Palace To Park

 A L O H A From Honolulu!
Iolani Palace Honolulu

Be the things
you love the most
about the people
who came before.



Sun-kissed canvas, fallen low,
Veins like rivers, secrets flow.
Amber firefly glows within,
A whispered world, always been.

Tiny palace, crisp and dry,
Where whispered tales of seasons lie.
 Emerald laughter Summer day
The leaf remembers, then away!



Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and they cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself, and you can change your life.
   Bruce Lee



The best way to become
a better person
is to pretend you
already are one.

I like the idea of becoming a better person by pretending I am. Thank you. And I would much prefer a park to a palace - even a small one.

Does it get cold enough for hot pots on Hawaii, or do they run the A/C super cold?? Pixie doesn't think she needs to fake it till she makes it because she is already positively perfect in every way just because she's a magical cat...

Cloudia said...

Hot pot is popular in Honolulu. And yes, pixie is almost as perfect as she thinks she is. I love your point of view E.C.

Your poem makes me shiver a bit. What a touchy and profound piece of art to read.

Looks like those two were running after you. Did you get away!

I use self-deprecating humour often. Bruce Lee would not approve. 😁

RedPat said...

Love that last statement, Cloudia.

Cloudia said...

Thank you dear friends!
Pixie is right here and we are wishing each of you a good year ahead. With gratitude and Aloha!

Aloha Cloudia, thank you so much for your incredible wisdom and lovely captures, and being a fellow blogger which I am putting together a gigantic push to being back on social media more than what time I had this last month. My work is not as hectic which always happens with overtime and the holiday seasons. Gosh we already have Valentine's Day stuff for sale! Happy New Year to us all and to all jollier mpments and laughter! Love you Pixie too, take care, from me.
