Stone Soul Pigeon

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

Gratitude unlocks

the fullness of life,

turns what we have

into enough, and more!

Melody Beattie

There was a pigeon

Or perhaps a dove
Who loved a little fountain
And visited everyday.

Folks in the neighborhood

noticed when she passed away...

...But then something happened.

This dove-shaped stone appeared.
And when the neighbors pass
They still see her spirit here.

Beneath the waves,

where kelp sways slow,
A love story bubbles,

don't you know?

Lobster lad, eyes so bright,
This lovely lass his crimson delight.
Their dance a waltz or slow ballet,
Under the ocean

where current and sunlight play.

Briney whispers, a secret vow,
Two armored hearts allow somehow
Love's embracing oceanic sweep,
Happy lobster love

to hold and to keep!

Their silent vow, a heartfelt click,
Two lobster souls, forever linked.
A love untold, yet understood,
Two armored souls in together-hood.

Salty sweet, this love they share,
Lobster's vow crustacean prayer.

O God, help me to believe

the truth about myself,

no matter how beautiful it is.

Heart Life Pleasures

 A L O H A From Honolulu!

When your heart speaks take good notes. Judith Campbell

Life is a succession of moments.

 To live each one is to succeed.

            Corita Kent

 

A little "thank you" that you will say to someone for a "little favour" shown to you is a key to unlock the doors that hide unseen "greater favours". Learn to say "thank you" and why not?

 Israelmore Ayivor

Why not seize the pleasure at once, how often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations.

Eight Year Memory Northern California

A L O H A From Honolulu!

In the warm Hawaiian sun, koi fish glisten like jewels under water. Their bright colored scales shimmer and gleam as they swim gracefully,  mesmerizing to watch. Originally from Japan, they are loved for their beauty and tranquility. 

Honolulu November Sky

Layered sky in shades

of gray and umber,
November clouds glide

as if in slumber.

November sky,

so vast and wide,
A canvas where

the clouds collide.

Joy and sorrow,

light and dark,
Create a moving

work of art.

Now here's the eight year memory of moving to Cali.

Grateful to be home in the islands since 2019!

Fireplace girl, my love from the sea,
How could I bring you to
this land of winter's spree!?

On the first of November,
when the winds blow cold,
I'm glad I have you here to hold.

Waikiki girl who lived
in the sunny curtains
In this cold land of winds

and chilly fogs
You are a sweet source comfort

Before the roasting logs.

Owls & Lullabies

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Kapoi was a Hawaiian man who lived

at Waikiki back in the olden times.
Foraging one day, he found some owl's eggs, and brought them home. That evening he wrapped them in ti leaves to roast them in hot ashes, when an owl perched on his fence

The owl called out to him,

"O Kapoi, give me my eggs!
The owl asked a second time:
"O heartless Kapoi! Take pity on me,
Give me my eggs!" Kapoi finally complied.
Then the owl told Kapoi
to build a heiau, [temple].
He duly did as directed.

But news spread to

the King of Oahu
who bristled at the audacity

of a commoner. He ordered

Kapoi seized and brought
to the royal presence.

The owl who had told Kapoi

to erect a temple was aware

of these events, and gathered

all the owls from Lanai, Maui,

Molokai, and Hawaii to Kalapueo

a beach you may visit to this day

on the Eastern shore of Oahu.

The name Kalapueo literally means

"Owl Proclamation".

The day that Kapoi should

be put to death arrived.

At dawn the owls left their

rendezvous and covered the

whole sky over Honolulu!

When the King's servants seized

Kapoi to put him to death,

the owls flew at them,

with beak and claw.

Thus was fought the

bloody Battle Of The Owls.

The owls emerged victorious and

Kapoi was released by the

King personally who acknowledged

that the Owl Akua (god) is a

powerful one worthy of respect.

From that time to this,

the owl has been recognized

as one of the many deities

and protectors of
the Hawaiian people.

Pueo are honored
as the family Akua

of certain

Hawaiian families

to this day.

Sunlight pierced the
Shadows that dance
A secret path beckoned
At the edge of a glance.

Pixie, What would you do

if you had one year to live?

Pretty much

what I'm doing now,

but with more passion,

more,

abandon, more fun,

and less worry!

So this is my plan

for the year.

Good Plan, I'm IN!

And I serve the Fairy Queen,

To dew her orbs upon the green;

Shakespeare

These are often referred to

as “spirit orbs” or “angel orbs”

and are thought to be

the souls of people. When these orbs

are captured on camera, it is believed to be

sign that those in the photograph are

protected by angels, and

blessed with goodness

and positive energy.

Many believe that

when orbs appear in

particular locations, it’s a sign

that angels are close by

and the location is blessed.
