My Favorite Word?

This was taken with my Aunty Georgia

at the magical gardens of 

The Kona Coast's beautiful Keauhou Beach Resort 

a year before the hotel was demolished in 2012.

Aloha shared there lives on.

Breath of Life

Asheville, North Carolina sunrise

There is a surreal presence
sometimes
when I am watching the sun rise.
Usually, I am saying my prayers,
listening to the singing birds
waiting
and breathing in and out
this beautiful world that surrounds me.
