Just for now.
Find a corner of your
soul that feels good.
Rest there.

Every contraction
is naturally followed
by an expansion;
every time you feel
your heart shrivel
be confident that
it will blossom in turn.

A rainbow is
a promise
written in color
across the gray,
a hush between
thunder and calm
where the soul
remembers
how to breathe.
To find the rainbow
you must face both
the rain and the light.

...as I age, I look forward to the next bench!
Here’s to finding rainbows.
I'm so happy to have read these quotes, and seen that bench upon which to rest, even if my feet might get wet! Jaiya John helped me find the corner of my soul where I could forget all the troubles of the world for a moment. Thanks Cloudia!
Beautiful rainbow!
Pixie looks especially cute today. Love the rainbow, Cloudia. ;-)
Beautiful skies and views, Pixie always looks cute.
Take care, have a great day!
Fantastic rainbow photo and poem, Cloudia. Whenever I see a rainbow, I think of God's covenant with Noah. Blessings!
Thank You EACH!!! Much Aloha

I love seeing Diamond Head and the rainbow too. Hello sweet Pixie! Thanks for joining Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Happy 2026! Gorgeous thoughts and photos and an adorable Pixie who gave me a smile!
That first shot is spectacular, as is the rainbow shot and Pixie in one of my favorite poses.
I love both the rainbow photo and your poem. They complement each other perfectly!
These quotes are beautifully grounding reminders that even in moments of difficulty, growth, renewal, and light are always within reach if we pause, breathe, and stay present
Thank you for linking up. I hope the new year is going as well as it can for you.
Aloha from Oklahoma. I love your Mountains close to the sea, the sea sunsets, flowers and cats. We don't have the sea but we have flowers and cats, and lots of winter wheat and windmills.
Hello Cloudia, I saw the beautiful Blue Ginger on Flower foto but it wouldn't let me comment. I knew I'd see your post elsewhere so here I am to say hi and great photos this week.
Wow! Your rainbow shot is amazing.
I like the blue ginger.
