Promise In Colour


  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Rainbow drifted
over the city
a promise in color
soft as breath.


White rock

rust veined
wave receded
It remained.

Small bright refusal
to be ordinary,
half-sunk
in wet sand.
You can be stuck
and still shine!
Cloudia Charters



 Small lights 
  have a way of being seen 
 in a dark world. 
 Neal A. Maxwell 





Your greatest test,
is when you are to
bless someone else
while you are going
through your own storms...
That is the very key
that will unlock the
gates of Heaven
over our lives if we just learn
to listen, to be kind
and to let go...
Rafael Garcia

I love the idea of shining to others even when we are stuck in the sand (or mud). Pixie just shines wherever she is.

What a beautiful collection of words and images. I especially loved the line about being stuck and still shining, such a gentle way to look at life’s difficult moments. The rock ruined with rust is interesting.

I like your new blog header. I also like the rainbow. I never see them here. I LOVE the rusty rock. And I adore the poem you wrote to go with the photo.

That Neal Maxwell quote is appropriate at this time because our country is a very dark place right now and his words of hope are needed. This is also a great quote to go with the photo of the Mountain Dew you shared with us for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia and Pixie.
