Beauty

I wish I could just live in Hawaii and not worry about life's daily problems.


Hawaii hosts it's 11th annual Lantern Floating Ceremony on May 25th. I wish I could go to see this outstanding moment. History is that lantern floating is a time-honored Buddhist rite, originating in Japan, conducted in order to pay respects to our ancestors and to comfort the spirits of the deceased.
The lanterns carry our heartfelt prayers for those who have sacrificed their lives in war, victims of water-related accidents, natural disasters, famine and disease, as well as loved ones and ancestors who have passed away.
Truly a brilliant concept and idea, as well as beautiful.
