"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!

Warmly, cloudia
brilliant......someone has told me they like something I've written very much and I'm now floating....for today!!
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteCheers Cloudia!
The first one is a cracker, two rainbows, and the quote, lovely and funny.
ReplyDeleteOh I know what you mean! The problem I have: is it is hard to get the beauty without other things, OR people crowding round- :)
ReplyDeleteI love that first quote
ReplyDeletethe chanel quote made me laugh. love the double rainbow!
ReplyDeleteI 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'!!
ReplyDeleteThis is So fun! Thanks so much, each of YOU
ReplyDeleteOh my... Neo-liberalism will collapse under the subversive weight of your blog!
ReplyDeleteNice words. Good to appreciate simple abundance.
ReplyDeleteA double rainbow.. always so cool to see what you and your camera does.
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia! Very wise words- and I'm really swaying my like toward Coco's quotes-Peace be with you- Karen
ReplyDeleteI'm getting rid of stuff these days - a good feeling to lighten ones load. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of your very best, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteTruer words were never spoken, all words posted here today - especially yours! There's no freedom like traveling light!:)
ReplyDeleteBut how will I ever afford to visit Hawaii and see the beauty firsthand without a sizable bank account?
ReplyDeleteOver a year, I usually spend more money on tea than for clothes.
ReplyDeletePlease have you all a good weekend.
you folks are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteOops! 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.
