Spring Has Sprung in the Jungle!

What a long, cloudy, rainy win­ter it has been. Today, Jah­nava and I took the vinyl win­dows off our yurt until fall. It’s 94 F inside with the ceil­ing fan going full and 78 out­side. The sun is shin­ning brightly, the birds are singing, the wind blew the vog away and life is about as good as it gets here in this earthly par­adise. The ohia trees of Mahananda Kunja are in bloom with their beau­ti­ful lehua flow­ers, and the world looks very festive.

I have the “Divine Nature: Art of Greg Spalenka” cal­en­dar above my desk. I turned it to May to be greeted by his “Foun­tain­head Revis­ited” por­tray­ing the God­dess lying with the moun­tains in the dis­tance and the river flow­ing from her breast. Michelle Barnes writes below it, “You are the Fire, You are the moun­tains, You are the sea, You are the stars, the clouds and the trees.” What lovely and appro­pri­ate symbolism.

May we all be blessed by God-dess in what­ever sea­son of life we find our­selves in. Aloha.
