Where You Like GO?
Look! My old number, Puka 9
- from my immigrant days
driving taxi here in Honolulu.
[ The book cover to the right there
is a link to my autobiographical
novel about discovering Hawaii
and myself ]
Let's RIDE around a little,
OK?

nor slower
than your own soul.
Because it is your soul
that will teach you
the usefulness
of each step
you take."

Aloha means:
"WE share the Breath of Life!"
So let's share with no expectation
and sincerity
are the highest things. "

I used to be
very sensitive to
exclusion by others,
now
I' m more focused
on including everyone
in my Aloha

Up in the hills, back in the valleys,
down to the beach:
I chased calls all over the island in my cab.
Sure, I'll take your surf board.

on anybody

12 hour shift just about PAU
(finished)
Time to head back to the yard.
This was day tour.
Driving at night
was memorable
and educational.
