Haleakala looks over us at the skies clear at the start of Concert For Our Lives Maui. What a great day. Thanks to all involved.
Photographs
Throw back to an unexpected and fun weekend in Newport, OR with an old friend a few years back.
Keeping the germs at bay.
This rather dark photo, a scan from a slide (remember them?!), was taken in 1989 when I was 25. I believe that it was taken somewhere in central Pakistan, perhaps near Lahore? The weather was baking hot, just dry heat, and I was on the start of a trip that would take me up through Pakistan on the Karakoram Highway to the Khunjerab Pass into China. I traveled through China to Hong Kong, and then onto Nepal and India. The journey was to change my life forever with the discovery of Tibetan Buddhism. That odyssey was almost 30 years ago, but some memories from it remain strong. In my latest blog post I explore the the comfort and reassuring power of memories. Link in bio.
That’s snow on the summit of Haleakala this morning - the first time that I have seen it up there. We had a very brief hail storm down here yesterday and a lot of rain. It seems that it was cold enough for the white stuff at 10,000ft
Another perspective.
Throw back to street art in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami.
Slow Sunday.
Just before the men arrived for the 3rd gathering of Introvert/HSP I-Group here on Maui.

Thank you 2017 - from while I was on Instagram.

Evening sit.
Morning colours with rainbow.
An electrical storm, torrential rain two nights ago, a power outage, poor cell service & no internet all day yesterday…and more rain, meant for a quiet day, rest and time with a book.
Watching the show 🌅

“Boxes, boxes everywhere, and still no place to sit,” with apologies to Hemmingway. With a recent move it feels as though we have been unpacking boxes forever. It has been a real patience practice as I yearn to get back to more creative endeavors, as well as my introverted nature calling out for some solitary time.
However for all that, I mustn’t loose site of the fact that we are blessed with a beautiful new house.
Hazy sunset after rain. Restful. Peaceful.
