A L O H A From Honolulu!
Sometimes it is dark.
But the sun is faithful.

Lei Makers
E lei kau, e lei ho`oilo i ke aloha
Love is worn like a Lei
through the seasons.
Hawaiian Proverb
Cultivate love and kindness
in a child to sow the
seeds of compassion.
And only then you will build
a great civilization, a great nation.

Light-Bearing Hibiscus
🪷
Within the stillness
where storms subside
A quiet strength
And steady spirit lies.
This inner power
like a deep well soothes
Centers, grounds you
Fountain of youth.
Wellspring of wisdom
Beyond time and space.
Becomes more familiar
than a well-loved face. -
- From this calm center
roots must spread,
Silent language teaching
Anxieties are shed.
The world around you
Runs on stress and strife,
But in your self you harbor
Invincible blossoming life.

Great quote cultivate love and compassion in children.
I also liked your poem Clοudia:
in yourself lies invincible blooming life, how beautiful!
Have a great day🌼!
The hibiscus photo is a thing of great beauty.
There are some great photos in this post, especially the sunrise/sunset photo and the duck pond reflections.
The "Son" is always shining in my heart. Blessings, Cloudia!
...the Keiki are cute.
Here's to inner blossoming.
Loved the phrase, "inner power like a deep well soothes..." Thank you for your creativity in photography and poetry.
Love the proverb of love and a lei, Cloudia. ;-)
Thanks friends!

Thanks for showing us the lei makers. I had never considered how they get produced. Your poem is wonderful. Pixie is demonstrating being centered and compassionate today.
Gorgeous sunset! #Skywatch

Amazing colours.
Amazing colours.

Nice poem. I envy those that have the talent to write.
Worth a Thousand Words
nice skyshot
A spectacular sky in that first shot.
Your pictures are wonderful and always with appropriate quotes. I think some forgot to teach kindness to their children because compassion is not prevalent here in the USA, sorry to say. But then there is Pixie, who always makes me smile 😍 Happy Spring, Claudia ...
