Among Stars

A L O H A From Waikiki

Those no longer among us

are among the stars.

Write your bane in sand,

your blessing in a stone.

Sorrow in the face of aging

would be a poor response

to such good fortune.

 Margaret Renkl

I wandered everywhere,

through cities and countries wide.

And everywhere I went,

the world was on my side.

If only the best birds sang,

the forest would be silent. Henry Van Dyke

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Morning Honolulu Moon

The day, water, sun, 

moon, night - I do not 

have to purchase these 

things with money. 

      Plautus

We are all looking for something 

of extraordinary importance 

whose nature 

we have forgotten. 

     Ionesco

If you don't think 

every day is a good day, 

just try missing one.

Lion Found Me OR Lion Looks

 A  L  O  H  A  !

Never ever doubt in magic. 

The purest honest thoughts 

come from children, ask 

any child if they believe 

in magic and they will 

tell you the truth.     

Scott Dixon

Honolulu: Magic City

Magic is not about having 

a puzzle to solve. It's 

about creating a moment 

of awe and astonishment. 

And that can be 

a beautiful thing     

     David Blaine

One of our Magics is the Lion Dance.

This time of year, Lunar New Year,

the island resounds with cymbals

and drums! The Lions Dance!

And they are not confined

to China Town.

At schools, businesses, 

and private homes:

The Lions Dance!

In every normal year, 

Chinatown bans cars

and throngs of people

fill the streets, as do many

Lion Dance troops!

Blessing a business NOT in Chinatown

One hears them around a corner,

and turns it to join the 

WONDER! FLASH! SMOKE!

FACES! FAMILIES!

W O N D E R!

Little Lions Will Grow. Feed Them! 

We feed the lions.

They like dollar bills.

It brings us luck!

On the continent, I did not

see people feeding the lions,

but did so anyway.

One ALWAYS needs luck,

especially far from home.

Shine your soul with the same

egoless humility as the rainbow

and no matter where you go

in this world or the next,

love will find you, 

attend you,

and bless you.

       Aberjhani

Spring 

Is 

Coming!

I'm the only lion you're gonna need!

No public events this year.

We drove Chinatown on

Lunar New Year in search

of lions. But never heard one.

Later, at home,

sitting in my chair,

I heard something 

familiar.

I rushed to the window!

And there it was:

It had found me!

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Lunar New Year

is not celebrated only
in a discreet district, or
Honolulu's ChinaTown. 

Lions & firecrackers
- even hundred-foot golden dragon-
will be heard and seen EVERYWHERE
in coming days:
Malls, shopping centers, banks
businesses, schools, homes. . .

All events MUST have a 

Clipboard Guy!

 Grab your earplugs,

and a dollar or three to feed

the lions. Then your good luck

in the new year

will be assured!
