Photo: Pololu to Bamboo poem


On one sunny day 🌞
We cruised up to Pololu
Embracing Hawaii nei
To find a patch of bamboo
⁣⁣
⁣Swinging on ropes
The verdancy washed by
Then an ill-advised swim and…
Subsequent waiting to dry
⁣⁣
⁣Yet we pushed on
Scrambling up the slopes
Found a spot with a Grand View
Though it was not Pololu
⁣⁣
⁣’Twas a new valley
Name: Honokāne Nui
Brushing past spires of bamboo
The Antidote to Ennui

⁣⁣(In case you’re new to this lovely word “ennui” it’s pronounced ahn-wee.) Thanks to everyone who helped make that day possible! You know who you are.

Photo: Red Road of Change poem


You can watch the road get covered
⁣⁣
⁣You can watch your old life burn down
⁣⁣
⁣But CHANGE is part of your process
⁣⁣
⁣In sadness, you don’t have to drown
⁣⁣
For above that sharp, raw earth
⁣⁣
⁣Unfolds a spectacular vignette

We learn what the lessons were worth

And bask in the golden sunset
⁣⁣
⁣A big mahalo to everyone who reached out, in any way, and brightened my week. This is for you. 💗
