I have been deeply shocked to see what is going on to our (US) media circle.
I was shocked to see how the mass media and even social network services are so much biased and controlling here in the US as well. I knew majority of big media have been biased and not balanced in reporting from long time ago. However, I did not know they did to this much extent to control the news and information that they report. It may be very hard to find the true journalists and true journalism nowadays in the US as well. Now might be the time when the real features and characteristics of individuals, groups, companies, and others. Our life and future are at stake. I am really hoping that American people, who have the big power to influence the direction of the US as well as the whole world with their right of vote, will have a right decision, that they would never regret in near future. And I believe that they will. I have met many Americans who have deep concerns to our future and clearly see that is really happening around us. The book below was published last August. There are many people in Japan who support the current US President, because he is the one who stands up against our common big threat. https://www.amazon.com/Spiritual-Interviews-Guardian-Spirits-Biden/dp/1943869928 I love this country. I really hope and pray that this country will be a leader to realize Liberty, Freedom, Democracy, and Faith in God on this planet to realize the true world peace, which has been my dream for long from the bottom of my heart. When I was leaving the beach this morning, I was attracted by the blue sky above the ocean.
The cloud shape got my attention. I stopped walking and started to enjoy staring at it for a while, and noticed, “Wow!” It was a dragon with a long body and beautiful big wings! At first I thought it was a big phoenix. I kept watching and noticed I had a clear face of the dragon. He was above the beautiful ocean all over! Wow! I have a strong connection with dragons, and I always feel good seeing them. I was happy and started to walk. Then, one big guy was in front of me carrying all kinds of beach gears for his family members. He kept walking and could not see me, so I stopped and let him go. Then, his wife, a beautiful African American Lady, stopped for me and greeted me, “Aloha!” I said “Aloha!” back quickly. Then, she told her little 2 daughters, “You have to say Aloha to everyone you meet here, OK?” My heart was embraced with very warm feelings. I started to see more travelers and maybe snow birds (who stay in Hawaii during winter time) from US mainland recently. It is very nice to see our ocean and beautiful places in Hawaii becoming filled with happy people again. I feel happy to see and meet people who love Hawaii, respect this culture, and enjoy the spirit of Hawaii. My vision is the Hawaii Islands will thrive in an original way. This is a very special place on the Earth. Hawaii will thrive as a sacred place and spiritual base on this planet in the Universe. By the way, I again met a person who saw UFO here in Hawaii. He saw that in Kamehameha hotel in Kona during Luau. He and another guest noticed 6 (or 7?) white lights in a line hovering way up high. He was in the military for long time, and he knew it was not an airplane considering various conditions. Now we are in an area of “Dawn of the Space Age”. So many messages have started to be coming to us. We saw owls flying again last evening!
I was a little stressed out yesterday, but I first time an owl flying clearly in front of me, and that brightened my mind! Seeing owls is said to be a good sign in Hawaii. I felt a hope. Also, this morning, I saw multiple cross-shaped clouds in the beautiful sky! I was watching the video that President Trump was doing a little dancing at the rally. I remembered the times when I luckily had first-hand experiences to see him from close distance and listened to his speech. Thanks to my work of an official interpret for JCU Chairman, I was sitting with Chairman Jay to translate for him in the ACU chairman box seat at CPAC event a couple of times. President Trump was just there in front of me. When he was walking to the stage and appeared in front of big audience ,who welcomed him with enthusiasm, big applaud and standing ovation, I was deeply moved and overwhelmed. I was feeling the oneness with many other American people in the hall. President Trump had such a sense of presence. He had an amazing aura. I was thinking, “he is a king.” I believe he might have been a king of some strong nations in his past life. He could be a big figure in the history. At one event of CPAC, he had just come back from a foreign country and made it the event. He was working non-stop at that time as well (still now). He should have been so exhausted. However, once he was welcomed by passionate big audience with cheers, applaud, and repeated standing ovation, he was getting more energized. It seemed like he was receiving lots of energy from people who love him, respect him, and support him. He talked lots of real stories he has seen and heard from American citizens. I was moved to tears. He made us laugh a lot with lots of jokes. He was very clear what he wants to get things done. And he has been trying very hard to get lots of things done, despite lots of obstacles and constant attacks. I am so fortunate and thrilled to be a Japanese American, witnessing this historical event, happening in this great nation, the United States of America! I have practiced tea ceremony long time ago in Japan.
I learnt from the teacher for Urasenke, one of the main schools of Japanese tea ceremony, a couple of hours every week. Students sat on tatami mats. The teacher was watching the performance of each student when she practiced. Each student performed preparing for making tea with elegant movements, including entering the room, carry tools, pour tea, fold and use hukusa (cloth), and serve tea to guests (the teacher and students in the lesson). There was a certain movement that we needed to learn and memorize. I was amazed how organized and refined those movements were. They were considered for us not to make any extra or meaningless movements. That was my understanding. One of the happy time was when we were served very tasty Japanese sweets and enjoy with the matcha green tea! I do not know how much those skills were still in me. However, I clearly remember that right after the lesson, maybe about half a day, I was really watching my movement and tried to move elegantly. Practicing Tea Ceremony might have helped me to observe my movement of my body from the 3rd person’s eye. Unconsciously, it might have been helping me to learn new things including driving as well. With stiffness on my shoulders again, I went to the beach.
Nobody was in the water when I arrived, so I asked the guard on the beach, “Is there any shark today?” He said, ”No”. So I jumped into the water. I saw a very crowded school of fish below me! So many small fish were sticking together and swimming in a group at the shallow water area! The wave was a little rough. After playing in the water for a while, I got out of the water, and saw one big shade swimming in the shallow area! Luckily, it was not a shark. As I imagined, it was a big turtle! He stuck out his head above the water once in a while. I thought turtles usually swim slowly. He was swimming along the coast line. I walked along it and tried to jump into the water and swim with him. However, he was so fast and I could not catch up with him. I gave up. I drove back home. I felt, “Well, I am getting more relaxed and enjoying driving!” I was happy, humming my favorite music melody, and opened the door. Then, “OOOOOUCH!!!” I felt a sharp and strong pain on my finger! I thought I hit a nail or something. I looked back and saw a big bee!! (I do not think it had a yellowish part of the body.) I felt lasting and deep pain! I have never had this kind of yacky and unpleasant experience! I was screaming and sucked on the stung part on my finger by my mouth, and quickly wondered it was a good idea or not. Later my boss told me unless you have experienced boy and girl scouts training and know how to suck it out, it could make it worse. If you do not know how, you could push the poison into deeper in your body. I was yelling hard to the bee which was still there outside. I quickly called my husband at work. He gave some tips what to do. My pain was already going away, so we did not worry. I emailed to my boss. He worried and called me. He explained about bees and wasps and tried to figure out which one stung me and whether I am ok. Thanks to his call, we continued talking about our coming event. I could share brainstorming ideas. We had a productive talk. I realized I need to learn more about nature here. Big Island is a very nature-oriented place. The island has amazing wild nature. We have lots of wild animals such as sharks, whales, bees, lizards, all kinds of bugs, frogs, chickens, pigs, goats, owls, parrots and all kinds of beautiful birds, and lots of cockroaches too. I need more knowledge about animals here so that I would not get freaked out when I come across them. |
