final Spalding House video

In case you can’t tell, I loved the gardens at the Spalding House. A museum above Honolulu in Makiki Heights.

Where were we? Oh yes. We left the Pu’uhonua o Honaunau and headed into Kona. She assumed that I knew the island, so I was leading the way. Parking was a mess but we navigated it fine. We tried to get a table at Huggos, a fine dining restaurant right on the water, but theyContinue reading “Big Island, day two, part two”

more gardens

In these garden videos, I mention that the quiet, sacred, secret nooks and caves might be the perfect living space for some local spirits. Watch and see what you think.

The Big Island, day two

Having arrived in that curious new world, I was anxious to explore, or rather, anxious to revisit old stomping grounds. Back in 2005, in what was to be an incredibly potent and magical year for me, I visited the Big Island for a week. In that time, I swam with the dolphins (where I wasContinue reading “The Big Island, day two”

videos from Oahu

In this video from the Spalding House museum, I am touring the gardens. The videography is less than ideal but when listening to my commentary, I chuckled out loud. In fact, all these videos are from the Spalding House.

falling in love with… joy

The I Ching points out that I, oh by the way I use several interpretations of the book of changes, yes I have a poor habit of falling in love with /fill in the blank/. Sometimes it is women. It has been computer games. It can even be with sports – I used to beContinue reading “falling in love with… joy”

The Big Island, part one

I spent four full days on the volcano isle, aka the first chakra of the Hawaiian islands. I stayed with a friend in Hawi (“Hawvi”). This is the rainy north west tip of the island. And when I say rainy, wow! It seemed to shower every hour or two. Pretty cool hearing pattering off theContinue reading “The Big Island, part one”

Oahu, days one thru six

My vacation started off on Oahu, the busy throat chakra of the Hawaiian Islands. It is the Isle of my birth, and of course our President’s as well. My father presently lives here and has for the past fifty years, so I am getting some quality time and good conversations with him. This is beingContinue reading “Oahu, days one thru six”

Careful what we wish for

Kealakekua Bay, according to several friends living on the Big Island, is supposed to be a powerful location for manifesting one’s desires. These friends are in circles with alternative health practitioners and other consciously oriented individuals. But I still am a touch skeptical when I hear these proclamations. Because there are many sacred sites onContinue reading “Careful what we wish for”

Spalding House Honolulu

Yesterday my father, friend and I went to the Makiki Heights branch of the Honolulu Museum of Art – the Spalding House. It was quite a place. Years back, this was a wealthy residence, with a tennis court, extensive outdoor gardens and swimming pool. Today, nearly every square inch is covered with beautiful art. InContinue reading “Spalding House Honolulu”
