" The longer we dwell
on our misfortunes
the greater their power
to harm us. "
Voltaire
" For every minute
you are angry
you lose sixty seconds
of happiness. "
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Be happy.
It's one way
of being wise."
Colette
gesture, or action
on the part of a parent
gives the child some message
about self-worth.
It is sad that so many
parents don't realize
what messages they are sending. "
Virginia Satir

Thank YOU
Warmly, cloudia
After my posting today, I must tale Voltaire's words to mind. Cleansing is good.
ReplyDeletethanks for the wisdom, cloudia.
ReplyDeleteLove the hibiscus shot and quote.
ReplyDeleteBeloved ship, Kilauea
ReplyDeleteSea-roving steed that roams this ocean
Hauling back and forth, then the voyage home
Now Kilauea's prow heads into the wind
Smoke breaks from stack, ripples over the sea,
Paddle-wheel slowly revolves and
Passes Kala`au Point
Moloka`i up ahead
Lahaina yonder, awaiting freight
The Kilauea unloads cargo
At Pala`au
Heave-ho and shove down below
Like a flock of seabirds upon a waste of sand
A hungry horde races along this shore
Were it not for
Chief Kamehameha
The sheep would have no supplies or life
The shepherd, wise in matters of life
Kama`ipu`upa`a, the life-bringing kahuna
Now let his famished flock feed on
Olive leaves given with a King's love
This is the end of my song
In praise of Chief Kamehameha
