The art of being wise
is knowing what
to overlook.
William James
When life takes the
wind out of your sails,
it is to test you
at the oars.
Robert Brault
Guzmania, Bromelide
All of us are stars
and deserve the
right to twinkle.
Marilyn Monroe
Karma Burners
Pebble in my shoe,
morning spilled sleeve
small annoyances
whisper
remind me to pause
And to breathe.
Each stubbing of the toe,
And slow red light
offer a choice:
grumble, or grow
Burn that karma right!
Karma burns
in a smile
On the toughest day
Patience unfolded,
When you need to get away.
Forgiveness
for the world’s little frictions
Letting steam escape
So this clay pot doesn't burst.
And to keep my soul in shape.

I love your poem about karma burners. When I saw the title I thought they might be tiki torches for Buddhist temples. I bet Pixie would love to relax on that Hawaiian quilt!
To Robert Brault's quote:
A timely reminder that strength is often forged in resistance. When the wind fades, our will becomes the engine.
To Marilyn Monroe's quote:
A lovely truth. Each of us carries a light within, and the world is better when we’re allowed to let it shine.
Thanks!

Nice that one of Robert Brault and of course the others also to see and to trickle your brain.
Twinkle twinkle.
A very nice rendition of the song...and I appreciated your poetry too. The Hawaiian quilt is beautiful, but of course Pixie the soft, Pixie the wise, Pixie needs a pat from me!
Lovely post! Cute Pixie!
Lovely images, poem and a sweet Pixie.
Take care, have a wonderful week!
...good karma to you, my friend.
Your poem says it all, Cloudia. Let's not let the little irritants in life weigh us down. Blessings!
The beautiful quilt immediately made me think of Hawaii, and the reminder that my actions will affect my karma is much needed today.
Cloudia, your poem is lovely. Pixie is adorable. I love Robert Brault quotes. ❤️ Aloha and 🫂 🤗 hugs.
