The Gift of
a Wonderful
World
HAWAII
ere upon us is the threshold that defines yet another seasonal
divide. Subtle as the "b" in the word subtle came "Makahiki"
creeping up in a most subtle way. Suddenly waking up to sunshine
came to be to a dark dawn. As my morning emerges, my sleepy
Hcountenance derives simple pleasures with the sun peeking from
its home behind Haleakala. Then the comical and fascinating show begins. Picture
this, a rooster strutting proudly along the road fronting my window, and, alas! Some
odd number of hens and chicks follow as if it had a father figure leading the way, to
where? Who knows? Remember I have a window view and not a panoramic lens.
So here I sit enjoying my first cup of coffee when out of nowhere a flock of birds
swoop down in unison as if greeting the first light.
