Soothe Mend

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. 
                   Og Mandino



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




 
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. 
              George MacDonald

  4. I didn't realize that the bird of paradise and banana plants were distant botanical cousins.

  5. Well, rather than despair, I'm close though, but I'm just enjoying looking at pictures, listening to music, doing simple tasks. Not thinking.

  6. 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.
