Aloha, Mahalo, from Maui

I notice all of these Hawaiian words (Aloha, Mahalo) sound like our 'Hello'...maybe that is the translation. The weather is so perfect, gentle winds through these tall pines and coconut and banana trees...and the sun phases in and out long enough to give you a break from the directness of it at the shore...everyone is 'tranquilo' as they say in Costa Rica, and there are no big deals.

You shop, you hike, you beach, you coffee, you beer..whatever..but my point is that we're all drifting through the day in sync with the gusts of wind, and they blow away any momentary worries and it keeps you very present and relaxed.

I have work to do but I know there's snorkeling close at hand...that is my dilemma, my excruciating concern.

I'm making mental notes for paintings, songs, writings. Such an inspiration, I know how 'The Old Man and the Sea' got written...from remembering a place like this.

Peace, Namaste, Cheers, Ciao.

perform a small miracle, please

A calm whirlwind. I'm going to create at least 10 paintings in the next three days, which normally would take twelve days..I need them for my show. My recent awakening spiritually has left me feeling no sense of urgency at all, no worry, and has had an affect on the work in that I haven't been producing nearly so much. I'll get plenty done and everything will turn out fine.

sum fun sung yung!!  moon soon wacky loon!!

I have a huge agenda till Christmas....tons of writing, music, video production and painting...also sellingn and moving elsewhere. It will all happen, as if by magic.

To anyone reading this who has practiced meditation, or sitting, for the purpose of self realization, or liberation: please keep doing it. There is freedom at the end of your search. The end can be today. Sit, still the mind, just Be. It gets deeper and deeper and finally when the ego disappears, all that's left is the Great Mind, the Great Spirit. We all know this stuff, and it's so easy to do it, but years go by and we don't.

Do something fantastic today, for yourself, or for someone else - I can feel it already, it's going to be a fantastic day!
