This kind and thoughtful Cardinal offered me some of his Hala fruit. I politely declined saying, "I am very humbled and honored, but no thank you buddy...it is all yours."

Perception...

Image
I was reflecting tonight about last week. I was sitting in my car one morning in the parking lot of a grocery store. I watched a Beautiful white blossom fall out of a tree and land smack dab in the middle of the windshield of the car parked right in front of, and facing me. Despite the wind blowing, the flower, about three inches across, stayed right where it landed, face down upon the glass.  I watched for what was probably ten to fifteen seconds in disbelief that it hadn't blown away or moved in the wind, then to my surprise, it lifted up and off of the windshield, turned around, and the plopped right back down, now facing me with the Beautiful blossom petals. Again, not moving in the wind anymore, still in the center of the windshield, and slightly rocking back and forth a little now that the conical back of the blossom was against the glass. I immediately knew this was not natural as it went against the law of physics and was some kind of supernatural event that I w

Obituaries...

Image
Tonight, amidst all of the things that I wanted and needed to do, I found myself reflecting upon all of the obituaries in my Life. Not the death notices of others, but my own. Many of them as I look back on my Life. I survived my birth. I wasn't aborted or stillborn. Mr. and Mrs. Markell mourn the death of their infant son who they lovingly named Ka'iana, and whom they affectionately call Kai. I survived as a toddler standing up in the back of a VW Beetle and later a VW Bus. My Beautiful little cousin wasn't strapped in any car seat, as was common back then, and was catapulted through the front windshield of her family car. She died. Three-year old Kai Markell was killed today in a tragic car accident when he was ejected from the vehicle he was riding in. When I was five, my father packed me on the back of his 10-speed bicycle and my right leg accidentally went into the back spokes and it snapped my ankle. Several weeks into my hospital stay, my bone wasn't

I was investigating a report of damage to a heiau luakini about ten years ago. As I walked the perimeter through the bushes, I stumbled upon this p ō haku. The heiau, or temple, had a history of human sacrifice as shared with me by descendants to the area who still protected the heiau. Heiau luakini, were also known as "Po'o Kanaka" class heiau. Human head heiau. I hope he is still there and I long to see him again...

This is my great-great-grandfather, Isaac Williams, who was a physician and served in the 144th Regiment out of New York State in the Civil War. He is with his second wife, Carrie. He  was discharged from service while in Hilton Head, South Carolina, in 1865, where 133 men were killed, dying from wounds or disease. Great-Great Grandfather survived. I can imagine the horror he witnessed as a physician in the war.  I have humbly asked him to guide his great-great-great-grandson, my son, Elliott, on his own journey to be a medical doctor to save Precious Life...
