Fight For Change With Grace

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Anyone can be an idealist
Anyone can be a cynic.
The hard part lies
somewhere in the middle
i.e. being human.
 Hugh Macleod




I think that sadly over the last many years, there's been this kind of perverse approach to what strength looks like, which is to suggest that the measure of one's strength is based on who you beat down, instead of what we know: the true measure of your strength is based on who you lift up,
Kamala Harris






My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together.
Desmond Tutu



Ah, how good it feels!
The hand of an old friend.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Love You Friend!

Perhaps it dreams
of ocean blue,
Or maybe puddles, fresh and new.
A tiny Houdini
full of glee,
This water bottle escaped
and now is free!

Love that Kamala Harris quote.

Andrew said...

Miss Harris is proving to be a rather good candidate with her very wise words.

roentare said...

Kamala quote is very nice to read. I just dont get to see many press about her apart from insults

Kamala is shaking up the race. I just hope she can come from behind to overtake the lead tRump has.

I love that freed water bottle. You are SO clever. Thanks for this great addition to T this week, dear Cloudia and Pixie!

Good start of the week.

...bottled water is an ecological disaster.

RedPat said...

It is sad to see a discarded bottle. I agree with Tom above.

Kathy G said...

Lovely thoughts to start the week.

Great quotes and photos.
Take care, have a great day and happy week ahead.

Barbara Rogers said...

Oh Pixie! Either she's about to fall asleep, or is very upset about something (which of course is just a human interpretation of that lowered brow!)

Sharon said...

That Kamala Harris quote it perfect.

Mike said...

Did you send money to Kamala? I did.

Martha Jane Orlando said...

Once again, gorgeous photos and thoughts, Cloudia. Blessings!

A wonderful statement from Kama Harris. I hope so much that she is able to stop the man who apparently wants to abolish elections and establish a dictatorship of lies.
Soft pets to sweet Pixie!
Hugs and all the best, Traude

I love the quotes from Kamala Harris and Desmond Tutu. I like the quote that you paired with today's shot of our beautiful Pixie. That water bottle poem is wonderful!

I love the fireworks and also that sky. And that Kamala Harris quote is so true. It's a good one, and I wish people would recognized was real strength is. Have a super T day.

I hope that people listen to and then vote for Kamala Harris.

Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to Pixie. ♥

Lisca said...

Great quotes. I had to look up Kamala Harris. But I hope she becomes president. We could do with a woman in that position especially as the alternative is appalling.
A belated happy T-Day,
Lisca
