For Sharing

'Aloha' is not merely a word.

It is a concept, a philosophy of life, a powerfully simple

faith in Love.

Sometimes, I just need to stare.
And to recover. Pleasantly numb.
(Sounds too much like a drug reverie :-)


How about you? Do you give yourself
 this permission and time?

Hawaii is good for staring

 and soul healing -

 so much beauty.

'Polynesian Paralysis' we call it.

Along with the power of Aloha,

It's why folks visit here.

Watching people in their natural surroundings -

 on the sand, by the sea, with their families,

or traveling alone for business, wisdom, or war. . . 

It is healing to hear the tongues of the world,

all relaxing, all unwinding together in welcome,

 all feeling lucky they 'came Hawaii.'

 

"It's a pleasant thing to be young,

 and have ten toes." Robert Louis Stevenson

Watching people, clouds, animals, flowers. . . 

hearing the breeze, the surf,

 Hawaiian guitars-

replenishes the flame in my soul.

I hope you feel that way

when you come here

 to share what we care about, 

and play in the sand

of your mind's eye. . .

enjoying the warm sun of our mutual

Aloha. . . 

thank Y O U

         for sharing it.  cloudia
