Meaning Is Found

  A  L  O  H  A 

From

Honolulu

Rainbows introduce us
to reflections of different beautiful possibilities so we
never forget
that pain and grief
are not the
final options in life.
Aberjhani 



Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Maya Angelou


Meaning is found in
how we live with others.
A kind word, a moral stand,
a willingness to listen, and
the courage to care
all leave lasting marks.
Allan Schwartz




What wisdom can you find
that is greater
than kindness?

Male American Goldfinch
 (Spinus tristis), 
Small, migratory finches 
common throughout 
North America, 
These birds have a conical bill 
specialized for eating seeds, 
During the winter, the male's 
vibrant yellow plumage 
molts into a duller, 
olive-brown color 
closely resembling the female.

That finch really is golden! Sitting on top of Mt Oberon as the clouds rolled past was pretty special I have to say!
