A L O H A From Honolulu!
You are so nice
I'll kiss you twice
Once in the morning
And one at night.
You are a child
and a sage.
I'll kiss you in youth
And again in old age.
Cloudia Charters
These hulls that danced
on ocean's crest,
Carry the weight
of every test,
In their knots,
legends keep,
Of journeys dared
and fate to meet.
Testament to starry lore,
In every knot, forevermore.
"On that first voyage, we were facing cultural extinction. There was no navigator from our culture left. The Voyaging Society looked beyond Polynesia to find a traditional navigator to guide Hōkūle‘a: Mau Piailug, a navigator from a small island called Satawal, in Micronesia. He agreed to come to Hawai‘i and guide Hōkūle‘a to Tahiti. Without him, our voyaging would never have taken place. Mau was the only traditional navigator who was willing and able to reach beyond his culture to ours."
The heart of a father is

Trees do indeed give peace to the soul. We need them.
That's beautiful, Cloudia. Thanks for sharing ❤️

...Trees give peace to the soul. Amen.
Trees have a good effect on us.
Interesting about the traditional navigator. We have met a man who knows these ancient ways — he also is a guide on National Geographic cruises that we have taken. One night on the ship in Polynesia he showed us the stars.
Your photos are lovely.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Love is what holds us together because God loved us first. Blessings, Cloudia!

As always what a nice posting again. Food for the thoughts.
Lovely post, Cloudia. ;-)
I'm completely awestruck by the celestial navigators of history, who somehow managed to connect between the vastness of ocean to the small habitable islands!
I love big beautiful twisty trees! Lovely quotes and photos today!
Your warm comments are the nicest way to start the day! Thanks each of you 😊
Beautiful photos, and great quotes!
Have a wonderful weekend!

The old age part has been here for a while.

And yes, I agree about fathers. :-)
