The white dove of peace has flown

He's a white pigeon (actually), but the sentiment remains the same.   This is from Ala Moana Beach Park about mid-day (notice the shadows) when I went to pickup the lantern for the lantern floating ceremony to be held later in the day.  Over 7,000 lanterns were floated and over 50,000 people came.

"Lantern Floating Hawaii is a Buddhist ceremony open to all of any religion or culture that allows time and space to remember, honor, and offer gratitude to those who laid a foundation for our lives today. "
