Ocean Calm And Valley

 A L O H A  From
H O N O L U L U

As the woman sat quietly 
beside her loyal dog, 
she realized that in the 
gentle reflection of his 
trusting eyes, she could 
see the best parts of herself.




If the ocean can calm itself, 
so can you. We are both 
salt water mixed with air.
Nayyirah Waheed







 Anyone who keeps 
learning stays young.
The greatest thing in life
 is to keep your
 mind young.
                 Henry Ford




Starry  Jasmine

A field of wildflowers
free and bright, 
This starry dance 
fills me with delight!






The greatest test of
courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart. Robert G. Ingersoll

    True strength often shows not in victory, but in how we carry ourselves through the losses.

    The starry jasmine is lovely, and Pixie is looking like a star beneath it. Great quotes today.

    Aloha dear Cloudia,
    what a fascinating thought – that we can calm ourselves because the ocean can too, and that both the ocean and we are made of water and salt and air... 🌊💙 You’ve shared some true wisdom again, along with such beautiful photos – thank you!

    Sending much love from Austria, and please give Pixie some gentle cuddles from me 🐾

    The Nayyirah Waheed quote was a good reminder that I'm not as all-important as I would like to think I am.

    The dog is has the same colors as my cat. There are five pyramids at the Louvre. One large main pyramid serves as the entrance, and there are three smaller pyramids surrounding it in the courtyard. Additionally, an inverted pyramid is located in the underground Carrousel du Louvre shopping mall.

    Henry Ford, a true contradiction about being an American.
