The Last Time You Changed

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Some believe
it is only great power
that can hold evil in check,
but that is not
what I have found.
It is the small everyday
deeds of ordinary folk that
keep the darkness at bay.
Small acts of kindness
and love.
J.R.R. Tolkien
The Hobbit, pub. 1937





The turquoise tide
shimmered in shades
of mermaid tails against
the alabaster shore. Karen Marie Moning 



You're only as young as
the last time you
changed your mind.
Timothy Leary




Moonbeams tiptoe,
Dreams begin to show.
Cloudpuff pillows float on by,
People's wishes
crossing the sky.
Imagination takes its flight,
Enthralling embrace
Of the burgeoning night.
Cloudia Charters



I dream.
Sometimes I think
that's the only
right thing to do. Haruki Murakami

Power Water
Be like water 
making its way 
through cracks
Do not be assertive, 
but adjust to the object, 
and you shall find a way 
around or through it.
   Bruce Lee

  12. The different stages of the moon you shared. Pixie always looks wonderful. But the bottled water along with the Bruce Lee quote was absolutely perfect for T this week, dear Cloudia.

  13. Was the Hobbit really published in 1937?? Wow....Lord of the Rings was the 1960's I believe. 1937 seems so long ago. It wasn't though, not really. Sweet quote!

  22. Yes.... Moonbeams tiptoe,
    Dreams begin to show.
    Cloudpuff pillows float on by,
    People's wishes
    crossing the sky.
    Imagination takes its flight,
    Enthralling embrace
    Of the burgeoning night.
