Aloha Where You Like Go?

A  L  O  H  A !

“ For an exile,

 no remembered face 

or scene 

is too incidental 

to clarify 

the basic mystery

 of being.”

Czeslaw Milosz

That quote

opens the first chapter

of my autobiographical

novel about being

an exile,

alone & new

in Hawaii

Driving my taxi

in this new city,

I met people

who taught me lessons:

bright lessons,

as well as lessons

from the night side

of life.

One special passenger,

and older local woman,

"Auntie Na"

gently showed me

much about life

that I had

missed.

Her Pidgin

 - our local 'lingo' -

is uniquely

of Hawaii,

but I think

You will

Understand -

“Oh June, you young still yet.

 You hungry for experience,

 and that’s the way it should be.

 But when you come older, 

like me,

 don’t worry,

 you still going be

 learning, still get planny things

 fo do; 

no  more time for boredom! 

Morning, noon an’ night time 

get beauty, 

an my family.

 I stay so grateful to 

be alive in dis Hawaii. 

Every tree, rock,

 plant, 

and blade of grass 

has Mana. 

Everything around us

 is wondrous, 

if only we can see.

 I no need night club

 - get nightingale, 

da moon, da clouds,

 and choke memories!”

My own fears

 about ageing shifted, 

and lightened 

as she spoke. . . "

Please join Aunty,

and me,

Kimo the Dog,

and a cast of characters

torn from Honolulu's

REAL people.

ALOHA!

Each of US

A  L  O  H  A !

 As we live,

wisdom

accrues

 Some relish each

 experience,

cataloging as
souvenirs

 the wisdom

they have

 gained

Some have information

and experience

settle upon them

like dust

on furniture

But
we each 

have many stories

to tell.

Animal Teachers

A  L  O  H  A !

Without lecturing,

Animals 

Teach us -

No matter

Our age,

Learning or 

Condition-

They remind us

What is

Essential

Every Animal,

Natural or Domestic

is a Therapy Animal

If

We let them

Be.

A  L  O  H  A

  “Something

opens our wings.

 Something

 makes boredom 
and hurt
disappear. 

 Someone fills the cup

 in front of us: 

 We taste 

only sacredness.” 

Rumi

Flute Solo

A  L  O  H  A !

“ The flute

 is not an instrument 

that has a good

 moral effect;

 it is too exciting.”

 Aristotle 

Here's a little piece for my friend Carroll's Radio show

Confidant of Nature

A  L  O  H  A !

The artist
 is the confidant 
of nature,
flowers
 carry on dialogues
 with him. . . "

Auguste Rodin

"  The snow goose 
need not bathe
 to make itself 
white.
 Neither need you 
do anything 
but be
 yourself. "

Lao Tzu 

" Sincerity
 is the highest compliment
 you can pay. "

Ralph Waldo Emerson
