Aloha Spirit

These may sound like the ramblings of  a mad man, but I assure you that there is no madness in my mind as I type these words to whomever's eyes they may grace.  This morning while going to get the newspaper and a little fresh air, while at the stop sign, a purple minivan with a large samoan drivin it was waiting to take a left as I was awaitin a right turn onto S Kihei Rd.  I looked at him, he looked at me, not in the way that the the streets were gonna clear like back in the old west because a gun fight was a brewin, but in the "Hey wait a minute, I may not remember a name, but that smilin face is one I won't forget".  So it took a bit for the traffic to clear and the dumbfounded gazes to pass, but as it did my friend who  I have not seen in three or so years, passed by me shootin the Shaka, yellin "What up bruddah" and smiled with the most genuine smile a person can posess.  I knew it was my friend when the "Grin went from cheek to cheek", and his gold tooth glistened off the sun.  I have been awake for about an hour or so, but as I have always been bad with names, to start my day seeing an old familiar, friendly face does wonders for the soul and the mind.  Every person i have seen  today since then has shown me the same smile, patience and appreciation for life.  The Aloha Spirit!
