I lived on the Big Island of Hawaii from 2003 – 2005 and worked as a caretaker at an ocean front estate. This place just so happened to be one of Queen Liliuokalani’s favorite places to vacation. I took up pastel drawing and here the drawing that I did of the old homestead that was built in 1909.

Hawaii Vog
June 19th, 2010 · Hawaii Vog
While I had a wonderful time swimming with the dolphins on the Big Island I also was aware that the island is sending a warning ( increased VOG)to it’s human inhabitants to act in ways that support a healthy environment. Two years ago another vent opened up in Volcano National Park..
spewing more sulpher dioxide and other toxic chemicals that are referred to as VOG. It causes resperitory illness in humans, harms vegetation, and I think has contributed to the drought.
My suggestion is for people on the island to stop growing GMO crops, stop using herbicides and pesticides, stop drilling geothermal wells, and stop all military activity. Then maybe Pele will respond by reducing the VOG emissions.

British Petroleum Oil Spill
June 19th, 2010 · Animal Suffering, Environmental Degradation
Many people understand that everything in life is interconnected. How could it be otherwise? We are alive. The animals, organisms, trees and flowering plants are all alive in a symbiotic relationship with all living things on our one alive earth. We depend on each other for our life. We need all earth’s living systems to be healthy so we can enjoy good health.
The British Petroleum oil well leak is causing great harm to our ocean environment and before this tradgedy is over all species, including humans, will be negatively affected by the toxic pollutants. Look at what has already happened. The people who live along the gulf coast no longer have a livelihood. And soon the oil is going to spread into the gulf stream… carrying it to Europe and eventually around the world.
I believe that the earth is alive and that she spit out the drilling rig well casing as a warning for humans to stop our harmful actions towards the environment. For more about this read Chapter Four in my book, Messages From The Dolphins.

Swimming With Wild Spinner Dolphins
June 13th, 2010 · Hawaii, Wild Dolphin Swim
Aloha Friends,
I am back in Colorado after having spent 9 days in Hawaii. I had two trip participants and we had two wonderful days swimming with the wild Hawaiian spinner dolphins. There were over 111 in the bay and we were with them for a couple hours each time, interacting with them and observing them interact with each other. We all felt a deep sense of peace, joy, and love.
