A L O H A From Honolulu!
If you chase anything in life
chase the things that get you
excited about living. Chase the things
that give you hope, happiness
and a glimpse of a better life...
...Chase the things that make you
want to be a better person. Chase
the things that inspire you to think,
create and live joyfully. Chase
the things that reinforce in your
soul that you can make a difference....
...Chase the things that make you
want to transform your heart from
selfish to selfless. When you chase
that kind of storm
you are chasing rainbows.
Shannon L. Alder
Unbound by boxes,
Unconfined,
Just be yourself,
One of a kind.
No label needed,
No mold to fit,
Embrace your essence
every bit.
Let your light shine,
your spirit roam,
Unfurl your wings,
find your true home.
In the vastness of
this world, you'll see,
That beauty lies
in being free.
So dance to your rhythm,
sing your own song,
Be the melody that
makes you grow
swift and strong.
And when the world tries
to dim your hue,
Remember, dear one:
just be you.

A Truly Amazing
International Event
Happening NOW All around me:
Chasing anything sounds too much for me - but I will very, very happily follow rainbows.
ReplyDeletePixie is looking unboxed today, but when she gets into boxes, I think that she is still thinking outside the box... Love the idea of the Pacific Islander Indigenous Arts and Culture Festival! Since it's all free, I am guessing that we will soon see the fruits of your unconfined ramblings as you chase beauty and fun to share with us.
ReplyDeleteThe mural is looking so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true, Cloudia. I'll try to stay true to myself and you are so very special and beautiful, that I hope you will also always be you.
