A L O H A From Honolulu!
Be the one to
stand out in the crowd,
Be the one to go where
they’d rather not.
Beautiful things don’t beg
for a chance to glow
They throw out their lights and
just shine out loud!

A star never lets anything
dull its sparkle,
not even darkness.
Matshona Dhliwayo
If a beachhead of cooperation may
push back the jungle of suspicion,
let both sides join in creating
a new endeavor, not a new balance
of power, but a new world of law,
where the strong are just and the
weak secure and the peace preserved.
President John F. Kennedy
Inaugural Address (1961)

Have a spirit so beautiful
that when people see you
all they notice is your glow.
