A L O H A From Honolulu!
The Power of One
One tree can start a forest.
One smile can begin a friendship;
One hand can lift a soul;
One word can frame the goal;
One candle can wipe out darkness;
One laugh can conquer gloom;
One hope can raise your spirits;
One touch can show you care;
One life can make the difference,
BE THAT ONE TODAY.

Our Differences
are ever at war
with our Commonalities.
Be careful which you feed!

The door to safety swings
on the hinges
of common sense.

Democracy is messy
but deeply beautiful.

There never was
any heart truly
great and generous,
that was not also
tender and
compassionate.

Smiles, understanding, a gentle heart,
Kindness sown, a healing start!
Competence gleams in steady hand,
Guiding justice across the land.
The contrast stark, a bitter brew,
Mean spirit’s chill, a toxic cue.
Chaos reigns in wild unrest,
Troubled minds and wounded breasts.
One builds, inspires hopes and dreams,
A tapestry of golden gleams.
The other tears down, seeks to maim,
A darkened world their haunting claim.
The tempest rages, dark and deep,
Mean-spiritedness spreads
a cruel sleep.
Chaos reigns and wild unrest,
His troubled mind and vacant chest.
So battle wages, deep within,
Between the angel and the sin.
For in our hearts this choice resides,
Where virtue dwells or evil hides.

Be careful which one you feed indeed.

As always, I enjoyed your choices of quotes and photos. Pats to Pixie!
Wonderful shots.
May God give us all the discernment to separate good from evil in our time and for all generations to come. Something that seems good at first glance may be deceitful in dangerous ways.
Blessings, Cloudia!
Pixie is definitely looking compassionate and loving today. That picture of Kamala as Godzilla is hilarious!
Democracy has been extremely messy for the past 8 years or so.
Beautiful shots, Cloudia.
