Home now on Maui, the storm that passed through while I was here (go to the concerned voices link on this blog for some graphic photos of the storm) it did leave this island home of mine looking very lush. Here are some photos of what that looked like from the sky coming in from the CA. the first being of Mt. Haleakala and the next of West Maui Mtns.(usually the West Maui's at this perspective is brown)
It was a twelve day trip that took me to Phila, Louisville Ky. and then to Berkely Ca. What amazes me in these trips to the mainland is how it always feels like I've been gone for such a long time.
While there I was able to work on writing of a grant for Ma'a for the Banyan Tree Park Educational Center we hope to create, along with the farmers market.
Inspired by the number of folks that come by the market wanting to get info on basically what works in being well in the foods they eat,how to prepare them along with learning how to grow their own food. We feel that this place here in the center of town could very well offer that information and support, with on going educational programs that leads up to the end of the year with our conference slated for the second weekend of October 2008.
This final picture is of island family friends that came to visit us at the market, they are based out of the island of Kauai. A beautiful family that shown here is four generations that we feel fortunate to know as friends and feel as ohana. The spirit of Aloha lives strong in this ohana as is evident in this photo and in how they have shown up in our lives.
Be Well All!!!!
