Wordless Wednesday: finding peace during construction

I am adding an addition to my home. Having workmen around each day is a very different experience. I am used to my quiet, peaceful home. On the top floor of this addition there will be a meditation room. There is sense of peace each day as I go out and see what has been created that day.

Hopefully I will be able to see the ocean and Mauna Kea from there. Right now here is my view. I also ordered an awesome angel in the moon weather vane for the top.

Memorial Day 2010 in Hawaii

Here in Hawaii there is a wonderful tradition each Memorial Day. They do a ceremony in Honolulu called the Lantern Floating. It is beautiful. They hand make lanterns to honor the memory of those who have ‘changed address’ either in conflicts or as part of the life cycle. Each year as I watch it I am, deeply moved. This year I will be honoring the spirit of my father and my second mother.
I find this ceremony extremely moving and very powerful. I share these videos in hopes that you can feel the power and love as well.
