Empathy, kindness, and tolerance. Gardens, art, and books. Family, friends, and pets. These are the things I love. Biding my time on Earth. Waiting on things above. ~gls

I captured these gorgeous colors as Kona was rotating away from the sun last night. This picture is untouched and was taken from Kona Seaspray at Kahalu'u Bay.

My granddaughter is a literal angel sent from heaven. I wonder if she's my long gone precious grandmother back for another round. My eternal soul partner.

Just finished The Goldfinch, by Donna Tartt. A genius. It took her years to write this masterpiece. It's heavy, sometimes dark, and gets deep into your psyche. A perfect novel for art lovers and anyone who has struggled with drug use. Will definitely read it again. 📚

The caste system in the US is deeply and subconsciously embedded into all of us. Wilkerson's book really helped me to see this. Our job is to break the cycle.
