HOW DO YOU REMAIN FREE?

You know...this was a harder question to answer and put into words than I thought it would be. Mostly because freedom, to me, is such a personal sovereign space that cannot be spoken for. Freedom is what moves me to live and create my daily life. It does not necessarily have to feel happy all the time, but open. It has to feel open to the flow of living and finding my center no matter what’s going on around me.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE?

This isn’t a quote, but it is a share from one of my very favorite writers and dreamers. I encourage you to read some of his stuff as it is so relevant to these expansive and unusually mysterious times..... “you might come to see that forward movement is no longer possible in these moments, and the way to go was never forward anyway, but awk ~ ward : into the blackness of catacombs, into the darkness of sanctuary, into the riven cracks signed with the pen of the trickster, into the heated compost, into the position of a prostrated man who knows that when the storm roars the only thing left to do is to be still. In that stillness, entire worlds churn.....” ~bayo akomolafe

WHAT WAS YOUR LAST REALLY GOOD IDEA?

oh my goodness ! I’ve had so many of them, but let me see.... I guess it would have to be hiking out to one of my very favorite ridges that overlook the Na’Pali coast, and then camp there on a full and new moon night. The full moon would light up ridge lines in such soft and dreamlike tones and the ocean would glitter its magic. The new moon would host those very special end of summer, beginning of fall constellations that would make their way across our vast and spectacular night sky. What do ya think? Good idea??

SHARE A STORY ABOUT COMMUNAL BATHING--

My daughter Ginger Lei had a sleepover with ten of her besties. They wanted to take a drive to the cold pond and night bathe. I think the moon was waning because it was dark! We splashed around, jumped into the pond from the big rock, and got ourselves clean and chilled. Then we went home, sat around the tea table, sipped hot tea and talked about everything teenager~ish. Then they all took turns massaging each other!
