Aloalo Bridal Path Exotic Hibiscus
Exotic tropical Aloalo
Beautiful Hibiscus
Waihe’e Maui Hawai’i
“Perfect instants:
fervent, fleeting, pungent,
wisps of time
dispelled by touch.
The instant
of winding;
of warmth at the core
curling and swelling.
The instant
of being wound in smooth,
sliding, hardening coils.
The instant
of roused flesh
ruffled,
magnetized.
The instant
of unwinding
what was wound.
The instant
of dreaming
before the dream flies
on lilac-sheer ephemeral wings.” poetry Author Unknown

beautiful macro Sharon, the verse fits well, and I’m glad you helped yourself to it
Sharon Mau replied
Mahalo Vickie, thank you so much. I love the beautiful quote on your homepage and resonate with the truth in the words. Mahalo for your kindness. Please let Teresa know I am thinking of her and wish her a quick recovery. I tried to call her and received no answer. If you speak with her, please tell her I love her, she is my sweet sister in spirit. Aloha ‘oe

Sharon Mau replied
Aloha Sean, thank you so much. The sun was setting over West Maui as we were visiting dear friends in Waihe’e, and so the beautiful bloom is backlit. I am delighted you enjoy it.
Vickie Emms
I already did Sharon. She is home and I spoke with her again this evening. She will love to know you have her in your heart at this terrible time for her. Many thanks xoxo
