Silently Growing πŸ’™

A L O H A From Honolulu!
Happiness, not in 
another place 
but this place,
not for another hour, 
but this hour.
          Walt Whitman





A seed grows with no sound,
but a tree falls
with a huge noise.
Destruction has noise, but
creation is quiet.
This is the power of silence.
Grow Silently.
  Confucius



Sunlit center, warm and bright,
Beacon in the gentle breeze,
Splash of color, pure delight,
Floral Gift to bring you peace. 
       From Pixie & Cloudia


John 'Zap' Zapotocky, Age 91

The duty of happiness 
becomes clearer 
when we see how
it affects others.
 It is the merry heart
 that makes . . . 
other hearts merry. 
The sunny soul 
brings sunshine
 everywhere. 
A bright and happy temperament
 is a great social asset, 
adding to the happiness 
of the world. 
   Hugh Black





When pure sincerity 
forms within,
 it is outwardly realized 
in other people's hearts.
 Lao Tzu

Good for John 'Zap' Zapotocky, but no paddle boards for me. Sue's photo prompt for the day is jumping, but no one in this house can jump, and that includes the cat.

Hello
Beautiful images and words. The flower and your poem is lovely.
Wow and kudos to the 91 year old man on the paddleboard.
Take care, have a great day and happy weekend!

Does a tree make a noise when it falls in the woods and... Yes, yes it does!

Happiness is in the moment, not in the some day. Blessings, Cloudia!
