Heart Simply

 A L O H A From Honolulu!





Canna Indica "Indian Shot"

"Slavery shall, under no circumstances whatever, be tolerated in the Hawaiian Islands: whenever a slave shall enter Hawaiian territory he shall be free; no person who imports a slave, or slaves, into the King's dominions shall ever enjoy any civil or political rights in this realm; but involuntary servitude for the punishment of crime is allowable according to law."
Article 12 of Hawaiian Kingdom Constitution 1852

There's no mastery to be had. 

You love the attempt. -







-You don't master a story 

any more than you master a river. -







Mo`ili`ili is a neighborhood in Honolulu Link

-You feel lucky 

to canoe down it.

Human Rainbow or Zoo?

A L O H A !


Slavery & sex trafficking 
turn a human into a commodity.
 We all understand 
how wrong that is. 

And yet, don't we ALL 
commodify other people 
based on what 
we want from them? 

If they are homeless, 
smelly, too close, we
 give them a 
very low value. 

If they look a certain way,
 or control something 
we need or want (job) 
then we put a premium 
on pleasing them. 

When you really GET 
that each person 
is a whole world, 
it changes your 
whole world. 

A person may not
have value to me, 
but they have VALUE 
as I do. 

This means bothering to 
RESPECT before 
we shoot off our mouths
 teaching, or correcting strangers..

It means
 valuing,
noticing,
caring.

Even if we
DO nothing
different.

Seeing people 
differently
heals our eyes;
and our hearts.
