We watched The Courier last night. A true Cold War spy story, connected to Cuban Missile Crises. I’ve always felt that the Cold War makes the best spy stories, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one…all the more so that it was based on a true story. 🍿
Well it seems as though there was a 5.0 earthquake just off the coast of the Big Island of Hawai’i at a depth of 12.7km, but was felt here on Maui. It felt as though the house was hit with a thud.
Woah! The whole house just shook. An earthquake?
Aaahhh, the first coffee of the day… ☕️
Do Not Disturb! 📖✍🏻
Where’s the rewind button for today? I was productive, got done some work that needed to be done and lie here exhausted, but it was not what I intended. 🥱
Friday evening sunset from Ho’okipa. A beautiful evening. Warm, the ocean refreshing, and a family member taking guests out for surfing lessons. There was a real end-of-the-week atmosphere there, with everyone having a grandstand view of the setting sun.
Mother and calf - it is not only the humans who enjoy the views around here.
The Harshness of Interruptions
When I read this this essay by Nancy Kline of Time to Think I thought, ”YES!” I’ll go further - I felt, “YES!” Kline speaks, not mincing her words, of how interruption is an assault. In the first paragraph of the essay she says as much, Interruption is assault. She goes on to say, There is violence in it. Interruption is a slice made into the guts of an as yet unfinished idea.
A “Good Morning” rainbow. 🌈
Garden harvest.
Interview for the INFClub
I was recently interview by Jas Hothi, @jasraj on Micro.blog, for Episode 61 of the INFClub podcast. We had a great conversation, along with plenty of laughter, covering topics such as travel, buddhism, writing, men and high sensitivity. Thank you to Jas for inviting me to join him on the podcast. The show notes and links to the podcast, audio and video, can be found here.
Although it has recently re-opened, I have not been in this theatre for at least 18 months. It might be close to two years. What a time we have collectively been through.
In 2021, once again, Congress will be voting on a measure that will define who we are.

Plants and flowers in the garden early this morning. The white flower on the left is a Spanish Dagger, of the Yucca family. The purple flowers on the right are Agapanthus.
I was awake early this morning, just before 4:30am. For no particular reason, I just woke up. It was beautifully still and quiet. There was no one else around. I sat and did some reflective journaling, grateful for the alone time. Now, lunchtime, I’m feeling tired.
Looking up to a sliver of a New Moon with Venus just to the left and up a bit (south west?) of it. You might be able to make them out in the photo?
Approaching the top,
and the view over Hana.
