A New Day

Aloha !

Its early afternoon and scorchingly hot and sunny outside . It rains heavy during the night , and then the sun comes out all day , most days. It is really beautiful and lush here.

Everyday, I have my steel oats with maple yogurt , 1 tsp of cinnamon and a spoon of brown sugar . My plate at breakfast is loaded with fresh fruits . I eat at least 1 whole papaya a day , sometimes 2 papayas.

I missed Restorative Yoga today as it coincided with figure drawing.  I was told that the 2 hour restorative yoga class only had 4 poses. In some classes, I do non-stop planks and downward dogs.  Cathy , who teaches the class is very funny . Some of the yoga classes are really challenging .

We went to a local artist's beautiful home and drew from a live model for 3 hours. The 3 hours went by so quickly . There is no yoga scheduled for the rest of the day as Kalani is preparing for the Puna Music Festival  that starts tonight and goes on for about a week. So, tonight, I am going to a concert !  The tickets tonight is regularly 35.00 but for volunteers, its 10 buckeroos ! :)  I met a couple from Vancouver today at lunch ! They are guests here and are on their honeymoon . Only been married for a week , and as the bride said, " We're still together ! :)   "  

There is a tree swing near the Lanai where we eat  our meals . After lunch, I went to the swing with my ice coffee and just daydreamed........what a luxury to have this kind of time to just SIMPLY  BE .

In spite of the current blackness within my confined sleeping environment , I feel that I am the luckiest girl in the world ! Beth saged my room while I was away to figure drawing. She will do so again , in 2 weeks time , to clear every darkness , every possible negative energy out of every corner . I can deal with living within the darkness for another 2 weeks. I am the Light in the Darkness. Its been a very long time since I have felt such darkness emanating so strongly and so powerfully from someone. Deep , deep inside, I think that there may still be some light within that person.

The singing bowl sang sweetly when it was over my bed , my only space , in two part harmony......I apparently have a double vibration.......I am fascinated . I definitely want to be present when my room gets the burning sage treatment again .  The hawk feather fan that Beth uses in the ceremony is beautiful .

To paint or not to paint  , that is the question right now . I have a free day and will work again tomorrow in the kitchen at 6:00 a.m.

I have left a beautiful thought for all of you , at the Point at Kalani , on the tree swing overlooking the ocean surf.........I think I will go there and do some ice cream therapy right now !

Namaste....
Aloha,
