Sunday's a great day for some INTENSE hiking on Wiliwilinui















Just look at me. Thats a happy face.
THATS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE!!! See the bright light of truth right behind me. Its Luminous.

This hike lead to top of a mountain high as the himalayas. It was so rainy and foggy and windy that we all thought we were f****** at times. Nonetheless, we forged on to the summit. The ridges were we walking on were only a few feet wide at times and we were in slippery mud. Deceptively, the white out fog made us totally oblivious to the bone crunching fall we could have taken. GOOD, otherwise we probably wouldn't have gone. I was trying to take a picture of a huge valley with my digi cam, but I was just getting white out






Now think about it, you are on a mountain looking over a ledge onto a huge valley, supposedly. BUT there's no direct proof. Its blocked!!! There's supposed to be this grand view. What view? I don't see it. Is it really grand? Is it all what people said? Can I trust them? I was asking myself these questions. I was definitely not getting the feeling of inspiration that I wanted. I was doubtful of the whole thing. We could have been just a few feet off the ground for all I knew. Well, now I have something to say about my bad attitude :-).


Sometimes I HAVE TO JUST BELIEVE. Give trust when its just so hard. I am so afraid to put ourselves on the line. I have been duped so many times; I am jaded. Now, I say PISH-POSH! I'll use my gut. I'll not let slight setbacks ruin my times. I'll look at the big picture.


There is a view! It is inspiring! I'll go back to see it before I leave hawaii. I'll touch more on this subject at other times as I learn more about it. I didn't get a chance to think during the hike cause I had so many people with me to talk to.






Everyone in the group just had something very cool about them. They were all so open and so relaxed. They are all going to live long and happy lives. I feel privileged to have met them. And so we finished the trail with great passion and drive and lived to tell the story to our grandchildren, but we got really muddy.


Ok, I am going to go watch Serendipity.
