Renewed Life
Aloha, Much progress since last I blogged…. Renewed everything; home, art, work, love, life…I am now living on Maui, working as an artist full time. KLARITY is thriving here, which is pretty darn easy to imagine, and even more fun to actually live it in brilliant colors of turquoise and rainbows!! ART: Stone Tapestry; 6 new stores since May. MUSIC: Singing and Songwriting; writing and collaborating, connecting with musicians and signed up with two music booking agencies here to start singing at clubs as soon as I am ready to roll…Bliss. HOME: Eco-KLARITY & Earth Art Workshops being offered on Maui. First things first; I am doing lots of yoga and taking walks overlooking the ocean, the creek and the lush jungle cliffs, while getting my new off-grid home in order. It is looking and feeling very good to be settled, grounded & growing in paradise. I live in a flowering jungle with 50 banana trees, papayas, coconuts, coffee beans, geckos, chameleons, a wandering rooster, and his trailing parade of hens. I live 15-mins. hiking distance from freshwater waterfalls, a creek, and the ocean! The rooster is so sweet. I even like being woken up to cockadoodle dooooooo at all hours of the day and night. He doesn’t really keep good time. I am planning my food forest and enjoying a very beautiful neighborhood full of amazing new friends. We had Christmas caroling and a big pot luck a few nights ago. I felt very welcome and had a fun time with everyone, the kids and our “pack of dogs.” Mer has lots of friends now. Today was the first chance I’ve had to go and sit at Ho’okipa to watch the world class windsurfers do their thing on sets of 4 waves at a time, with back spray from raging winds that sent clouds of mist off the towering piggyback waves in rainbow colors. It was like looking at swirling clouds of rainbows. I meant to bead. I stood transfixed. In awe of the beauty of our nature! Our magnificent, amazing, iridescent world of wonder. Really happy to discover this grassy cliff overlooking the beach and action. There were lots of people with huge cameras, and couples, families, dogs, babies, all watching and enjoying the sunny day. Yes, it is December 18th!! Sunday…and I had a very enlightening experience watching windsurfers fly, literally, and then I beaded for a while with the sound of the wind calming my every cell like a lullaby. All this after six months (May to November) working with The Resonance Project in Holualoa, on the Big Island, Hawaii. That was a wild ride. We built an entire physics research park on 5 acres of a wild 97 acre sacred ahu pua’a = piece of land. It was one acre wide and about 97 acres from low to high…beautiful monkey pod trees, afternoon rains pounding on my tin roof, cardinal birds, wild turkeys, black pigs running around, and my dog, Mer, wondering where she was. I would say alot: “Mer, we’re not in Santa Barbara anymore.” … And we could see a show every night; the sunset over Kailua-Kona. That was a treat. We had a great time swimming with dolphins, eating white pineapple, going out to eat a lot since we had no kitchen…Very simple living while in construction of two homes and a redwood and cedar sacred geometry kitchen for the three couples who plan to live on the land. I spent six months assisting, working from 7am to sunset, went for a swim at Magic Sands Beach almost every night as the sun set, and lived through three 20-foot waves in a freak set on September 14th. I was reborn by that experience!!!, so grateful to be alive…., and when the job was all over….my home on the land went with my job so I was free to renew my life and I opened myself to all possibilities. At that moment, a friend came sailing up from Australia to visit me on the Big Island and he was heading to Maui, so I went for a 4-day trip, a much-needed relaxing holiday….and as soon as I stepped onto shore…never mind the five-hour channel crossing all night that whipped us around violently, up and down and side to side, and up and down, and ahhhhh!!!! yuck. ………..I felt a new energy on Maui, I felt really uplifted by the lively town and art filling the shops. It felt good to be on Maui. All I know is my intuition was right on–as usual. Maui called me home…..I had only ever been to Maui for one week in 1980, and yet I feel more at home here than almost any place on earth. It is a tie with Topanga! I feel totally free and inspired. I moved to Maui on 11.11.2005. Glad to catch up….Peace & clarity,
