Our Bodies are Amazing! but “we” are not our bodies

He describes how our human bodies are “shared, rented, and occupied†by countless other tiny organisms, without whom we couldn’t “move a muscle,

The Bahai Faith May Be The Most Reasonable Religion

But still… The definition of a ‘religion demands that: One must believe that there truly is an invisible god in the sky that has nothing better to do than be concerned with every moment of everything, including every thought, speech, and actions of… everything. However, The Baha’I Faith at least puts this personal God projection

The Fallacy of Unconditional Love

Anyone inspired to take a Journey along a Spiritual Path, Will naturally want to express ‘Unconditional Love’. Years ago when learning Dzogchen it was recommended that one should always dedicate each meditation to the well-being of others. This sounded fine, as I don’t resonate with emotionally offering praise and adornments to a metaphorically created “Deityâ€.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
