“Isn't it mysterious to begin a new journal like this? I can run my fingers through the fresh clean pages but I cannot guess what the writing on them will be.”
― Maud Hart Lovelace, Betsy in Spite of Herself

"Print is predictable and impersonal, conveying information in a mechanical transaction with the reader's eyes. Handwriting, by contrast, resists the eye, reveals its meaning slowly, and is as intimate as skin." - Ruth Ozeki, A Tale for the Time Being

"WHY write by HAND? what is it connected to? WHAT moves it? what is a hand? A BODY in MOTION IS MOVED BY .....There is a STATE OF MIND WHICH is NOT accessible by thinking IT SEEMS TO REQUIRE A PARTICIPATION WITH SOMETHING like a pen like a pencil ..." - Lynda Barry, WHAT IT IS

" I suppose you might define realism as fantasy pretending to be true; and fantasy as reality pretending to be a dream."
- Lloyd Alexander

"Fantasists, whether they use ancient archetypes of myth and legend or the younger ones of science and technology, may be talking as seriously as any sociologist -- and a good deal more directly -- about human life as it is lived, and as it might be lived. For after all, as great scientists have said and as all children know, it is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception, and compassion, and hope."
- Ursula LeGuinn

To be or do something wonderful

Woven throughout this medicine story will be the words and sensibilities of the Hawaiian culture; they are in the root of me and flavor all the art. As we unfurl the magic and myth within this medicine (story) the culture of an ancient Earth people will give us potential tools to navigate life today. The gift offered here is given in the spirit of interconnectedness.

HO'OKAMAHA'O
"To be or do something wonderful; to take a new and more splendid form"

HO'OKA'AU
" Witty, clever, entertaining, humorous; to pass the time pleasantly' entertaining time"

--Hawaiian Dictionary, Pukui and Ebert

With that spirit in mind and heart let's enjoy ourselves!!

Tidbits of astrology to fold into the story

Saturn in Scorpio (2012-2015 transit) "How can I become an expert at exploring a labyrinth of powerful information, some of it hidden within me? How can I remember that if I try to control every outcome I will miss a lot of magic?" - Intuitive Astrology, Elizabeth Rose Campbell

More about Saturn in Scorpio
-"The challenge will be releasing our fears and anxieties and expressing them without fear that we may be giving up our power in so doing. By denying our dependencies, we restrict ourselves. Saturn might require us to let go of one or more dependencies on others, a source of financial support, or an addiction. While this may initially feel extremely uncomfortable, ultimately we in fact gain a sense of personal empowerment."
