Ephemeral Life...

I tried to sneak up and attack these unsuspecting campers. Then I noticed the little sentry in the bushes standing guard with a squirt gun. It was too late. He spotted me. I turned to flee. I was so scared. He wet my pants...

Life is such a long road with an unknown destination at times. But no matter how many times I find myself stranded on the side momentarily. I always find the resources to carry on in my journey. And it doesn't matter how hard it is. Because I know my journey has a purpose. And I know the stars are correct because somewhere along side of the road. You joined me. And I know we are both headed in the same direction but sometimes in painful and confusing separate paths. And I often slow down without letting you know. And I fall behind enraptured as I watch you. Because all I want. All I hope for. All I could ever ask the Heavens for, at the end of my journey. At the end of life's road. Is to find you waiting for me. And to behold your beautiful face. And surrender my heart...

I couldn't believe how many stars were in the Heavens tonight. So I had a long talk with Ke Akua. About you. About me. About life. About love. About Aloha. About you again. I am so very fortunate He is so patient with me and such a good listener. The Heavens opened up wide. Then my heart opened wide. And then it was my turn to listen to Him. Lucky you...

I had a beautiful time with Akua Pele tonight. It was freezing. The moon basked us both in soft nurturing light. Pele danced and mesmerized me with her powerful expression of Aloha. We talked. We laughed. We cried. I sang her a few songs. I saw her many times in her beauty. Look carefully and you will see her too. She rocks. Literally...
