Let The Beauty

A L O H A From Honolulu!


If you are irritated by
every rub, how will
your mirror be polished?
Rumi




Set fire to
the broken pieces;
start anew.
Lauren DeStefano




Deep feelings always mean more 
than they are capable  of saying.
                 Albert Camu






Let the beauty we love
be what we do. 
Rumi




Under my wings
find solace and grace
A refuge from storms
Our own tranquil space
Whispers of fidelity
Gently caress
All worries are lulled
In sweet, gentle rest.
Cloudia Charters

Thank you so much for the beauty you share in each and every post.

Cool shots of the clouds. I love your poem and the shot of Pixie on the prowl. Daniel Inouye was a senator when I was an intern in the Senate. He was a conscientious politician. Glad he has a center in his name.

Deep feelings should never be studied in haste.

Hope all is well.

Your sky images, flowers and plants are always a treat to see.

I was interested in the Daniel Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for security studies and went to their link. A good idea! I wonder how they reacted to the CrowdStrike-Microsoft blitz day before yesterday. It would be an interesting topic for them to cover, I'm thinking. But will they publish anything? Not sure.

The mural looks almost like a projection onto water because of the background. Love the sunset. #MuralMonday
