Some Paddle

 A   L   O   H   A  !

You can't live a perfect day 

without doing something 

for someone who will 

never be able to repay you.

           John Wooden







Plumeria, usually a child's first Lei

E lei kau, e lei ho‘oilo i ke aloha. 

Love is worn like a lei 

through the winter. 









He ho'okele wa'a no ka la 'ino.

 "A steersman for a stormy day."

I pray for President Biden

🛶

The canoe stands for the island, 

the community. Some steer, 

some paddle, and some 

only ride along. 

On islands, in 

small communities,

where people know 

one another,

we must paddle together 

if we want to get anywhere.

Those who do not 

believe in the voyage, 

are not forced to paddle.

But, being a 

beloved community,

they too will share the 

benefits

of the voyage.

The door is always open,

to join instead of jeer.
  










Industry, economy, 

honesty, and kindness 

form a quartet of virtues 

that will never be 

improved upon.

           James Oliver



















Hearts rebuilt from hope 

resurrect dreams 

killed by hate.

     Aberjhani


True friends are those 
who lift you up
when your heart's wings 
forget how to fly.

  1. I saw the title and thought you were going to tell me to paddle my own canoe. Instead, it's all about love and community and leis at the end of the rainbow. Wonderfully inspiring post!

  6. Beautiful words Cloudia, particularly the first one. I know the plant as frangipani, from my visits to Australia, I love it and wish I could grow it here. Your cat is gorgeous.
