Hey 420. Hawaii is beautiful. I had lived in Hana 2001. Loved it. Not much to do
and not that much rain. As I recall, then, Maui was in a draught. I would expect they
are still suffering a water shortage as many places on our planet are, except here.
It has not stopped raining since I posted last week. It has stopped for 3 or 4 hours then takes off! My goal was to "Go to the Source". A lot of what I have read for years outlined the importance of going to the source. So when I got free of work and had raised my children, I then had the opportunity to step out of line and take a chance.
I visited Chile in 2006, climbing and filming volcano Orsorno. Then visited the island
of Chiloe just to the south of Chile's mainland. I was amazed at the large amounts of
different fish that were available. Believing the Salmon knew the "direction", I followed. The fish where drawn to the source as I was. Then everything fell into place. The vegetables and fruit also were happy being near the source. Looking back,
my life then began to shift. I was struggling to break away from the material world
in California and chose to live in a place where nature is master, not $. Life now is
unfolding. Though, its sad to see so many of the people here are following the western ways and the endless wish for MORE...
One of the pleasing characteristics of Chile is just about everyone here breaks for
their mid day meal at 2pm and shops are closed till 4pm. I like that. Food is
sacred. There is much importance put on the meal and resting ones body
afterwards. A bit like Europe.
Have a Good Day!
