I’m up early to do some writing. Trying a new routine. See what happens, if it works.

Kaupo Church. Sitting on a windswept promontory on the south east side of Maui, this simple but beautiful church is a favorite spot of mine on the island.
The slopes of Haleakala reach down to the ocean on the more barren south east side of Maui.
As I ponder my relationship with social media, and having closed a few accounts recently, this quote caught my attention,
My day-to-day life was the same but felt less important, simply because no one else was validating it with likes and comments.
On a walk this morning I saw my first humpback whale of the season breaching the water off the cliffs of North Maui. I believe that that is a little early. They are normally expected in November.
I finally upgraded my MacBook Air to Mojave, now that SmallCubed’s MailSuite is now running on the new OS.
I’m finding my timeline is taking a while to load in the iOS app, ~ 5 seconds. Anyone else? Icro seems to load almost immediately.

Wet, grey, overcast afternoons feel just right sometimes.
Sometimes with the traffic here, I forget that I am on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Family visit, we want to show them the island…it rains… 🌧
That mid-afternoon weariness.
View while weeding in the garden this morning.
Morning dew on vetiver grass.
Oh how I love that smell of smoke from a fire place…in this case a new fire pit in our front yard….even better, one’s clothes after the fact, that have soaked up that smokey smell. 😊
Curling up with a good book tonight would be just what the doctor ordered. Sadly, it’s not going to happen.
I remember a Buddhist monk saying that, “suffering is wanting things other than they are.” It is a reflection that has always served me well…even if it is difficult to put into practice at times.
Autumn is here, my favourite season. I love the colours of the changing leaves, the leaves under foot, the temperature change, the cozy “inside” time…and yes, even the rain. But here in Hawaii the sun rises a little later and sets a little earlier…not much more.
Storm brewing => headache developing.
I would never dream of doing this, my palms start sweating just seeing a photo of someone looking over a precipitous drop, but I look forward to seeing this documentary: “Free Solo,” a Documentary About the Hardest Climb in History
Is it possible to embed my Micro.blog feed in a Weebly built website? If so, can anyone help with directions? Thank you in advance.
Seriously wondering if I can leave behind my iPhone, smart phones in general, and just make use of a retro cell phone….or am I too wired in with app use and workflow?
Virginia Wolf on the subject of inner loneliness as quoted by Olivia Laing in her book, The Lonely City,
If I could catch the feeling, I would: the feeling of the singing of the real world, as one is driven by loneliness and silence from the habitable world.

Shapes, light & shadows.
Racing airplanes across the Atlantic. I just loved the rich, deep blue of the sky.

Exploring the back streets of Bristol as the Indian Summer continues.
Late afternoon autumn sunlight through my favourite Beach Trees. As I stood there taking the photo, beach nuts were falling around me as squirrels feasted on the bounty above.
