Since I did not make it to the MLK rally, I attended last night’s inaugural ball at the Akeono Theater in Pahoa. A number of my friends were there along with good music, abundant food, and a cash bar. It was a great celebration in true Puna style. It would have been even more enjoyable […]
My plans to go to the MLK rally today were disrupted when around one a.m. I was awakened by loud yelling and cursing and a couple of shots. Then there was traffic going up and down my red cinder dead end road in the jungle. Around 5:30, I was awakened by a police officer who […]
I don’t follow the news very closely, so I didn’t know much about Barak Obama. Yesterday, my wife and I watched the DVD, “Barak Obama: Who Is This Guy?†I didn’t much like him when I first saw him in 2004. I didn’t like the way he dealt with Jeremiah Wright. I voted for him […]
I haven’t posted here in over a month, so I figure I should give an update. Things are going well and I hope all of you are having a good new year, although with the current crises we face I know it could be better for many. I’ve been absorbed in working on my book. […]

I actively worked to make this a better world for everyone by protesting, organizing, preaching, teaching, networking, voting, and other big or small ways. I worked within the mainstream and on the fringes. Now, after over forty years, I am very pessimistic […]

He said nothing would change and called those who support marijuana use “terrorist supporters.” Thirteen other U.S. communities have similar ordinances. This community has been subjected to a paramilitary marijuana […]
After the last two presidential elections, I just about gave up hope of ever seeing another free and fair election in this country. Not only do we have a new president and hope for the future, but the people of Hawai’i, The Big Island, passed an initiative making cannabis law enforcement’s lowest priority. Regarding Obama, […]
Aloha. Last night I posted updates to the Universalilst Radha-Krishnaism website such as a new template, new home page, new background page, and a newly revised introduction to Universalist Radha-Krishnaism based on process theology. I continue to work on my book, Universalist Radha-Krishnaism: A Spirituality of Liberty, Truth, and Love. I’ve also been landscaping my […]
I am studying Chaitanya Charitamrita with translation and commentary by Edward C. Dimock, Jr. I recently completed the Chaitanya Bhagavat. I hope to deepen my understanding of Chaitanya and his teachings from these two most authoritative sources. I am working on a book proposal for Universalist Radha Krishnaism: A Spirituality of Liberty, Truth and Love, […]
