A L O H A From Honolulu!
You must not ever
stop being whimsical.
Mary Oliver
The secret of freedom
lies in educating people,
whereas the secret of tyranny
is in keeping them ignorant.
Maximilien Robespierre
Loving people and animals makes us stronger in the right ways and weaker in the right ways. Even if animals and people leave, even if they die, they leave us better. So we keep loving, even though we might lose, because loving teaches us and changes us.
Glennon Doyle Melton
Logic will get you
from A to B.
Imagination will
take you everywhere.
Albert Einstein
Etlingera elatior
also known as Torch Ginger
A blossom
like a moonlit pool,
Its petals
white as porcelain cool
In contrast to the darker world.
Cloudia
Moonlit pool of white,
Petals soft as porcelain,
Dark world's soft contrast.
Pixie
Winning is great, sure,
but if you are really going
to do something in life,
the secret is learning
how to lose.
Nobody goes undefeated
all the time.

Educating others is a form of freedom
Pixie has a way with words, like you!
Lovely images and an inspiring post.
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
I love when you share tropical blossoms that I've never seen, and then write a poem about them!
...thanks for the Coasters.
Pixie's furry puppy friends have some raccoon DNA peering out! Linda in Kansas
If it's a cuteness contest, the cat will always win :-)
Love the pups and the Torch Ginger shots, Cloudia.
A kid in the neighbourhood when I was a kid got the nickname Charlie Brown after that song came out. He is still known as Charlie even though his name is Richard. Fun memories. ;-)
I don't relate well to how some people don't like animals.
Kitties always find a way to outsmart us, don't they? Blessings, Cloudia!
Thanks Friends!
Pixie looks like she's challenging you to another poetry slam! She has winning on her mind, especially when the prize is catnip...
Great pictures! Pixie is adorable and the torch ginger looks amazing.
What a great street photo of the kids riding the bicycle rack. Fine spontaneous moment. Also enjoyed seeing your rainbow photo.
Great snippet from Mary Oliver.
Terrific.
Aloha, Cloudia! I saw a gorgeous rainbow two days ago and immediately thought of you. Thanks for the awesome quotes and images. Happy weekend!
Cute pups!
Growing up, we had a friend who rode a bicycle built for two with her partner.
