Comforting Embrace of the Expected

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Every culture dances to

it's own internal rhythm,

weaving threads of festivity

into the seasons, spaces for

shared experiences, and markers

of introspective renewal. Yet,

as much as I savor the

effervescence of the holidays,

a curious pang of anticipation

tugs at me as normalcy returns. 

The gentle hum of routine,

like a well-worn melody,

holds a comforting charm for me.

Routines are the building blocks

of a life.

The purposeful hiss of morning buses

returning folks to their

daily endeavors–

these eternal

everyday scenes resonate

with a quiet beauty. 

Watching children

off to school is a moving testament

to life's cycles of growth and learning.

Each returning kid, each

familiar face, whispers a

reassuring "life goes on."

The comforting embrace

of the expected, the quiet

reassurance of life's

resilient pulse, herald a season of

renewal, fresh canvas to paint.

Life's unpretentious glory

unfolds anew.

The chief beauty about time is

that you cannot waste it in advance.

The next year, the next day, the

next hour are lying ready for you,

as perfect, as unspoiled, as if

you had never wasted or misapplied

a single moment in all your life.

You can turn over a new leaf

every hour if you choose.
