Aloha

This Package arrived in the mail for me yesterday.

It was packed to the brim with Aloha from my Ohana

in the islands I love.

Dozens of letters, chocolates, cookies,

 pictures,  more chocolates, macademian nuts,

and my favorite quava juice,
overflow and overwhelm my heart.

It has just about everything but the sea itself.

Oh my sweet friends,

I feel the love

and my gratitude is bigger than the surf

on the north shore in January.

I wish I could pack myself up in that

box and return to you fed ex style.

Then we could sit by the sea,

and feel the sand between our toes,

and find precious seashells

that remind us while we are being

tossed against the rocks of uncertainty,
that

God is just smoothing us out

and shaping us in to some thing

more precious and more beautiful

than our jagged edges.

oh I send my Aloha.

Aloha on steroids.

ya.

Thats how much I love you!
Mahalo my dear friends!
