A L O H A
From
Honolulu
With true friends
even water drunk together
is sweet enough.
Chinese proverb
Don't ever get so big
or important that you
can not hear and listen
to every other person.
John Coltrane
Our lives
teach us who we are.
Salman Rushdie
Kindness comes easily
once you set it free
It's how you respond
With humanity.
When you meet
their need for grace
In a small, unguarded,
human place
Humbly accept
if their gratitude shows
circulating righteous flows.
A thank you isn’t
a weight or a claim—
it isn’t a spotlight
calling your name.
It’s part of your giving,
the other side—
a hand returning,
open, wide.
For now just stay—
let it land,
not held too tight,
just gently in hand.
Meet their eyes,
Let it be.
A quiet exchange
Of dignity.
Then something completes—
unforced, unplanned—
When kindness circles
and comes back to land.

I love the golden sky with the volleyball players in the foreground. And thanks for the Coltrane selection.
Pixie is up for a conversation.
Something about photos of people playing volleyball at the beach is very beachlike.
I love from your poem"
"Kindness comes easily
