Waikiki The Miracle
A L O H A !
"The sky broke like an egg
into full sunset and
the water caught fire. "
Pamela Hansford Johnson
"We are here making steps
on this beautiful planet.
This is already
performing a miracle. -
-But we have to be here
in order for the miracle
to be possible.-
- We have
to bring ourselves back
to the here and the now."

the whole world
is your temple.”

"In happy hours,
when the imagination
wakes like a wind at midnight,
and the soul
Trembles in all its leaves,
it is a joy
To be uplifted on its wings,
and listen
To the prophetic voices in the air
That call us onward."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Best Advice Ever
A L O H A !
Royal Hawaiian Hotel Art
"The hotel commenced operations on
1 February 1927, with a black tie gala
attended by over 1,200 guests, quickly
becoming an icon of Hawaii's glory days."
Ki`i [Link]
"The secret of genius
is to carry the spirit
of the child
into old age. . .
never losing
your enthusiasm."
Aldous Huxley

Best advice I ever got:
treat children like adults
and adults like children.

Half of the Pacific runs through my home. If I had stayed in Hawaii I would have been same same Cloudia, retired and at the end of a lot of stories.
I would have been part of the community, of our small community anyway, and a kupuna* bearing memory and local stories & knowledge.
But we came on an adventure. We started a new beginning, a new chapter. And that keeps you young, fresh and evolving. And not at the end yet.
But just like people from Earth who make a home on the moon, I need to visit the home planet, to keep the connections fresh and real, not receding to memory. Then after some R&R I can come back to my exciting new adventure, still a Hawaii person in Marin, not a haole* snowbird who comes to Hawaii from time to time and sees only the outside face. I know where the family stay.
Thank YOU
Friend!
