Pono and I were lucky enough to go over to Lanai for an overnight. Tutu (Hawaiian for Grandma) watched the kids and we took the ferry over on Saturday afternoon and set up camp at the bay. It was just beautiful!! We built a small kind fire and snuggled together for the first time without a child’s interruption since we started having babies eight years ago. We now have three, the baby Maile just turned two and finally weaned!! Needless to say we've been looking forward to this for a LOOOONG time! The best part, though, was in the morning. We woke up for sunrise and ran down to the ocean with our snorkel gear and fins. We swam out to where we saw a few dolphins. Pono's good buddy Dave, who is a long time surfboard painter, gave us this stuff he made out of quartz crystals and some kinda metal shavings called Organite to give to the dolphins.

Sometimes I cannot even believe I am writing this blog.
I used to hate computers. I had this weird boyfriend I met on my travels in India who would flip his laptop open the first thing in the morning. I would just look at him and wonder if he was already a lost soul or just a slave of his habits (which I knew I would eventually break down, of course).
When Tara asked me to do this blog, my immediate response was “No way!” I had never even read any blogs, so why on earth I would be writing one? But there you go--Tara got me in by using her usual unassailable reasoning. She said that if I didn’t write there and defend organic life--by which she meant the Feminine Wisdom, of course--then those geeks and tech addicts would have all the possible impact on people and deviate their readers from the real issues of this planet.
After hearing that, what else could I do?

I have been meaning to write this for some time now, but you know how it is with kids. Somebody is always interrupting, asking something, needing your help or just simply wanting you. Well, that is just the way it is with parenting. One needs to put oneself on the background, on hold. As with many moms, my mind is filled with ideas and thoughts that I never seem to have time to write down. So now I take a moment for myself…
Since having my first baby some years ago—which was, by the way, a totally unplanned yet most joyful event—I have come to believe that mothers are blessed with a special gift.

Since moving to Hawaii, I have come to see life as a dazzling kaleidoscope of unfolding possibilities... I also started to learn about what is called ‘aloha’, the traditional Hawaiian attitude towards life.
The seven main points are:
1. IKE: The World Is What You Think It Is
2. KALA: There Are No Limits
3. MAKIA: Energy Flows Where Attention Goes
4. MANAWA: Now Is The Moment Of Power
5. ALOHA: To Love Is To Be Happy With
6. MANA: All Power Comes From Within
7. PONO: Effectiveness Is The Measure Of Truth
How do these work for me and my positron attitude? |

What is the most important thing in life? I would say it is life itself. But what does that mean? My life now? To me, swimming in a fresh island pool under a giant waterfall is one of things that I live for. For other people, it might mean a four car garage and poodle-shaped swimming pool. But none of these are life itself. For that, I have to go to the source. |
