On January 17th of this year, I attended the Ho'oku'ikahi Reconciliation Services for our Beloved Queen Lili'uokalani. I was constantly moving around the church, taking photos of the ceremony, trying to capture the participants, highlights and ceremony itself. At one point, while walking from the front of the church to the back, trying to be discreet, so I could go over to the other side in preparation for a choral group's performance, I suddenly entered a pew and sat down on the left side of the church. It was like a magnet. I was pulled in and sat down for a little while. I thought maybe to rest for a bit. No sooner had I sat down, and as I was watching one of the Kahu speak, while holding my camera in my lap, I suddenly felt something touch my folded left arm. I initially thought a bug had landed on me, but as I looked down on my arm, there sat a perfectly formed little glistening lizard dropping. I stared at it for awhile, as it seemed out of place, but ...
Love...
Share your Love with others... Each and every Blessed Day... In each Beautiful Waking Moment... With Wanton Abandon... For this most Precious of Sacred Resources... Is never Wasted... Never...
Promises...
I picked up my Father's remains... To reunite him with my Beloved Mother... After almost losing him to an unknown fate... 5000 miles away.... I found my parent's Marriage Service book... Dated August 17, 1956... Their Marriage Vows and Convenant... Secreted and protected in a tattered stained and worn out box... The book was as new as the Day they were Married... Much like their Marriage... Tattered, stained and worn towards the End... But protected deep inside my Mother's Forgiving Heart... The Eternal Love... As Brand New as the Day they Committed to Each Other... My Promise is almost fulfilled... Till Death Do Us Part... In Everlasting Love and Life... Shall We Remain..
