Wow! Sometimes life just hands you magic!...We came upon a gate with beautiful stone lions on either side, and a lady drove up on a little golf cart-like thing and brought us to her husband's immense bonsai garden which was overrun with weeds and vines but there were hundreds of amazing bonsai and beautiful pots all garbled up with plastic figurines and trash and old tree stumps, ... In the background were these pristine massive mountains and the cloud bank above them. It was like we were pulled into the Spirited Away movie. So I have all these strange, intriguing pictures of the bonsai garden to sketch now!
That's a very alchemical interpretation. I like it!!you don't expect solids to evaporate, it is kind of a hidden escape, sort of like your definition only you are talking about feelings.
I have a feeling that the mountains of Hawaii are full of magic like that. It's nice when my intuition kicks in and says, "let's turn here and here and here," and I wind up somewhere amazing!Wow! Sometimes life just hands you magic!
That´s water in your muscles. Will go away once the stress on your muscles decreases - either because you stop digging or because your muscles adapt to digging.I gained weight from all the digging - that usually happens at first.

I love this. Hawaii now seems like a magical place to me after reading what you say about it. You really do have a gift for the description of a place. I feel like I want to go there now.Some of the people there are so earthy and completely non-western feeling in their energy. It was really nice seeing so many very strong, beautiful women who were so themselves.
You are so lucky!!! I would so love to live where people still consider the land and ocean sacred. I do live in a surfer town with lots of organic farms, but not with the beautiful old traditions like in Hawaii. I looked up mana and came across the god of peace, Lono, and that is what I felt in Hawaii - the lushness and rain and waterfalls and life coursing through everything. So deeply peaceful and energizing at the same time. Around where do you live? Are you out in the countryside?Having lived here for just over 3 years now, I HAVE to agree! The mountains and jungle and ocean are each on their own almost mystical at times, and the combination often magical. There are many holy and spiritual places on each island and you can feel the power of the land and the history of the people, and the best way to describe it is with the concept of mana.
Oops, sorry myleanbaby, just realized I could just look you up. We were in Waikiki for an evening (eating fantastic food in the Japanese food court of the Ala Moana shopping Center and watching fireworks at the Hilton). It was very wonderful and such lovely beaches!
I looked all these up, and they all seem so incredible. We are water people and love hiking stream and river hikes and jumping in along the way, and Waimea Canyon was one of our favorite places in the world to visit! Sounds like you are having an amazing time, and please don't get pulled in to the entrance to the underworld!! Would love to see pictures of your travels!My favorite place on Kauai (so far) was Lonomea (place of peace or place of Lono), a campsite with waterfalls and swimming pools about 8 miles out into Waimea canyon. On Maui it is a close call between staying on the summit of Haleakala for stargazing followed by sunrise and the south coast of the island where hardly any tourists travel. On the Big Island (so far) it was Waimanu, a valley with many waterfalls and a stream that flows out into what is believed to be the entrance to the underworld due to black ocean water and a strong pull out to sea.
Ohhhh.... this sounds absolutely fascinating! I love it!... Waimanu, a valley with many waterfalls and a stream that flows out into what is believed to be the entrance to the underworld due to black ocean water and a strong pull out to sea.
Thanks Rob! I really have to stop trying to explain myself to people when I am upset. I am just too emotional and the conversation usually goes very wrong. I don't think I am the easiest person to live with as a partner because of my social anxiety, and so I need to be extra kind and patient with J. He doesn't understand the anxiety because he is good at blocking people out if they are being weird. I actually am learning to block my mom out from watching him.I can see how your J might have misinterpreted what you meant. Hopefully you can explain yourself. Best of luck with that.
Oh, Marsia! That is so much to be coping with! ("for no reason"?! Of course, there's reason to be feeling stressed - though what alligatorob says is wise and true - the worst-case scenarios are in the nature of things probably not going to happen.)Feeling a little down on myself today... I am a stress basket for no reason.
