Diamond Head Near And Far
A L O H A !
“There's something wrong
in not appreciating one's
own special abilities, my girl. -
" - Find your own limitations,
yes, but don't limit yourself
with false modesty.”
Anne McCaffrey
Leahi
"The iconic silhouette of
Diamond Head State Monument
sits along the Honolulu skyline
just beyond Waikiki.
Leahi (brow of the tuna) in Hawaiian,
the crater was named Diamond Head
by 19th century British sailors
who thought they discovered
diamonds on the crater's slopes."
"All that we see or seem -
-is but a dream
within a dream.”
Edgar Allan Poe

Deity Presents Itself
A L O H A !
Guardians
'Still' from Big Jim McLain filmed at the Mission
Across the Nu`uanu Canal
in Honolulu's Chinatown,
you will discover
IZUMO TAISHAKYO
Mission Of Hawaii since 1906.
[Shinto]
Entering the sacred and magical precincts
"Sacred places are typically marked
with a shimenawa (special plaited rope).
Shimenawa mark the boundary
between the sacred and the profane.
They keep impurities out and
purify the space within."
Shishi 獅子 or Koma-inu
(lion-dogs)
"If we keep un-perverted
the human heart
—which is like unto heaven
and received from the earth—
that is God."
Shake the rope -ring the bell
That is a big wide Shimenawa
rope at the top!
John Wayne filmed a scene for
'Big Jim McClain' here in 1952.
"Even the wishes of an
ant reach to heaven."
Let There Be Light
"The best and surest way
to be one with the
divine is sincerity."
Shinto paper lightening bolts
'Shide'
bring down the natural
energies from Heaven.
Mundane tools to
maintain the sacred.
Note the SAKE case
and brooms.
Sake is used in ceremonies.
Sake is used in ceremonies.
Back when this area was
Honolulu's Japantown,
the TOYO Theater echoed
the architecture of the Shrine
just up the block
"Even in one single leaf on a tree,
or in one blade of grass,
the awesome Deity presents itself."

One Million Realities
A L O H A !
"Learning how to
operate a soul
figures to take time."
Timothy Leary
"Kindness is the best
quality of the soul."
Chinese Proverb
"A solitary fantasy
can totally transform
one million realities."
Maya Angelou
"Happiness cannot be
traveled to, owned, earned,
worn or consumed.
Happiness is the spiritual
experience of living every
minute with love,
grace and gratitude."
Denis Waitley
