My next “assignment” started in a whirlwind of plan changes
and the unknown. Undoubtedly, being peaceful with uncertainty has been a
recurring theme for many years with me. It was even a challenge lining things
up as I had virtually no cell service and limited internet in
“Fern Gully”.
The lady I was corresponding with obviously used texting as her primary mode of
communication. It took a bit of time and effort before I could shift the
correspondence to e-mail. Before that I’d walked or otherwise gotten myself
to town just to make a phone call but wasn’t able to connect. I figured, if
this was meant to be, it would all work out. I was to start Sept 1. The whole
process was a practice in trust, living in the moment, taking inspired action
and going with the flow. My current hostess could only give me a ride to Kona two days prior. The new hosts could not take me earlier as their previous assistant
was leaving Aug 31. I sent messages to local friends asking if they could host
me for two nights. Right away I got a yes and was thrilled with the flow
feeling so effortless. Then, only a couple nights before departure, my interim
host informs me she has a schedule conflict and now cannot accommodate me. This
was cutting it down to the wire as I could not communicate via cell, didn’t
have much internet and others don’t always check their messages immediately.
Consequently, I was writing extensive messages in case this happened or that
happened and copying people through the stages and such. I hadn’t heard
anything affirmative ‘til the morning of departure which still were only
possibilities requiring more details. I wasn’t even sure, at that point, if my
current hostess could still drive me. It worked out she would take me but, since
I didn’t know yet where I was going, she’d bring me to her university campus where
I could spend a few hours ironing out details. Plans changed so many times due
to responses and lack of responses. Now I was relying almost completely on
texting – the opposite of my situation before – tediously composing detailed
messages on my little antique flip phone. I finally got confirmation from my friend
I’d hoped to visit most. The catch, it was simply a yes and I didn’t know where
she lived. All the craziest things that could make life more interesting
happened including us not being able to find the address on my hostess’ smart
phone. Without that information, I couldn’t be dropped off after her classes so
was taken along for her midwife visitations in the area the next few
hours. Finally, many angels and resources later, the directions were
acquired and my midwife mama graciously dropped me off.
I was soooo grateful
after all the unknowns (and this is the extremely abridged account) to be
welcomed into a beautiful home with an even more beautiful family overlooking
Kealakekekua Bay. The amazing dolphin mural on the wall with a goddess floating
on the water assured me I was definitely in the perfect place. This was my wonderful
SeaStar, Kim, who took me for a
magical dolphin swim in that same bay last time I was in Hawaii
– November 2015. Her three young children were the sweetest ever and quite
refreshing to be around. They were so kind and encouraging to each other and
brilliant as well. The couple days I was gifted there were a restorative
retreat preparing me for whatever was next. Little did I know how much I would
need it.
My new hostess picked me up accompanied by two of her three
children. They all seemed so delightful and I hoped we would gel just as perfectly. I was so excited about the house I stayed at facing directly out to the ocean! From there I could see the sun setting in the sea!
All around were palm trees, plumeria, jasmine, hibiscus, fern, ti plants and
more of the foliage I love. In the yard was a mango tree laden with huge sweet fruit. I
could eat mango to my heart’s content. It was a 6 minute walk to a quiet
shoreline cove and 10 minutes to Magic Sands Beach. Later I found out, it is
also called Disappearing Sands Beach due to the fact the sea claims the sand
for weeks at a time before redepositing it to form the beach again. Fortunately,
I was there during “beach time”.
The first few days seemed fairly promising but, as time went on, they turned a bit baffling. Yet again a phenomenon, which has happened
a number of times in my life, presented. Piece by piece, what I thought
was,
mysteriously proved to be something completely different – not a little,
completely. There are a number of truths I remind myself of when experiencing
a perplexing situation. “I don’t know the real meaning of what I see” was
definitely reinforced on a daily basis. On one particularly interesting day
almost a month in, everything changed on a dime. Within 24 hours I was on my way to
my next adventure. The purpose of my mission there may remain a mystery forever.
Bewildering to my little human self, my Higher Self reassured with knowing many
truths. Without a shadow of a doubt, I know I was exactly in the right place at
the right time. No matter outward appearances, I definitely brought a positive
energy to the situation with my presents/presence. Through thick and thin, I
was able to peacefully remain the calm eye of the storm. I bask in gratitude for
all the gifts I received from that experience both known and hidden.
Speaking of the gifts......I was able to experience a few of my
favorite things (hear that musically)…. Finally, I was constantly in a comfortable temperature –
something specific to very few areas I’ve been in my life. While the beach was pretty tiny
and often covered with masses of humanity, I did get to enjoy it very early in
the morning and sink my toes into its magic sands. Lulled by the hypnotic crash
of the waves on the shore, my eyes drank in that intense aquamarine hue that
makes me go Mmmmmm! Although I didn’t get a physical dolphin encounter, I felt
their energy and was visited
by my other marine friends – honus. On a number of
occasions, one critical from a physical perspective, the sea turtles gently
reminded me with their relaxed behavior to go with the flow. The sun graced me
with brilliant light shows on his way to wake up folks in another part of
the world. The intoxicating fragrance of frangipani, aka plumeria, wafted to me wherever I went as well as various colored blossoms often finding their
way into my hair. Experienced days full moon enchantment. While I never saw any volleyball action at the net on the
beach near me, I was able to catch some at another court a couple times a week.
I met a new friend, Alice, who recently heard the call to move to Hawaii and
had fun times with her. Did I mention I had all the sweet, delicious mangos I
could possibly eat? I even managed a few quiet candlelit bubble baths. Of deep
meaningful inner privilege was the opportunity to communicate with another
precious unborn angel in close proximity. So many magical moments!
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I reiterate my
appreciation for so many of my favorite things. It is interesting to notice,
wherever I have been so far, I am able to manage a fraction of my favs along
with a mix of not so desirable things. It may be my imagination, although that
is a powerful part of this process, but I feel my percentage of favs is
increasing. The more I focus on the bright things, the more the Universe fills
my order. Thus, I continue playing in the Light with my intent to increase it
both for myself and all around me.
