Was here for the inauguration ceremony on 29 May. The building has yet to be finished, but is a…read morework in progress! Set in the lush land of Hauula, the temple is a bit inland from the main road. And most of the residential areas are in small trailer guys behind groves of papaya trees. This particular day we came for the inauguration and watched traditional Cambodian dances. It may seem insignificant to say this - but this day was a deep soul filling commemorative of a people who were almost wiped of their culture by their own governments hands. All the dancers were survived the wrath of Pol Pot's regime. It was a most emotional day as I witnessed several of my Cambodian friends drying the tears from their faces and their family members holding back their own tears. The effects the Khmer Rouge are ever present to this day. It has taken me months to properly reflect on what transpired and the immense growth of the Cambodian people despite the setbacks they have had. I am proud and honored to know survivors, and am blessed to have witnessed their performance this day. They danced a traditional song taught about the days of the week - and the colors of each day represented a temperament and personality trait to coincide with the months. Yup - quite complex! I was stunned and awed! During the feast - a couple of the monks gestured to me, and gifted to my girls their sweets - green tea ice cream and mango ice cream. I did not want to have the monks pass up such a treat but they insisted and showed me with great delight what a blessing they had in seeing my girls grin ear to ear and bless us with a short prayer. And all this done sans words to boot! I bought a t-shirt as part of the fundraising going on for this location. I know I will return to pay my respects because of the survivors I have met, and befriended. All the major framing has been completed, - has been the interior of the temple needing to be finished. Most places we were walking on plywood (am not complaining about that - just this day it was the reality). I look forward to how much the temple develops and thrives in the upcoming years.

I'm in love with this practice and I think it is the way of the future.

The "studio" is a wooden deck covered with a white canvas "tent", overlooking a garden with a gorgeous Boddhi tree with the beauty of the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop. It's a very new studio, classes are affordable, and it is NOT crowded (yet). It is well worth the drive from Kona or any surrounding area to take a class. The atmosphere itself made me fall in love and my yoga practice that much more enriching that day.

I was showing my negative mind...especially with Honolulu's taxi drivers. I saw them often breaking the law & having no regard for other drivers. They would cut me off in traffic & I'd want to go into a mini rage. If I were a pedestrian in the crosswalk, they would practically run me over so that they could get through the green light - which we both had. They did not observe the law that they are required to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk. One day, a few months into this meditation practice, I had an awakening. I suddenly realized that I don't see taxi drivers anymore. I just don't see them anymore. What does that tell you?
