Common Enchantment

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U


Life's challenges are not
supposed to paralyze you,
they're supposed to help you
discover who you are.
Bernice Johnson Reagon




They danced for a moment, 
 beauty stayed,
Their soul-stirring art, 
gracefully displayed.

With every sway, 
old tales awoke,
Waikiki's true spirit 
softly spoke.
      Pixie




Plumbago, Leadwort
When grace is
joined with wrinkles, 
it is adorable. There is an 
unspeakable dawn
in happy old age. 
             Victor Hugo



At the end of the day,
what really matters is that
your loved ones are well,
you've done your best, and
that you're thankful
for all you have.

We wait, starving 
for moments of high magic 
to inspire us, but life is 
full of common enchantment 
waiting for our alchemists 
eyes to notice.

The three skirts are a great pattern and colours, and the women look so good, unlike the one in the last photo.

What a powerful reminder that growth often emerges from struggle—each challenge we face shapes us into a more resilient and self-aware version of ourselves.

What a weird posture for getting the gas in the car! Love that pixie is also a poet today!

I am not too sure about adorable old wrinkles, possibly said by a peso n who didn’t have them. 🤓
