A L O H A From Honolulu!
Sun-kissed skin,
etched with brine calligraphy,
Silver hair, a crown
of well earned bravery.
No longer chasing giants
with youthful might,
He dances with mastered skill
and joy on waves of fading light.

Stone gaze softens, sternness fades,
A lei of blooms, in festive shades.
Lunar New Year paints the air,
Guardian lion, enjoying the fair.

Lunar New Year paints the air,
Guardian lion, enjoying the fair.
The lion welcomes, fierce yet kind,
Blessings shared for all to find.
Silent sentinel, wise and old,
Whispers blessings, brave and bold.

Never cease to stand

Einstein's quote makes me wonder. Beginning of life is beyond what we can discover
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful words with which to start the week.

ReplyDeleteAnother blog that blown does my head in, absolutely stunning Cloudia. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreat words for starting the week. Love the sunset surfer, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteLove the sunset surfer poem, and the one celebrating the lion and the lei. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCuriosity is great, as long as you're not a cat.
ReplyDeleteLot of sunshine around in your part of the world and also in the quotes.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the second picture I expected the theme from Ghostbusters to break out.
ReplyDeleteI'm 72 and act like I'm 12. I'm happy about that.
ReplyDeleteI always love seeing Pixie.

What a wonderful surfer sunset and poem. I also loved the Lunar New Year with the lion and his lei. Just beautiful, as is Pixie and your new blog header. That is quite a balancing act. It's a good thing the glass is apparently empty. Thanks for this awesome entry for T this week, dear Cloudia. I hope you and Pixie have a super day, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the women and girls in traditional dress from 2018. I haven’t been to Hawaii for a while, but a couple of times we saw dance performances and traditional singing with traditional dress and it was wonderful.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Peekaboo kitty in the first photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us this week at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2024/02/le-hostellerie-des-trois-pigeons.html
I love that new header a lot. What a cool photo of (I'm assuming) Pixie. And I also love that quote about not growing old. It's true our bodies age, but we don't have to become an "old" person. Thanks for another beautiful post, and happy T day Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteLovely captures and captions! The header is a visual stealer!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice post with lovely photos and quotes. Have a very nice day today.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quotes and Pixie really shines. Happy T Day
ReplyDeletePixie enjoys sun puddles.
ReplyDeleteThe words, the photos are all just so beautiful this week, but it is those cat eyes peeping through the mesh. I was at my friend's house the other day and her cat climbed into an empty bag and turned round to peep out...I wish I had a cat still. Happy T Day, Chrisx
