Bold Root

A L O H A From Honolulu!

If you see what needs

to be REPAIRED and

how to repair it,

then you have found

a PIECE OF THE WORLD

that God has left

YOU to complete...

 ...But if you only see

what is WRONG and

ugly in the world, then

it is you YOURSELF

that needs repair.

 The Lubavitcher Rebbe

If you're in the

middle of the ocean

with no flippers and

no life preserver

and you hear

a helicopter,

this is music.

  Tom Waits

The Bell 407 is a four-blade, single-engine,

civil utility helicopter. A derivative of the

Bell 206L-4 LongRanger, the 407 uses the

four-blade, soft-in-plane design rotor

with composite hub developed for the

United States Army's OH-58D Kiowa Warrior

instead of the two-blade, semi-rigid,

teetering rotor of the 206L-4.

They flash upon

that inward eye, 

which is the

bliss of solitude,

And then my heart

with pleasure fills, 

- and dances

with the daffodils.

  William Wordsworth

We don't see these local heroes

around town so much anymore.

This grey haired gentleman

around my age is proudly

representing his father

(I asked - and thanked him).

These are the ones

whose families

were in many cases interned

by the 

US. They shot the lock off

the gates of at least one

European concentration camp,

liberating another hated people.

They came home, and built our

modern Hawaii. Among them,

Senator Dan Inouye (D-HI)

long high up in the line

of presidential succession

based on his long seniority.

I used to chat with his security

detail in the neighborhood

when he was at home in

Waikiki. War hero, Watergate

hearings principal, dean of

the Senate. 

How does the Meadow flower

its bloom unfold? Because

the lovely little flower

is free down to its root,

and in that freedom bold.
