What You Never

A L O H A  From

Elvis Presley’s ties to Hawaii run deep: he brought world wide attention to the islands with his films and music. His 1973 “Aloha from Hawaii” concert broadcast from Honolulu reached over a billion viewers, setting entertainment history.
In 1961 Elvis almost single-handedly reinvigorated a campaign to build the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. His electrifying benefit concert raised over $60,000 and ignited worldwide support, turning a dream into Hawaiʻi’s most visited historic site.



Barleria repens,
 known as the Coral Creeper 
or Small Bush Violet, is 
a fast-growing, evergreen 
ground-cover native to 
South Africa that produces 
vibrant coral, pink, 
or purple flowers. 


Listen to your heart. 
It knows all things, 
because it came from 
the Soul of the World 
and it will one day 
return there .  
   Paulo Coelho 





Firesilk light climbing
through bright blue of haze,
quicksilver arc expanding 
across the morning blaze.

Woven color, a humid, 
brief surprise,
A gasp of wonder 
exploded in 
our morning eyes.

The vapor fades,
chroma gone too soon,
A brilliant memory 
lasts to afternoon!

Life is all about
how you handle
what you never
asked for.
