Sunday morning. Woke up and changed into walking clothes. Went to the kitchen and picked up the car keys. Turned around and giggled them in the air in front of the pups and the riot and run for the back door was on!! They stood relatively quiet for their leashing and use their utmost best behavior as they walked themselves to the passenger door of the Impreza. I open the door and they do the bump...you know...they know they can't jump into the car from the ground (they're critters) so they fake it until I pick them up and deposit them into the back section and mosey out to the roadway. They know where we are going...out to the ocean side...the beach...and they show their expectancies. Chloe encourages me on under her breath and Sadie taps me on the shoulder...encouraging me to make it quicker. We get there and its not a crowd by any means. We've got the whole area pretty much to ourselves and the air is soooo clean and clear. The light is subdued because the sun is hiding behind many clouds and there is light. We are at ease and comfortable so we start our jaunt again, me with my memory from last Sunday. I want to duplicate last Sunday...I want the spirituality back into my own spirit and so I walk patiently because I know the relationship doesn't let me down. The time arrives and I see the Ahu again...the old cultural rock altar with the small cultural garden (loi) before it and I walk out to the waters edge and duplicate the chants and as I do I look up into the atmosphere and the heavens that surround me and it all becomes very surrealistic again...it's beyond 3 dimensional. I don't only see it from outside of me I see it from inside of me and I feel...I become a part of it again and I wish this for everyone else...a dimension beyond feeling blessed. I feel absorbed into it and when I'm done I feel that peace that comes from true gratitude. There is no way that this all can exist without us. My feeling? It is made with us. It exist because of us. You were all there. I took you there as I took you all to the gardens I work within. Ho`omaika`i Blessings. ((((hugs))))

Thank you Jerry - your sentiments echo my own feelings on where I find God - out in nature.
