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 Camus
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.

Thank you so much for the beauty you share in each and every post.
ReplyDeleteCool 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.
ReplyDeleteDeep feelings should never be studied in haste.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well.

That design in the final photo is very nicely done. Good work, Daniel.

ReplyDeleteCat's floor is really reflecting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of photos.
ReplyDeleteYour sky images, flowers and plants are always a treat to see.
I enjoyed your poem too. Take care, enjoy your day and have a great week!
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.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Friends 🐱
ReplyDeleteA thoughtful post, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat shimmering floor makes Pixie look like she's illuminated, too. Wow!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Cloudia!
The mural looks almost like a projection onto water because of the background. Love the sunset. #MuralMonday
