With stiff shoulders on my body, I drove to the beach.
When I approached the water, some wave came and hit the shore. I prayed to God and gods of the ocean with respects and went into the water as I always do. The water has become calmer. Happily, I started to play in the water and swim. There was a big school of small fish swimming under me! Their color was whitish and similar to the ocean bottom and surroundings. However, their cute small black eyes were everywhere around me, so I could see them! The beach guard taught me the name. I think it was called “Nehi”, but I have to check this again. On weekend, there were so many “cross clouds” in the sky! When something important things happen, the cloud, which has a cross shape, has appeared above me in the past. I felt encouragement and hope. I have been meeting with various interesting and wonderful people these days. I have been always praying that the Hawaii Islands, the sacred lands, would thrive in its original way. I pray Hawaii will shine as a sacred place on the Earth, where people from all over the world would come here, get healed spiritually, mentally, and physically. We pray that peple would get energized, become happy, and start to shine the world by themselves. Hawaii is a hope of our future, where a True world peace and happiness of all lives will come true. When I was a member and also a head of my college choir, which was one of the most active clubs, had about 6 concerts a year on my sophomore year, including joint concerts with other Universities.
We wrapped our super busy and exciting year by our annual regular concert. We also had a musical piece, “Carousel”. I liked all music pieces in the musical. Since, we all were English major, we sang all of them in English by dancing. My Mom made my dress for this musical. It was a sweet and fun memory…… This last music piece is still my favorite! “You’ll Never Walk Alone” https://youtu.be/6gpoJNv5dlQ Whenever I listen to this music, very warm feelings are coming up from the bottom of my heart. After graduating the college, I have gone through all kinds of experiences, including exciting experiences, success, dangers, hardships, happiness, anxieties, loneliness, and hopes. After a long journey, I have finally found my path that I am certain to live with all my life. Since then, I have been so certain that I am not alone, and we all never be alone. I have my faith. I believe in God. I pray to my Guardian and Guiding Spirits always every day. I have been experiencing lots of wonders since then. Our Guardian and Guiding Spirits are always with me and always with us. When we refine and purify our minds, we can hear their words and receive inspiration from them. Without their guidance and protection, I have never come to this point. There is no way I can do my work that I do; an interpreter for American politics, International relations, finance, IT tech, and all others. There more I feel grateful and express my gratitude to them, the clearer and stronger the pipes with them become, I feel. We are never and will never be alone. When I was still very nervous on driving, my husband told me, “it is not driving. It is called ‘freaking-out’.”
Since then, I was telling myself, “practice makes perfect”. “Just keep driving!” I have kept driving. I am still nervous, but little by little, I have started to enjoy it. When I enjoy, I can relax more and get more attentive to everything happening around us. When we are tensed, our visibility might become narrower. That is dangerous. I am praying to God every day that driving will be my “refreshment” and “joy”. If driving becomes joy and a refreshing thing, I can go back to work in a refreshed mode after driving. That was my originally purpose of driving anyway! Good music has been helping me to relax and focus on driving without worrying or getting nervous. Hawaiians are one of my favorite music to listen in the car. When I listen to some Hawaiian songs, I feel strong, composed, and get focused. Last weekend, my husband showed me beautiful Hawaiian songs in the car. Our late Hawaiian Hanai Dad was always playing Hawaiian music during driving. My husband, who spent so much time with him, was really exposed deeply to many of beautiful pieces. My husband showed one music to me, and I got thrilled. What a beautiful music!! I had already knew this song, and I remembered I have sung this song at our choir! Brothers Cazimero “Waika” https://youtu.be/I_J-ADVILNo The music embraced us with heavenly feeling in the scenery of majestic big mountains and gorgeous colored ocean water under the blue sky. And what beautiful voices!! My husband kept showing other beautiful Hawaiians. They all were nice, but I asked him I want something more powerful one, which come to my heart. He showed this music saying it is his most favorite one. Gabby Pahinui https://youtu.be/6UFdA20Fv0k Wow!! Listening to this music, I felt the land and spirits of nature around us starting to talk to us. Just before going asleep, I was remembering about the videos of peaceful political rallies all over the nation.
Then, I started to feel deep love to my fellow American people. Then, I was falling asleep. The night, I had a very interesting dream. It was like a continuous drama. I was in there. I do not remember the whole details, but I remember that I was shown some core theory which was very important to the world. It was a very critical secret of enlightenment or something, which could save the world. It was clear that it would save the people who are crying and fighting for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong. Those young people have been fighting with the message, “Liberty or Death”. Then, I was singing a beautiful song with my alto voice on the stage with other solo singers. That was a very inspiring and insightful dream. It may be the time for me to start to watch my dream more carefully and find the messages in them. It will lead me to get important inspiration and messages. I found myself getting very stressed with stiff shoulders when I got up.
I drove to the ocean. Wow, what a beautiful feeling on the road! It was a very heavenly morning. I arrived in the beach. A beautiful bird was flying around the shower. The light and clear blue sky was drawn with white sleek clouds in front of me. Ocean was so calm and the blue color was gorgeous. I sighed in a sense of awe. I was walking down the slope. I first time saw a man doing a stand paddle on the surface of the water here in Hapuna Beach, which is known for choppy and wavy water. This morning was so special. The ocean allowed me to keep doing small lap along the coast. I was so healed and refreshed! When we feel heavy on your shoulders and necks with stiffness, it is hard for us to be positive and have a productive day. The ocean energy really refreshed me. I had a chat with guards there. One of the guard was the one who was doing the stand up paddling board. He said today was the first time for him to try it. He was practicing before winter comes. They try to include the paddling as one of the ways to rescue people for some cases to save their lives. Wow…… I was so curious. This beach have bumpy and sometimes violent waves especially in winter time. The rescuers are ready to save people’s lives in this wilderness. |
