A L O H A From Honolulu!
True progress quietly
and persistently moves
along without notice.
Francis de Sales
Facts which at first seem
improbable will, even on
scant explanation, drop the
cloak which has hidden them
and stand forth in
naked and simple beauty.
Galileo Galilei
You don't have to swim across a river dodging bullets. You don't have to race in an ambulance to the scene of an emergency. Bless those who do! But bless those too who simply keep the good and the true alive in their hearts.
Where it radiates throughout
their lives and acts.
There are many forms of heroism
and they all have their place.

Age is giving me
the two best gifts:
softness and illumination

I have always believed, and
I still believe, that whatever good
or bad fortune may come our way
we can always give it meaning and
transform it into something of value.

That last picture of leaf with a side of toe is awesome. I like the message of this blog post and the fact that Pixie is calling us to transform all things into something for good, to spread love and light throughout the universe. (Of course, we will do it with fewer fur balls than she does, but we will learn all the same...)
ReplyDeleteThe veins of the leaf reveal another world
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of photos.
ReplyDeleteThe first sky shot is lovely and I like the dramatic sky capture.
Pixie is always adorable.

ReplyDeleteLove that tree, Cloudia. It seems to be dancing. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping what is good and true alive in your heart and in your pics!

Oh that leaf is amazing. I really like the photo of the tree too. However, as a retired Vet Tech you don't know how I want to shake people who put dogs in storllers. So wrong on so many levels.
ReplyDeleteAs for Pixie, just as cute as ever.
Beautiful blog

ReplyDeleteI agree that there are many forms of heroes and heroism, Cloudia. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThat is a pampered dog in that third photo. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWe all have different roles in life and can do our bit whatever it entails.
ReplyDeleteInspiring, as ever.
ReplyDeleteWe always try to find some good or a lesson to learn from things that happen to us, especially the not so good things. Great quotes again!

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, gorgeous naked tree :) And is that you walking the dogs in a baby buggy? Cute, cute, cute ... Leave it to Pixie to be the wise one. She spreads the truth, if only everyone would listen. Have another Happy and wise week, Claudia ...

I love the quote by Anne L. and her words ring true! Thank you for linking up.
ReplyDeleteOh the doggies in the carriage....reminds me of when I had my two old pug dogs...I put them in a baby carriage when I walked them around! They had such trouble walking and seeing too! Very cute! ♥
