A L O H A From Honolulu!
How lovely are the portals
of the night, when stars
come out to watch
the daylight die.
Thomas Cole
Never wish them pain.
That's not who you are.
If they cause you pain,
they must have pain inside.
Wish them healing.
That's what they need

Humility does not require
that you are blind to
your own excellence.
What matters is to be open
to the value of others as well.

A laugh is a smile
that bursts.

when I have pains,
I don’t have to be one.

Always laugh when you can,

Cloudia & Pixie
May love and peace
spread and heal.
May it start with a
quiet joy you
allow yourself to feel.
At first I thought Pixie had pricked up her ears because she wanted to be a royal poinciana, but then I saw the gecko below her, and I realized that she is greeting a good friend. Wishing you a happy, silly day full of love and laughter.
ReplyDeleteThank you both. Muchly.
ReplyDeleteGood quotes to go for a walk this afternoon. Hope to laugh a lot.
ReplyDeletePixie looks quite alert.
ReplyDeleteA laugh is a smile that burst is wonderful! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou always find great quotes! The bursting smile is so cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much 🌿
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely pictures and quotes. I recall as a child we had a row of Royal Poinciana trees along our property. Maybe a dozen or so. And they drop seed pods. My dad said he would pay me a nickel a dozen if I picked up the seed pods. I did. He owed me about twenty bucks! I think he was a bit surprised. :) Thanks for sharing this beauty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for more wonderful quotes and images.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo of the trees is lovely....#FloralFridayFoto
ReplyDeleteRoyal Poinciana is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you sharing these wonderful photos and words. What a great place to live ❤️🤩
ReplyDeleteGreat photos and quotes!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
The Poinciana is gorgeous! Love the quote about the laugh.
ReplyDeleteHi Cloudia. With every photo all I could think is WOW! Such beauty. Thank you for joining FFO and have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour trees are magnificent as are the sayings, though I take exception to not wishing some people pain, because some people who cause so much pain deserve to hurt and I can think of one world leader who deserves worse than pain (Sorry, I pray for Ukraine). Pixie has spotted something ... that alert expression tells me it may be edible, Ha! Love your posts, Claudia ...
