Path

Alteration of momentum, accelerate, always another way, alternatives, ancient wisdom innate.

Tone

Resonating with that which surrounds us —thoughts attracting dreams becoming reality. Color sets the mood, a pause to appreciate existence, if only to oneself. Are you raising your vibration? What means do you recommend?

Wounds

After treating a few small cuts on my legs with both colloidal silver and organic virgin coconut oil they were a fraction of their original size the next day. Without making any claims, I must say I’ve found something significant in the combination of these two. Do your own research of course, but in the meantime it doesn’t hurt to try something new. Or you may have known about this for sometime now? If so do tell!

Thoughts

Consistency, ritual, repetition, repeat. What are your daily exercises? Do you have extra time? Perhaps we could get all the people with extra time to send a little bit to those that have no time? Just a thought...

Solstice

Five years ago today I married my best friend in a meadow. I am one of those people that never thought it could happen to them. Doomed to be eternally single? You never know where love is lurking, waiting to pounce. Sometimes you just have to open your heart to the unknown.

Salt

Himalayan Rock Salt, warmed internally by a little bulb, emits a unique glow. Positive ions anyone?

Aerial

A snapshot of my window view leaving the gorgeous Yucatan. Capturing a moment in time through my iPhone lens. Who would have thought almost anyone could take an aerial photograph? Technology and worldwide travel have provided us an opportunity to take such images through various platforms including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, balloons, blimps, rockets, kites, and parachutes. Cool!

Memories

What makes a certain image pop into your thoughts? Do you have recurring memories at odd times yet other memories are lost for good? What prompts a memory if not a smell, sound or feeling?

Dahlia

Gathered in the wild and cultivated, it was used as a food source by indigenous peoples. The Aztecs used them to treat epilepsy and employed the long hollow stem of the (Dahlia imperalis) for water pipes. The indigenous peoples variously identified the plants as "Chichipatl" (Toltecs) and "Acocotle" or "Cocoxochitl" (Aztecs). Commonly called "water cane", "water pipe", "water pipe flower", and "cane flower". Who needs a new water pipe?

Solarize

I’ve been having fun lately with my photo application on my iPhone 4s called Dynamic Light. The coolest feature I think is the solarize filter that takes any simple black and white and trips it out. I’ve been fantasizing about fashion lately so here is a sparkly little number by Susana Monaco.

Younger

Realizing nature is harsh, actually more like violent, I feel blessed to be alive. Anyone that has had a near death experience knows an appreciation for the simple things goes a long way. This image was taken after my birthday hike up Waipa Valley in Kauai 2005, it’s hard to believe that was seven years ago! I’m thankful to have made it through another seven year cycle, how about you?

Strawberries

Xylitol is an organic compound found in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables, and can be extracted from various berries, oats, and mushrooms, as well as fibrous material such as corn husks and sugar cane bagasse, and birch. “Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye” is an incredible book, highly recommend adding xylitol to your daily routine.

Sky Scraper

Skew lines are two lines that do not intersect and are not parallel. Equivalently, they are lines that are not coplanar. Lines that are coplanar either intersect or are parallel, so skew lines exist only in three or more dimensions.

The Dreaming

A common term within the animist creation narrative of indigenous Australians for a personal, or group, creation and for what may be understood as the “timeless time” of formative creation and perpetual creating. In addition, the term applies to places and localities on indigenous Australian traditional land where the uncreated creation spirits and totemic ancestors, or genii loci, reside.

Bloom HD

Recently we downloaded a cool application to our iPad called Bloom HD for our one-year-old son to play. Beginning with a blank color --- every time you touch the screen it creates a sound and a visual. I took a couple photos with my iPhone to demonstrate the coolness factor!

Unconditional Love

Looking into the universal abyss the overwhelming message is love.

Light It Up

Upon requesting their best tequila our waiter suggested we start with the tasty tourista appetizer of tortillas and burnt queso. Many cocktails later we were almost tempted to light up a cigar from this statue’s generous flame. Mexico at it’s finest...tourista finest that is.

Alpaca or Llama

Llamas appear to have originated from the central plains of North America about 40 million years ago. They migrated to South America about 3 million years ago. Alpacas are considerably smaller than llamas, and unlike llamas, they were not bred to be beasts of burden but were bred specifically for their fiber. Alpaca fleece is a lustrous and silky natural fiber. While similar to sheep’s wool, it is warmer, not prickly, and bears no lanolin, which makes it hypoallergenic.
