Going back to yesterday… Sunday. I went to church with my father, but arrived an hour early. I hadn’t done Dharma practice yet, so it was quite interesting practicing in the small Episcopal sanctuary (St. Luke’s on Judd St.). This was a church where I spent some time in the past – I went toContinue reading “a mystic in paradise, part 9.5, mystics doing mystical things”

Hello Dear Ones, I woke up this morning (on Oahu) to exciting news that Mauna Loa – the largest volcano in the world (from a certain perspective) – was erupting! It has been swelling with lava for the past few years and since September, there have been thousands of micro-earthquakes. So people knew the eruptionContinue reading “a mystic in paradise, part ten, volcanic excitement”

Hello Dear Ones, Thank you for joining me on this journey through Hawaii adventures. I plan to post pictures soon. Yesterday I was on the bus for a long time. Going up to the North Shore also means stopping at a dozen stops in Kaneohe, and then another twenty stops on the way up theContinue reading “a mystic in paradise, part nine, surfing the waves of change”

Hello Dear Ones, I am on Oahu now. Different vibes than southern Hawai’i (the Big Island). Oahu (the entire island) has close to a million people on it.

So I am feeling this population density, considering I am staying withContinue reading “a mystic in paradise, part 8.5, an ocean of consciousness”

Hello Dear Ones! I was staying for a few days down at Ocean View (a very interesting and remote community near the southern tip of the Big Island). It was a nice place to land. I got to visit the Black Sands Beach twice (it was amazing energy, great swimming!) and I hiked around theContinue reading “a mystic in paradise, part seven, Swimming with Dolphins!”

Friday… another long and great day. Inner yoga today. Then on the road heading for a black sand beach – Punalu’u Black Sand Beach park. This was quite an experience. The ocean was active, pounding away on the lava rocks. I walked out on the sharp lava, carefully. Said some prayers and intentions, made aContinue reading “a mystic in paradise, part 6.5, go with the flow”

Hiking Kileau Iki crater The clouds covered the sun, Rain sprinkled, cooling waters, In need of rain, invite the blessings, Seeing steam last time I hiked it, Surprising to note it was a lake of lava, Just in 1959… Ranger said it was safe, How does he know? There is steam rising From the cinderContinue reading “Quick words after hiking in Volcanoes”
