“Aloha (/əˈloʊhɑː/ ə-LOH-hah, Hawaiian: [əˈlohə]) is the Hawaiian word for love, affection, peace, compassion and mercy, that is commonly used as a greeting. It has a deeper cultural and spiritual significance to native Hawaiians, for whom the term is used to define a force that holds together existence.”
Today was my last day in Fallbrook for pottery. They took me to this wonderful Chinese restaurant, Peking Wok, in Bonsall, had reserved a room and gave me the most beautiful parting gifts. Diane gave me a gorgeous lei, to say aloha…not good-bye. Kim’s beautiful card and piece of her pottery, Joan’s card and her painting, Lloyd’s card and a bookmark of his photography and Celeste’s card. Patrice and Jim were going to come but they both have Covid but she sent me a message yesterday to say goodbye.
Such wonderful people. Such a great memory.
Because of the political turmoil my return is tenuous, so this departure is sadder than usual. Such good people. I’m such a lucky guy!
