A Christmas Eve moon. A Merry Christmas to everyone. 🎄

Repost Ruminate magazine: Found this note to myself from two years ago from one of my favorite spiritual nonfiction authors Robert Benson. Still learning about saying yes to rest and silence…hope I’m always learning.

Church.

Kahului Airport (Maui), cell phone waiting area!

Parking lot views.

Sunset & ocean.

The vastness of Haleakala sweeping down to the ocean.

Weathered coconut.

This fellow came over for a chat while I was parked up yesterday.

Old Maui High - resting after an uphill bike ride in the wind.

Memories of a lovely Thanksgiving evening with family & friends.

On this Thanksgiving Day, feeling Gratitude for having The Downs in Bristol, England outside my front door when I was growing up. Fresh air and the abundance of nature to play in. A photograph from a visit there over the summer earlier this year.

Disconnecting from the world. Taking time out to recharge, reflect, take stock. Leaving behind the busyness of the world for a few hours, days, weeks - it will get by without you and will be there when you return. Making time for retreat. New on the blog (see link in my profile).

When the sun doesn’t shine.

Looking towards the West Maui’s.

Sunset on the roof of the world - Haleakala National Park. Freezing but beautiful.

Sunset at Keanae.

And so it starts, a couple of months enjoying my favorite coffee from my two favorite coffee shops in Portland, Sterling Coffee & Local Roasting Co - I miss having these guys just round the corner from me.

Thank you to Melissa for mailing these to me.

Sunset over the West Maui Mountains.

View from The High Line in New York City this last summer.
