Puowaina Crater, "Punchbowl" *

Every season is one of becoming, but not always one of blooming. Be gracious with your ever-evolving self.

Be aware of what season you are in and give yourself the grace to be there.

Sun kisses my face

Dark glasses left 

on the table—

Light blesses my walk.

Morning opens wide

Soft warmth 

across my eyelids,

Each step full of grace.

I greet the bright day

Unshielded, free 

and grateful—

Thank you, gentle sun.

Good hearts speak the same language even though we come from different cultures and backgrounds. We are all here now and we are all walking the path of good and peace together with caring instead of selfishness and that's why we are the true rich ones.

* Puowaina Crater, commonly known as Punchbowl, is a volcanic tuff cone in Honolulu, Hawaii, now home to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. The crater, formed by a volcanic blast 75,000 to 100,000 years ago, was historically used for human sacrifices. Today, it serves as a peaceful resting place for over 80,000 U.S. military personnel, with the "Hill of Sacrifice" being its most common Hawaiian translation.
