From
Honolulu
happen to good people;
I think bad things
happen to everyone,
and the way good people
respond is what
makes them good.
also known as the ceibo or cry-baby plant
I don't love you
with my heart and mind,
I love you with my soul,
in case my mind forgets
and my heart stops.
Rumi
13th-century Persian poet
and achievements
can be earned, but
character determines
how those gifts are used
and the legacy
they leave behind. Leonardo da Vinci
On an ordinary morning
light writes on the wall.
A leaf moves outside,
window brings sun,
Together they write
and I can almost
scry what they mean!
Then a cloud moves
and the whole bright sentence
becomes the next.
I can almost make it out!
Nothing going on
just light, reflection,
shadow and me
On this ordinary day.

You are truly a gifted poet, Cloudia. I hope all is going well for you with all the crazy weather we've been having.
Enjoying your poem , Beautiful post. Amazing pics. Greetings to you and Pixie.
The words of da Vinci and Rumi remind us that true goodness lies in character, resilience, and a love that reaches beyond the heart and mind.
Anything can happen to anyone.
Beautiful images and quotes Cloudia.
Love Pixie and the poem.
Happy Friday, have a great day and a happy weekend.
Your first quote is real food for thought
That Cockspur Coral tree looks terrific in your photo. I also like your portrait of the pretty, young woman wearing the bird hat,
Really amazing coral plant. So Pixie is enjoying the light and shadow show, but where's that smoke coming from? Linda in Kansas
Great post! Your opening statement about bad things happening to people really resonates with me. It is so true that bad things happen to everyone and we have to deal with the best way we can. I've also learned that, hurt people hurt people.
What a colorful young lady.
I love the sky in your first photo. Have a nice weekend!
It is a treat to visit you here, Cloudia. ;-)
Beautiful.
Loved the woman's headgear...not sure what to call it. And such wonderful words today. Mmm, yum!
I love all the photos and the quotes this week. Can't choose a fave.

Pixie is seeing the writing on the wall! Oh, what an ethereal photo and thoughts, Cloudia. Blessings!
