Tiny Rainbow Tiny Moon, Big Hero

A  L  O  H  A !
Dare to love yourself
as if you were a rainbow
with gold at both ends.
    Aberjhani Link











Don't tell me the moon is shining; 
show me the glint of light 
on broken glass.
          Anton Chekhov












Sgt. Kuroda was a local Hawaii Guy
whose contemporaries live in our community,
some wounded like Senator Inouye.
He was also a decorated battle hero.

Many of that generation did get to 
grow old around me. 
Soon they will all be gone.
The personal connection to these
WWII events will be snapped.

Sgt. Kuroda will live on in 
his story of heroism.
The Waikiki field carrying his name.
 will carry on.













Every Day Heroes Live Everywhere

Carve your name on hearts, not 
tombstones. A legacy is etched into the 
minds of others and the stories 
they share about you.
            Shannon Alder

Love that line about carving your name on hearts, not tombstones. Great stuff today!

"Don't tell me the moon is shining" reminded me of a vampire joke. A vampire is about to bite someone in the moonlit night and the victim says, "You know moonlight is just reflected sunlight." Oh-oh!
