A L O H A From Honolulu!
We live in an era where people
demonize rather than engage
their opponents, content to bludgeon
critics rather than win them over.
Our adversaries are not our enemies;
the law is not a political weapon,
objective truths do exist;
fair process is essential
in civilized society.
Preet Bihara
Christian, Jew, Muslim, shaman,
Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain,
river, each has a secret way of
being with the mystery, unique
and not to be judged
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
Cultivating a close, warm-hearted
feeling for others
automatically puts the mind at ease.
It helps remove whatever fears
or insecurities we may have
and gives us the strength to
cope with any obstacles we encounter.
It is the ultimate source of
success in life.
Dalai Lama
On our own we glitter…
TOGETHER WE SHINE!

Photographer sees pictures everywhere.
Poet hears poetry in words everyday.
Wanderers find wonders,
Grudge collectors their reasons.
Quitters find excuses in all seasons.

ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
Thank you for the truth and beauty you share.
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes today. Love your poem and the picture of Pixie glittering and shining with love, beauty, and mystery.
ReplyDeleteThank you
ReplyDeleteYour quotes are the soul cleansing rituals
ReplyDeleteIf only everyone were not so convinced of their own rightness.
ReplyDelete...life is often a mystery.
ReplyDeleteWRT your first item, there is such flagrant stupidity about that it is really hard to be tolerant. I mean, just think about the chemtrails nonsense. I run out of patience.
ReplyDeleteThe world doesn't feel like people will ever get along with each other, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to read each of you. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI love the first shot the very best. Pixie is the most beautiful kitty too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week, Cloudia. Scritches to Pixie. ♥

I love Pixie's golden eyes...shiny and full of knowledge that only cats perceive. Such awareness!

ReplyDeleteMarvelous quotes and equally marvelous photos my dear friend. Happy week to you and Pixie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fabulous post and photos.
ReplyDeleteDelightful captures and loved your concluding wisdom!
ReplyDeleteHow sad that we would rather bludgeon our opponents than try to win them over by seeing their side of the argument. Absolutely awesome words and photos. Love the poem you wrote. You are a bright star in a darkening universe, dear Cloudia. Thanks for sharing and joining us for T this Tuesday, dear.
ReplyDeletePixie always makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteYour observations of our sad society are very penetrating, We do have problems with civility.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Lovely post Cloudia. I love that last quote. Is that one of yours? There's too many complainers and grungers out there for certain. Have a wonderful T day. Erika
ReplyDeleteYes, the final quote today is mine. Thank you so much for noticing, Erika
DeleteIf only we could live up to the higher standards and shine. Pixie looks so wise. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteThanks so much my dear friends. And we do it all for you!
ReplyDeleteYes, sadly, this is very true….. We live in an era where people
ReplyDeletedemonize rather than engage
their opponents, content to bludgeon
critics rather than win them over.
Our adversaries are not our enemies;
the law is not a political weapon,
objective truths do exist;
fair process is essential
in civilized society.
