And then my Epiphany was finally received, and I somehow “knew” that it was finally time to set forth and Walk my Talk; that it was finally time to stop merely reading about Truth or wondering about Truth or speaking about Truth, and finally time to start Living Truth instead. I don’t know how I […]
I didn’t know how to get to the Big Island after landing in Honolulu (having falsely assumed that there would be regular boat shuttles between the islands), so I wandered into town with “only the clothes on my back” and lived for the first week there in Ala Moana Park; making bracelets during the day […]
Then, after being on the receiving end of a series of “small miracles” in and around Ala Moana Park, I ended up hitching a ride on a three-seat Cessna to the Big Island of Hawaii. I arrived well after dark and simply began walking south, initially hitchhiking away from the Kailua-Kona airport by catching a […]
After Chris dropped me off on the far outskirts of Kailua-Kona, I walked onward thereafter through the night and into the following morn, eventually making it to The Place of Refuge (some 20 miles south of town), where I thereafter spent both my first full day and my first full night on “The Rock” … […]
After being immensely disappointed by the Harmonic Concordance get together at Joan Ocean’s home (to which I had been invited while still living in Tacoma, and at which I was naively certain I would receive a clear Call as to where I was to Go and what I was to Do), my next Epiphany arrived […]
And it was not too long thereafter that I became “lost” in the arid wilderness north of Kawaihae (and south of Parker Ranch), and ended up accepting the wayfinding “assistance” offered by a cardinal and a dragonfly, who flitted from tree to tree just ahead of me, and finally led me down a dusty side […]
It took about a week to windingly make it up the coast and arrive at the beginning of my journey’s final destination: the head of the Pololu Valley Trail – the path that supposedly led straight to my presumed end-goal: Waipio Valley. The journey up to that point had been regularly sprinkled with one “minor […]
After making great time along the Pololu Valley Trail for the first several hours, and smoothly traversing the first few of the six main valleys I would have to cross to ultimately arrive at Waipio, it started to become increasingly clear that the journey was going to be a bit more difficult than originally imagined. […]
I eventually made it back along the main trail to the roadway, where I then hitched a ride back to Kailua-Kona (pictured); covering in just a few hours the same distance it had taken me well over a week to walk beforehand … “No cliff is so tall that it cannot be scaled.” ~ Hawaiian […]
Over the course of the following few weeks, I still didn’t know exactly what it was that I was supposed to Do, and yet I did know that it was time to Do something – time to start embracing whatever opportunities came my way instead of looking for things “bigger” or “more important” to engage; […]
While walking to my bell-ringing post on the first day of my first Big Island job (I had vowed to only accept part-time employment while on “The Rock”, and to only accept said employment when the jobs found me, no the other way around. The Salvation Army was the first employer to come calling in […]
