Guide And Enthrall

There is always a dawn arriving, and that means we’ll never be finished. Restoration is always possible, change is guaranteed, and a plot twist is never far away.

We fear the storms That never break, Imagined tides We’ll never take. But what if hope Not fear was fed What luminous fields

Could bloom instead? We search for troubles that never show, Yet gentle winds Continue to blow. Make hope the compass

That we trust, Doors can open, Gold for dust. We wonder what will go astray, Yet brilliance Might outshine the gray. Sunrise waits beyond the wall; Choose hope Not worry To guide And enthrall. Cloudia Charters

Which bun will rise to the top!? 

A Hawaiian manapua is a local, larger, version of the Chinese bao (or char siu bao), named for the Hawaiian phrase for "tasty pork thing" (mea ono puaʻa). Key differences include the manapua's larger size, and variations in the dough (including not only char siu but also other meats and sweet options like black bean paste).
