Night and Day

 A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U

Stillness unfolds—
night’s breath, cool and wide.
Moon drifts, mountains silent,
stars hush the tide...




...Sun brushes dew—

morning opens bright.
Petal by petal,
quiet turns to light.
    Cloudia Charters



The yellow glistens.
It glistens with various yellows,
Citrons, oranges and greens
Flowering over the skin.
Wallace Stevens



Few delights can equal

the mere presence of one whom we trust utterly. George MacDonald

E.J. Korvette, often referred to as Korvette's, was a discount department store chain that operated in the eastern United States from 1948 to 1980. It was a pioneering force in the discount retail industry, significantly impacting how consumers shop today.
Despite the long-standing urban legend that E. J. Korvette stood for "Eight Jewish Korean War Veterans," the name actually came from Eugene (E) Ferkauf and his buddy Joe (J) Zwillenberg, “Korvette” was based on the naval ship “corvette” The store launched before the Korean War even started.

Korvette's sounds like an early version of Walmart. I wonder why it closed.

What slowly evolving beauty, between dark and day. Pats to Pixie for just being herself!
