Travelling home

We packed up our things and sped to Kapaa to meet Mike, Nancy and Ellen for breakfast.

Saying good byes, and biarding the plane to SF. Two mivie were shown. We chose Into the Woods and then reac our books.

In SF our flight to PDX was delayed, and then cancelled!

We ate at a little bistro. I had a ceasar with shrimp. Once the flight was xancelled Dan actex quickly to schedule a flight home on Slaska for 7 am. 

Pilgrim was super good and he was tested! He ate a nornal scoop and a half, pooped and then we fkew. He wS hungry of course, so we fed him after our flight wAs xancelled. He had a scoop. He peed and we slept in the International Ticket area, until we could get tickets in the morning.

We didn't sleep more than an hour.

Saturday Alohas

Grey cloud cloaked morning.

Coffee and cereal on the lanai. A trip to the point in a gentle shower. It's going to rain all day. We take a drive to the Kiluea Market for a apple rose Kombucha and a slice of lasagne which we share for lunch.

We also visit the UCC Ccraft Fairwhere we choose two pieces of art for just $25.

The dolphins are for Jill. Outs the plumeria.

At the office i buy a post cardfor Bhavani 

And snap afew picyures of what i want to paint. Then we take a doip in the hot tub with our hats on of course. It's raining! Even Pilgrim stays home.

At three it's time for a movie. A River Runs Through it. And we begin hapyhour. Still rains that soak. Dinner is at Hideaways Pub just up the road a piece.

We have a perfect view of the pool and a sunset, if only! More rain puddles.

We shareda large ceasar and a 10 inch pizza. We packed in earnest before watching The English Patient which finally made sense.

Last Friday

Tree trimming early in the day, palm fronds fall and a chipper comes in to make mulch of them. After a brief peek at the turtle pools we leave here for Anini Beach. We observe fishermen there.

We spend long luxurious hours there, as its pleasant today. I find many ys! Do a little yoga and call Dad. Pilgrim retrieves sticks. Dan wades and rests up for date night!

At 2 we roll up to the Fish Market for a ahi wrap which we shareonce we get home. It's 'eat it up' day and we add a sushi and salad. 

We stroll thegrounds here viewing units from the outside in as we consider next years application.

We shower and dress for the slackkey   concert at 4:00. Pilgrim has been a little 'punk' all day snd seeing Doug really perks him up

Pilgrim loves his 'communion time with the dog whispere!

After the show i take Pilgrim to pee and a man asks Dan if i am his daughter! What?!

Dan gas brought cocktails in the cooler, so we sit at sundown near the taro patch, hanalei mts closkedin fog and sip gin and scotch. Dinner at Bar ACuda awaits!

The bread abd sweet salty butter have never tasted so fragrant and floury.

I taste thr lentils and askgor the radicchio salD with pecans, gorgonzols arugula and balsamic. It pairs perfectly with the Mouverde. We share a few bites of the pizza ( the original inspiration for coming) and Dan talksme into the Roasted hanalei banana ice cream with salted caramel sauce and a peanut butter cookie. Best thing i've eaten all year!

Home to watch Glory.

Relax Deeply with Katie

Determined to restore relationship tonight, when she asked if we needed to share anything about our bodies, i did. " i've lost most of my vision", i said. Katie was very attentive throughout class.

Maria was there again. She offered to pick me up here in Zprinceville to take me to 8:00 am class!

First K said, If you have issues with your breathe, Resolve them! Ehat a queer thing to say ;) i was 'hooked'

That poem!

Poem (The spirit likes to dress up...) by Mary Oliver

The spirit
likes to dress up like this:
ten fingers, 
ten toes,

shoulders, and all the rest
at night
in the black branches,
in the morning

in the blue branches
of the world.
It could float, of course,
but would rather

plumb rough matter.
Airy and shapeless thing,
it needs 
the metaphor of the body,

lime and appetite,
the oceanic fluids;
it needs the body's world,
instinct

and imagination
and the dark hug of time,
sweetness
and tangibility,

to be understood,
to be more than pure light
that burns
where no one is --

so it enters us --
in the morning
shines from brute comfort
like a stitch of lightning;

and at night
lights up the deep and wondrous
drownings of the body
like a star.
