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.

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.
