Beach Walk 683 – The Past is Gone

More Twitter inspiration, this time from my friend in the Bay Area Jen Myronuk. There is a very popular sentiment – to reminisce on the past and believe that things back then were “always better” that life today is a mess and getting messier. I choose not to go there today. It does not serve me to think the good old days are all gone. I know change is easier for some than others, but really, isn’t that 101 stuff right? Why be sad over things we cannot change when we can put energy on the things we can affect, the people we do love? Pleas join me in the I kēia manawa; it’s pretty cool too.

Hawaiian Word:
Ka wā i hala: past
I kēia manawa: now

Beach Walk 549 – Do not let us burden the future

I’ve been fantasizing about all the things I want to change in 2008 – aka “the future.” But in reality, the future is just some abstract concept.

What I really want to do is bring the energy of those aspirations and intentions into the here and now. I love the potential that the “future” seems to hold. I want now though, not later. It’s not an easy task, but one I am willing to take on.

Hawaiian Word:
kēia mua aku: future
