Single Star Evening Star

A L O H A  From

H O N O L U L U


Even a single star 
Can light up the evening sky.
A single star reminds us: 
Hope can shine alone.

Sometimes, one star 
Is all you need
To guide you home.

In the super-vast sky, 
A single star 
Can make  your
Universe less lonely.

Asclepias curassavica,

commonly called tropical milkweed,

bloodflower, cotton bush, Mexican butterfly weed, scarlet milkweed, and wild ipecacuanha, among other names. It is valued as a host and nectar source for butterflies, especially monarchs.




A gift comes to you 
through no action 
of your own, free,
 having moved toward you 
without your beckoning. 
It is not a reward; 
you cannot earn it, 
or call it to you, or 
even deserve it. And 
yet it appears. Your 
only role is to be open-eyed 
and present. Gifts exist 
in a realm of humility 
and mystery—as with 
random acts of kindness, 
we do not know their source.
Robin Wall Kimmerer

Beneath the waves, where kelp sways slow, A love story bubbles, don't you know? Lobster lad, eyes so bright, This lovely lass his crimson delight. Their dance a waltz or slow ballet, Under the ocean where current and sunlight play. Briney whispers, a secret vow, Two armored hearts allow somehow Love's embracing oceanic sweep, Happy lobster love to hold and to keep! Their silent vow, a heartfelt click, Two lobster souls, forever linked. A love untold, yet understood, Two armored souls in together-hood. Salty sweet, this love they share, Lobster's vow crustacean prayer.

Pixie is definitely there with her eyes opened wide. I thought she was waiting for her star to arrive, but after scrolling down, I realized that she's waiting for lobster dinner ;)

The single star is a good metaphor for hope.
