A L O H A From Honolulu!
The true purpose of education
is to teach one to carry oneself
triumphant to the sunset.
Liberty Hyde Bailey
Spathoglottis plicata
In a world of green,
a splash of delight,
This happy little flower,
so bright.
Yellow petals,
sunshine's embrace,
Mauve accents,
a touch of grace.
Petals unfurl, like
a butterfly's wings,
Dancing in the breeze,
while sunbeams sing.
You fill the air
with fragrance sweet,
A symphony of color,
So lovely to meet.
Cloudia Charters
When you are happy,
you feel the sunshine
even inside the fog;
when you are unhappy,
you feel the fog
even in the sunshine.

ReplyDeleteThe first quote is very very good
ReplyDeleteAh, I love John Denver's song. It must have been a good time in my life!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos :-D
ReplyDeleteI found a great John Denver video on YT. Him and Mama Cass, brought tears to my eyes. Worth checking out, it's Leaving on a Jet Plane.
...amen to Liberty Hyde Bailey!

ReplyDeleteWho is this philosopher? I will have to look him up!
It is good to appreciate a single flower.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Cloudia. I have an nice song in my head for the day. ;-)
ReplyDeleteEarlier in the year we saw a John Denver tribute show. I had forgotten how many wonderful songs he had.
ReplyDeleteOh John Denver can always cheer me up! It sure looked for a minute that you had a second Pixie cat! That's what scrolling down slowly does!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely, inspiring words and photos today. Blessings, Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteNo Sunshine on My Shoulders today -- cloudy with forecast rain later.
ReplyDeleteBut it's mid November and you don't have to shovel rain, so...
Besides, it's always sunny and warm in my head.
Love the yellow on the flower and the beautiful reflecting Pixie too. Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteLove the double Pixies and your words of wisdom!
ReplyDeleteYour words create a lovely poem, Cloudia.
