Warrior Not Worrier

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Remember
We are not given a challenge
we can't overcome.

The reason most people break
down is that they put most of
the energy into the problem
instead of the solution.

Let's get into warrior mode
not worrier mode!
Gedale Fenster



The Crown-flower queen, In robes of lilac blue With her stems of attendants, And Bees, around her head. The little bees are glad, For they know that she is good, And the Crown-flower is happy, In their neighborhood
Together they endure
In harmony and peace.
The crown herself is crowned
By her golden bees.
Cloudia Charters



The greatest illusion of
modern society is that freedom
is purely individualistic, when in
reality, our freedom is deeply
interconnected with the
well-being of everyone. @berniegirl67_3


The longer I live, the more deeply
I learn that love, whether we call it
friendship or family or romance, is
the work of mirroring and magnifying
each other's light. Gentle work.
Steadfast work. Life-saving work
in those moments when life and
shame and sorrow occlude our own light
from our view, but there is still a
clear-eyed loving person to beam it back.
In our best moments, we are that
person for another. James Baldwin

Loved your bee poem today, but had to look up Crown Flower, to see other images. It's a new one to me, and quite lovely!

Lovely crown flower poem.I have never seen a crown flower. I had to look it up. It's very pretty.
And I thought Pixie was looking rather stern.

I love the reflection! It's cool that you're reflected next to The Hiroshima to Honolulu Friendship Torii.

We do tend to get caught up in our problems rather than solutions! Wonderful post.
