Island Style

Lion Dance! Fireworks!

Kahu (priest) Blessing new store

This is how we open a new yogurt store: lion dances, A Hawaiian blessing (above) and TAIKO drumming!

"Oh my, with all this hullabaloo it's going to be embarrassing if I DON'T die."

-Barack Obama's grandma Madelyn Dunham on all the flowers sent to her in her last days

"I felt honored that someone from our islands has risen to his position. The way we are brought up in the islands, we are simpatico with each other. . . Both Dunham and Obama reflected that cultural sense."

- Abigail Kawananakoa (Direct descendant of Hawaiian royalty speaking at Dunham's public memorial; she would probably be Queen today if . . .)

“Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them”

- Chinese proverb

Aloha Greetings!

I want to thank all of YOU who visit Comfort Spiral, who have left your comments and who have subscribed ("Followers").

Your own blogs are a rich new part of my life, and I feel that some of you are simpatico fellow spirits. Your images and words have made my world a richer place. I hope you will continue to voyage in your canoes of thought here to my island home. You are most welcome. Your visit is a gift that you give to me. In Hawaii, we have NO TOURISTS, just visitors & friends (new and old.)

Mahalo for your time . . . We'll hold a shady spot for you here under the palms of Waikiki . . .
