A L O H A From Honolulu!
Tempest in the mind,
Destructive and unkind.
From chaos choice emerges
To quell, to seek, to find.
Peaceful shore forevermore.
Accepting
What remains in store
Balance is a gentle hold,
Sanctuary of calm
More precious than gold.
Choosing tranquility
My conscious art,
To soothe the soul
And mend a wounded heart.
Cloudia Charters
I will love the light
for it shows me
the way, yet
I will endure the
darkness because
it shows me the stars.

Sometimes when you lose your
way in the fog, you end up
in a beautiful place!
Don’t be afraid...

Strelitzia nicolai, the wild banana or giant white bird of paradise, is a species of banana-like plants with erect woody stems reaching a height of 7–8 m (23–26 ft), and the clumps formed can spread as far as 3.5 m (11 ft).

Few delights can equal
the mere presence of
one whom we
trust utterly.

"Accepting what remains in store"
This is going to be really tough to do.

That first poem beautiful and passing for the situation at hand. As always great quotes and photo's. Thank you for that.
Beautiful words and images! Take care, have a great day!

I didn't realize that the bird of paradise and banana plants were distant botanical cousins.
Well, rather than despair, I'm close though, but I'm just enjoying looking at pictures, listening to music, doing simple tasks. Not thinking.
What a delightful, soothing post.
Great quotes today, Cloudia. That shot of Pixie is awesome, but I feel more like the little cat behind the bars. Love the choice of song, too.
Love that white bird of paradise plant. I don't think I have ever seen one.
Wow! What a beautiful post. Have a nice day today.
I loved your poem, Cloudia, and the photo of the rainbow in the clouds is stunning. Blessings!
A soothing post, dear Cloudia. ;-)
Happy Thursday
Much♡love
Not easily done but beautifully stated ... caring but not despairing. :)

Good sky.
I listened to video both videos. I listened to music that calmed my heart and soul. Now it is time to go make a cup of tea and savor the moments in peace.
Great poem Claudia!!
It's a joy to see Pixie here every week.
