Beach Walk 711 – Where are my keys?

November 3, 2008 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

It’s all so common – we get stuck someplace (like actress Dana Delaney did) and think we are trapped or dependent on someone else to open the way for us. When in fact, we hold the keys, and they are merely in our thoughts, not so much an external reality. Please welcome Tommy Sea as he leaps across 5000 miles to build a new home here in Hawaii – literally and figuratively. His known world is about to change.

Hawaiian Word:
Kī: latch or music
haʻiloaʻa: key to a problem

Beach Walk 41 – Up Close & Personal

April 2, 2006 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

Confined to my car today by the unrelenting rain, I got a little long winded talking about one of my favorite things – how the internet is bringing us together, helping us be more conscious and discover our unique, subjective realities.

About Today’s Show:

I felt rather vulnerable shooting this show today, as I was inside the car with camera mounted on the dash. (Take note those of you who suffer from claustrophobia!) But that’s the deal here, keep it real. I talked more about “no ka oi” and how it’s energy of “da best” is so different from the usual absolute, use of the word, “best.” In my eyes, you are most definitely no ka oi!

If you liked my Hawaiian seat covers, you can get some at Bare Feet Shop.

Beach Walk 40 – Blue Skies Are What Is

April 1, 2006 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

This is a day I was glad the weather forecasters were wrong.

About Today’s Show:

Guest Director: Stacey Olson (Mahalo Stacey – your maiden voyage is no ka oi!)

Despite the lousy weather and flooding of homes and businesses, aloha is in the air and I find people (including me) take life in stride more easily than on the mainland. So often we get caught up in what we think things should be, rather than what they are. It’s fine to have preferences, but when reality is coming at me from an altogether different direction, I find I am happier if I can go with it.

Of course, some days that is harder, for whatever reasons, and on those days I try to make time for a conscious meltdown. What’s that? Listen to Show #031 to find out!

As promised, here are some links to local news stories from yesterday’s torrential rains.

Hawaiian words
No ka oi: the best!

Hmmm. I searched the Hawaiian dictionary for “reality” and it said “no words found.” Now that is a whole new aspect of “aloha” for me!
