A L O H A From Honolulu!
Sunrise hues, a painted sky,
A child's laughter, soaring high.
The rain's soft song, a gentle drum,
The warmth of love,
where hearts are one.
Cloudia
Everything needed
for a good life is
wherever people are.
Cloudia
Savor moments big and small,
Let worries go then watch them fall.
With open heart, dear grateful soul,
In every breath let joy unfold.
Cloudia
If you suddenly
and unexpectedly
feel joy,
don't hesitate.
Give in to it.
Mary Oliver

ReplyDeleteThe flowers and sunrise are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the quotes and your sweet Pixie!
Take care, have a great day!
Mary Oliver has some good advice.
ReplyDelete...you summed it up well.
ReplyDeleteLove the Girl from Ipanema. Can I borrow your quote about letting go of worries?
ReplyDeletePixie looks relaxed.
ReplyDeleteBravo to Mary Oliver. Love your poems, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Friends!
ReplyDeleteAloha Cloudia, absolutely spot on and I'll add animals to that list as well! A day spent with friends even those furry ones is a day well spent. It's always a treat to stop by and get a dose of your love! Thank you, sweet lady aloha, to Pixie too!
ReplyDeleteLove this post. I haven't heard that song since I was a kid. It used to play on my mom's favorite radio station. That picture of Pixie definitely gave me sudden and irrepressible joy, as did the Cloudia quotes! Have a glorious day!
ReplyDeleteFOr some reason I was getting blocked on your comments on the link up but it works fine when I google searched you. It gets weirder and weirder, the internet. Anyway, lovely post and I love the Mary Oliver quote....#FloralFridayFoto
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I so enjoyed your poetry, Cloudia. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI like your poems, creative as you are.
ReplyDeleteThe kids in the one photo are a hoot!
Lovely captures and marvelous captions!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors in P1.
ReplyDeleteThat first quote is my favorite today :) All photos and words, very enjoyable. Thanks Cloudia and a Happy March to you my friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and interesting post. I love Pixie's face today and the mother and children were great for Nicole's FFO.
ReplyDeleteAloha
ReplyDeleteToday at ART FOR FUN FRIDAY
Much♡love
Have a joyful March 🌞🌱🌺
ReplyDeleteYes! Give in to joy!
ReplyDeleteYou always know what to post. Some kind of instinct. I really like this photo of Pixie too. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a very nice day.
ReplyDeleteWhen she walks, she's like a samba... such beautiful lyrics!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular sunrise.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
gorgeous sunrise colors
ReplyDeleteI saw a beautiful rainbow over Waikiki about an hour ago. It was a full bow like your lovely capture. You shared personal quotes full of meaning. "The Girl from Ipanema" is a classic. Aloha, Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a busy weekend, so I'm late from Friday. Lovely photos Cloudia. And I like the quote about savouring time. Time is like a good wine except instead of just sipping it you drink the whole bottle to celebrate living. Happy March.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. There are wonderful words. Thank you for sharing.
