A L O H A From Honolulu!
You can give without loving,
but you can never
love without giving.
Robert Louis Stevenson

Sun-kissed path, a silent vow,
Blessings whispered, here and now.
Not grand pronouncements,
nor wealth's decree,
Just gentle ripples,
setting hearts free.
A smile, a touch,
a gaze that sees,
Kindness blooming,
carried by the breeze.
No need for pomp,
no fanfare's call,
In quiet acts,
love conquers all.
For blessings shared,
like seeds take root,
Whispering hope,
bearing precious fruit.
So let us sow,
with open hand,
Goodness that ripples,
across the land.

Difference between
I like & I love?
When you like a flower,
you just pluck it. But
when you love a flower,
you water it daily!
Buddha
Our passing through this earth
is so absurd and fleeting, that
it calms me to know that I have
been authentic, that I have managed
to be more like myself
as much as I could.
Frida Khalo
