Big Island day four
After a busy couple of days with a new friend, my final day on the Big Island was more chill. The friend I had been staying with wanted to do the Atlantis submarine tour, so we geared up for that. We arrived early, so we enjoyed a drink in the yacht club. We got toContinue reading “Big Island day four”
Big Island, day three
Day three found me pondering whether or not to do the hike we had planned. Let’s just put it like this, at times, I can be terrified of heights. And the description of the hike was an acrophobe’s worst nightmare. It went something like this: the hike is pleasant for the first several miles, goingContinue reading “Big Island, day three”
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.
Big Island, day two, part two
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

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”
