Honest Daylight

A L O H A From Honolulu!

What we achieve inwardly
will change outer reality.
   Plutarch 




Beyond the screen,
A world awaits,
Where sunlight gleams
All shadows abate.

No longer bound
By others’ views,
Spread your wings
Soar and choose.

Break free from shadows
Find your way,
To the Honest light of day.
   Cloudia & Pixie



Australian Tea Tree

Whoever is happy
will make others happy too.
Anne Frank



The female warrior knows how
to fight without violence.
She knows when not to
raise her sword, but
instead hold up her heart.
Her shield is not a defense
against others but
a shelter for all.

I try and spend more time outside rather than glued to a screen. Much more.

I love the Awamori lions; Pixie looks like she is an awamori lion, too. Your joint poem is totally awesome. Thanks for brightening my day!

The Australian tea tree is not particular attractive but it is very salt water resistant and tough, and can deal with bush fires. It was invaluable to our indigenous people.

Thank you Andrew

That Australian tea tree looks like his life was put through the wringer for a while but time does that to a life more often than not. Beautiful photo and beautiful lived-in tree.

That's the first photo of a tea tree I've seen. Now my olfactory memory is giving me the scent of tea tree oil again.

One of the real joys of being retired is the shift from being indoors most of the work day to being outdoors pretty much whenever I want to be. And relax!
