A L O H A From Honolulu!
Hope is optimism
with a broken heart.
Nick Cave
This mountain air
is quiet and still
Wind and bird songs
A sense of peace,
Gaze upon the tranquil scene,
A moment of serenity.
Pixie
“Remember,” says Hope,
“the times we felt low,
When the world seemed heavy,
and progress was slow?”
Optimism nods, “Yes,
But we learned
to embrace,
The beauty in struggle,
and all that we face.”
Pixie & Cloudia
Silent solemn skies
Draped in stardust gleam
Moonlit Angel legions
Murmur, dance, and dream.
On lunar light descend
Intimate longtime friends!
Cloudia Charters
The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.

Thank you and Pixie. When optimism seems pointless hope is a fragile essential.
Must be a bar that taps hope and optimism.
“Remember,” says Hope,
“the times we felt low, When the world seemed heavy,
and progress was slow..."
The day this is only a memory will be a glorious day. 🌻
I would imagine that hope and optimism would be in short supply in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, and other places around the world. Uplifting aphorisms are of little comfort as you bury your dead and watch your world smashed around you.
Your joint quote with pixie is so beautiful to read. I feel energised afterwards
Beautiful skies and a lovely moon capture!
Love your poem and Pixie's wise words.
Take care, enjoy your day!
...Get On Board!
Have an optimistically good day.
You have outdone yourself with your words and photos here today, Cloudia. Hope springs eternal!
It is a heavy world today, Cloudia.
Nice outrigger!
It is a fragile world. Thank you for visiting here as we all care and hope for a better tomorrow together. Aloha!
Beautiful words , Amazing Cityscape, sky, Moon pic, Greetings.
Loved this song. Helloo to Pixie :)
Beautiful. Love the quotes and love seeing Pixie. Love that video too. One of my favorites.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
Beautiful view, and your cat!
I love it that you and Pixie create poems together. Were today's poems the result of a hope-filled poetry slam? The Okinawan Festival looks like it will be fun. Hope to see some pictures in future posts...
So what do you suppose hope and optimism order as their drinks in a bar, or are they perhaps just there to inspire some poetry? I think I'd like to hear more of that tale of the visit to the bar...
The world needs hope. Nice poems, Cloudia and Pixie.
Cool moon shot. Yours?
The quote with you and Pixie is precious.
Lovely photos and quotes. Good song too :-D
Thanks Mike! Yes, all shots are mine unless otherwise credited. I do also use archive shots taken with other cameras at earlier times. Generally speaking, when I use an archive shot though, I freshen it up, recrop it, and do other adjustments as my vision has changed with time. Thanks for asking an interesting question
I so appreciate your comments. I've read every comment here at least twice today! Bless you friends. Aloha
I always love the photography and the quotes. I really love seeing Pixie.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
Loved the moon photo the best today!
A neat little bird.
