Our Town

A L O H A

From

Honolulu

Take the long way

by the sea. Where the road

meets the ocean,

peace begins. A beautiful drive

with salt air and

open sky. Coastal roads turn

miles into memories. Follow the shoreline

and let your mind drift.

Workday Honolulu

Tropic sun, rusted tin,

and a rainbow at the end.

Industrial alleys, and

faded roofs that eventually

give way to breathtaking

island light and beauty.

Our Town.

The Hawaiian monk seal

(Neomonachus schauinslandi) is an endangered, earless seal species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, making it one of the world’s rarest marine mammals and the only seal found in the tropics. Adult seals typically measure 6–7.5 feet in length, weigh 400–600 pounds, and are recognized for their sleek gray coats and solitary or small-group behavior. With a population of only about 1,400 individuals, Hawaiian monk seals face threats from habitat loss, entanglement, disease, and human disturbance and are protected by federal and state laws. The species plays a vital role in the local ecosystem but relies on ongoing conservation efforts for survival.

Remember to go outside everyday and walk on the Earth and look around at the beauty – the birds, the trees, the flowers blooming. Put your mind at ease by remembering the cycles of Nature, which are endless and renewing constantly. We are part of that Nature –

and are also renewing. Don’t lose faith in that which is timeless-your heart, soul and nature. We are all related Mitakuye Oyasin

Never Grow Old

A L O H A

From

Honolulu

Anyone who keeps
the ability to see beauty
never grows old.

The art of progress

is to preserve order

amid change

and to preserve change

amid order.

If every tiny flower wanted to be a rose, spring would lose its loveliness. Therese of Lisieux

and make you miss what

life has to offer you. Med Yones

Lei Season

A L O H A

From

Honolulu

Small lights have

a way of being seen

in a dark world.

Neal A. Maxwell

One joy scatters
a hundred griefs.
Chinese proverb

Never let hard lessons
harden your heart;
the hard lessons
of life are meant to
make you better,
not bitter.

Lasting Happiness like wonderful,

warm donuts, must be made fresh

every hour!
