It can also be the most ungrateful.<br />Sorry I had a bad encounter, should I read the book or what ?flyinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043772180964732628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32530774.post-74074742460280280952009-05-15T23:40:00.000-07:002009-05-15T23:40:00.000-07:00put my name in the virtual hat please!put my name in the virtual hat please!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434747521277196812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32530774.post-5694422526395229432009-05-15T23:13:00.000-07:002009-05-15T23:13:00.000-07:00Ooooh I love your giveaways, they are so good!

As adulthood is reached, the human body is 60-70% water. If we die a ripe old age, we'd still be about 50% water. The human brain is made up of 95% water, blood is 82% and lungs 90%.<br /><br />In other words, we exist mostly as water. It is integral, like the air we breathe.<br /><br />A mainland friend recently pointed out to me that you can actually SEE the ocean in the the people who spend their lives dedicated to an interaction with the sea. The sparkle in their eyes is bordered by the deep lines of a sunny squint...the tanned, sculpted, freckled shoulders...the salty-bleached hair. You can feel their eminating stoke...and feel the healing power as your feet push off the shore onto your board, a refreshing rush of salty mist on your face, paddling out, spiraling beneath the foam...then ultimately sliding along the surface, exiting the terrestrial realm to co-exist as an aquatic being...riding the energy...<br /><br />We are all brothers and sisters with a common passion. Yet somehow the attitudes of separatism and selfishness breed in the cesspools of mental, emotional, and spiritual stagnation. Much like the necessity of movement and flow for healthy stream systems / estuaries, our positive energy must circulate and flow to transfer and nourish...like the blood in our veins. We must resist a stagnant state, and stagnant attitudes...integrate with that channel of least resistance. <br /><br />Flow together.<br /><br />No matter where we are geographically, LIVE ALOHA.<br /><br />The ocean and the land offer so much. It's integral to our lifestyle. How are we honoring the mana / power / life force...respecting...appreciating...and taking responsibility / stewardship? In the Hawaiian language we call it "malama"..."pono". Human culture was once collectively and intimately privvy to the intelligence offered by nature. Why did we separate ourselves to such degrees?<br /><br />How are we manifesting our intentions...takin it to the next level...taking ACTION to preserve and protect that which we love? Whatever our medium for expression...writing, painting, singing...even just talking story...these are all tools to set those intentions in motion.<br /><br />Thank you Jaimal for facilitating the awareness, sharing your experiences, and perpetuating the flow among the varioius communities you have reached. Mahalo and shout-out to da Pineapple luv, as well...<br /><br /><br />“Never doubt that a group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
