Reflecting at the end of the Day

The Moiliilil Water Cave and Layers of Reality

Good Morning, God! After reading my blog on Draining Pools of Pain a friend reminded me of the Water Cave under the Kokua Market parking lot. Years ago I had heard that there were underground caverns along King Street, but

A Day of Rest

Good Afternoon, God! I was way too relaxed to try to write this morning. Relaxed, thankful and perhaps a tad depleted. Also, not willing to tussle with online network problems at the hotel. Funny, God, how cheap hotels provide free

A Window into Our Valley and Our Thoughts

Good Morning, God! I do love seeing familiar things from new perspectives. Amazingly, I was at 24 Hour Fitness the other day — yes, exercising — when I looked out the window and saw Our Valley. The angles were such

Good Morning, God! In scanning through my recent photos, including some glorious scenes at Sandy Beach, I found this lovely close-up of a humble spider lily. Compelling, I thought. But, Why? Maybe my husband Kit is right and it is
