Aloha From Honolulu!
Listen to your heart.
It knows all things,
because it came from
the Soul of the World
and it will one day
return there.
Paulo Coelho
In quiet calm
We can find peace,
Alert, aware
We never cease
To hold the world
Within our care
By simple refusal
To despair.

Phoenix
A heart filled with love is
like a phoenix that no cage
can imprison.

Gratitude
for the present moment and
the fullness of life now
is the true prosperity.

Hiding Ducky
In the bushes,
This duck hides low,
With feathers muted
But a sly little glow.
She thinks she’s so clever
Quiet and still,
But a twitch of her head
Betrays her pretty bill.
With a flap and a quack
She jumps out with glee,
“I’m not very good
At hiding, you see!”
Pixie
You write the most wonderful poems, Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteI'm working hard at not despairing by not listening to the news as much.
Thank you very much Kay. We will get through this together. Aloha from townside
DeleteLove both yours and Pixie's poems. And always delight in Rumi's words.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful post. The quotes and the gecko photo are especially nice.
ReplyDeleteYour poem is lovely, inspiring words.
ReplyDeleteLove your sweet Pixie and the Gecko.
Cute capture of the duck hiding.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
The poem is always beautiful from you
ReplyDeleteIt gives me great pleasure to know that, on the other side of the world, there is someone who fervently appreciates a poet whose texts move me.I also really like the texts you put online and the one you seem to have written.
ReplyDelete...simple is often best.
ReplyDeletePixie's tongue -- that is all.
ReplyDeleteA lovely post, Cloudia. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCute Pixie!
ReplyDeleteOh how yummy is Pixie's kibble (or whatever cat food is called, because kibble makes me think of dog food)...and the poetry and photos...all delicious today!
ReplyDeleteI love the cute little gecko .
ReplyDeleteYour poem (and Pixie's) are lovely, Cloudia. Some of us ducks just aren't as clever as we might think!
ReplyDeleteWe appreciate your visits so much. Thanks for your great comments too!
ReplyDeleteIs Pixie sticking her tongue out at you? Or is that a comment on the food?
ReplyDeleteI like the semi-hidden duck! And Pixie, and the gecko for that matter! Hope all is well in these strange times.
ReplyDeletecheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
Eckhart Tolle is a font of wisdom!
ReplyDeleteDoes Pixie pounce on the duck when it jumps out of its hiding place, or does she just silently watch and twitch her tail?
ReplyDeleteLovely pics. Just a gentle reminder that #FavouriteFotos is for posts over 2 years old.
ReplyDeleteAh! I misunderstood that the photos must all be from the files older than 2 years. Which all of these are. Thank you for setting me right. Have a beautiful week! Aloha
