All Pursuits Worthwhile: A Salute to the Evens, Odds and Ends of Time

                 life is too short not to love

 

Here is to the wonderful world, the chiming in of every sound in time to create the timeless chorus.  The barking dogs, laughing children, singing birds, fragrant orchids, new leaf buds on ohia trees, the phone call from a decade old friend, bear hug from your little brother, the stars in the sky, a roasted marshmallow onto of a Hershey’s.  They all fit into this jingle jangle jigsaw.

Here is to the Music Makers
the Dreamers of Dreams
equipped with Eyelashes
Dark hair and sunglasses
Our Destination: tomorrow
Our Purpose: today
And child and a grandpa,
A big ball of Clay
I will keep on walking
As long as my heart is still beating
And I will keep on hoping
This existence is not so fleeting

There is more than what is here
Greater than the plants and the Sun
What we grasp and what we don’t know
Is all nothing, is all one
You’ll see me loving,
You’ll catch me playing
This game has no ending,
If you know what I’m saying

 

Here is to the special group of loved ones who have shined so much light on this world they had to move onto the next.  We’ve witnessed miracles in their presence, we know they are having the time of their life whenever they see us smile. 

 

There is no end for the mortals

no space too wide for teleportals
no path too travelled for the beats
no soul too small for whitman and keats
no reason for me to explain
why not to extinguish this flame
when the colors merge in the night
and the wingless birds begin to take flight
 

Sending aloha and happy holidays and warmth and peace from a tiny rock in the middle of the sea.
So far away, yet we stare at the same moon.
