A L O H A From Honolulu!
Sun sinks low, escaped the cold,
Shoes kicked off his story unfolds.
Cups of tea whisper peace,
Muscles loosen worries released.
No deadlines to chase
nor tasks remain,
Just the slow hush
of falling rain.
Inhale the calm!

When you get into
a tight place and everything
goes against you, till it seems
as though you could not
hang on a minute longer,
never give up then, for that is just
the place and time that
the tide will turn.

| Pelodiscus sinensis / Chinese SoftShell Turtle |
Soft shell, gentle soul,
Glides through water,
smooth and whole.
No hard shell, no need to hide,
Wisdom flows from deep inside.
Patience in her watchful eyes,
Sees secrets dance beneath the skies.
Softly speaks to those who hear,
Find peace within, and have no fear.
Unfold your own myth.

Much as I love Rumi I have no idea what my own myth looks or sounds like...
Absolutely beautiful, Cloudia. I am having some calm for now and enjoying the peace. I'd like to wish you and yours a fabulous new year. I can just imagine the show you'll see from where you are.
Santa, Mrs. Claus, and Pixie all have the right idea... Kick back and enjoy like a Chinese turtle basking in the sun!!
Amazing photos and captions!
Lovely post as always. Hope unfurls in a brand new year. Wishing you a year filled with peace, love, and light!
Such a beautiful series of poems!
Lovely post Cloudia, the poems and images.
Cute turtle and Pixie always looks adorable.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a safe and happy weekend.
Best wishes for a Happy New Year! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Pixie is quite at ease.
...I like Mrs Claus' muumuu!
I have felt like I've been in that tight place...but it should turn soon. What a perfect quote for me!
Loved the Dickenson quote...had to read it through twice, and noticed my shoulders release by the second time...thanks. Those Santa figures are so cute. It's always good to see your photos and quotes here. I often stop to see them daily, but this is probably the first time I've commented. (I tend to lurk I guess.)
It's good to see Santa & Mrs Claus relaxing, Cloudia. ;-)
Hanging on is about all that we can sometimes and maybe even often.
Loved the quotes and the poems, Cloudia, not to mention the photos. Blessings!
Have you ever seen Jimmy Durante's ghost hanging around the Calabash Tree?
"Find peace within, and have no fear."
EXCELLENT advice.
This is a good start for my year looking upon your quotes. Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
