The Compass Rose

A  L  O  H  A !

but a star with an infinite 
number of rays pointing 
in all directions.

and perfect symbol 
of the universe.

And it is the one 
most accurate 
symbol of you.

Spread your arms 
in an embrace, 
throw your head back, 
and prepare to receive 
and send coordinates 
of being.

Let There Be

"Star lost
in the light of dawn,

the space and conditions for 
Health & Well Being to 
precipitate, accumulate, 
and to grow.
