Vast And Cheer

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Dad & Daughter

Hand in hand
feeling grand
Off the cement
in touch
with the land
Memories are built
of this
Trust for the future
Possibilities of bliss.

Throughout the years
Her soul can again
Return to her
early mornings
Walking along
with him.
Cloudia Charters


Symphony Skies

Most symphonies, however, are wordless. They are built only of tones, nonlinguistic sounds vibrating in the air, and somehow, we take them to heart and feel that they speak to us more deeply than words ever could.
M.T. Anderson.
Symphony for the City of the Dead




Golden Shower Tree Flower
You don’t get in life what you want; you get in life what you are. Les Brown


Best Friends
Grand adventures need not roam, Vastness is found close to home. Stretch your mind
let wonder bloom,
No fortune spent
to chase the moon.

Craving vastness, don't despair, Grand adventures
hide right there.
Whispers in a
hidden space. Walks on sand,
a friendly face,

Friendly eyes
and open mind,
Expansive moments there to find. Walk beneath
a starlit sky, Wander where
the wild things lie.

For vastness hides
in plainest sight, Awaiting you with pure delight.
Cloudia Charters



Don't forget to
enjoy the game.
George H. W. Bush & Pixie

Oh goodness, Pixie has an expression of please give me some love! She's such a sweet kitty, and your photo of a father and his little girl is beautiful as are the two walking the beach. Moments together. Aloha to you and Pixie too, and give her a hug from me too!

Did you happen to see my last post, Cloudia? I used the exact same quote from G. H. W. Bush! Is it a small world, or what?
I so enjoyed your father/daughter poem, too. Blessings!

Is Kittybunny Pixie's super hero identity? What kind of games does she play? I would love to take to the stars with her... Glorious post today!

Cute mural. I love M T Anderson. I read that book about Leningrad. It's harrowing at times. Very different to his children's books. I know a LOT about Shostakovich now....(except maybe how to spell his name?) #MuralMondays
