Random Musings on Chicago Hawaii 2008 Trip (7)

Aloha

I love the Hawaiian islands. There is a sense of freedom, serenity and shalom in the wild beauty of the islands. The weather is comfortably warm with plenty of blue skies and greenery. It calls me back when I am away too long. I feel a sense of connection to the islands which is interesting since I was not born there. Away from the tourist spots, it is comforting and welcoming.

In My Dreams
In my dreams
all wrongs are righted,
all sins are forgiven
all wounds are healed.

In my dreams
all lost friends are found
all loved ones are united
all pain is forgotten.

In my dreams
laughter replaces anger
smiles replace frowns
and love replaces hate and fear..

But then I awaken
and I realize that I cannot fix
everything that is broken in the World.
And I decide to try to make it just
a little better somehow.
