A L O H A !
Never ever doubt in magic.
The purest honest thoughts
come from children, ask
any child if they believe
in magic and they will
tell you the truth.
Scott Dixon
Honolulu: Magic City
Magic is not about having
a puzzle to solve. It's
about creating a moment
of awe and astonishment.
And that can be
a beautiful thing
David Blaine
One of our Magics is the Lion Dance.
This time of year, Lunar New Year,
the island resounds with cymbals
and drums! The Lions Dance!
And they are not confined
to China Town.
At schools, businesses,
and private homes:
The Lions Dance!
In every normal year,
Chinatown bans cars
and throngs of people
fill the streets, as do many
Lion Dance troops!
Blessing a business NOT in Chinatown
One hears them around a corner,
and turns it to join the
WONDER! FLASH! SMOKE!
FACES! FAMILIES!
W O N D E R!
Little Lions Will Grow. Feed Them!
We feed the lions.
They like dollar bills.
It brings us luck!
On the continent, I did not
see people feeding the lions,
but did so anyway.
One ALWAYS needs luck,
especially far from home.
Shine your soul with the same
egoless humility as the rainbow
and no matter where you go
in this world or the next,
love will find you,
attend you,
and bless you.

Spring
Is
Coming!
I'm the only lion you're gonna need!
No public events this year.
We drove Chinatown on
Lunar New Year in search
of lions. But never heard one.
Later, at home,
sitting in my chair,
I heard something
familiar.
I rushed to the window!
And there it was:
It had found me!

Pixie finally willed herself into a lioness lying on a pillow-rock! I'm so glad the lion dancers decided to bless the island with appropriate social distancing :) What a joyous post!
Thanks T. Get Rich This Year of the OX!
I am so so glad that the lions found you - and danced for you.
A little quieter than last year but most welcome I bet 🐉
How wonderful that a lion came out for you!
Thanks Friends!!!
Is that a magic arm going into that orange dragon's mouth? That's a great optical illusion between the two arms.
You have such a great eye, Mike!
