Sunshine In The Fog

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.
  Mehmet Murat Ildan




 The monkey looks 
into the mirror
 and sees a gazelle. 
               Arab Proverb

Ah, I love John Denver's song. It must have been a good time in my life!

Great photos :-D

I 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.

"Mehmet Murat Ildan"

Who is this philosopher? I will have to look him up!

Earlier in the year we saw a John Denver tribute show. I had forgotten how many wonderful songs he had.

Barbara Rogers said...

Oh 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!

Martha Jane Orlando said...

Such lovely, inspiring words and photos today. Blessings, Cloudia!

No Sunshine on My Shoulders today -- cloudy with forecast rain later.
But it's mid November and you don't have to shovel rain, so...
Besides, it's always sunny and warm in my head.
