The Myths, Magic, and Miracles in the Bible Should Be Viewed as ‘Metaphors’

Instead of taking the myths, magic, and miracles in Bible as the literal truth, they would be best viewed as ‘metaphors’ … Stories that help explain the deeper ineffable meanings of Divinity. In that way, one does not have to deal with distractions from a direct Path to divinity. It is not a sin do

By Any Name One Calls Divinity… It is still the Same and Only ‘Divinity’

When “God’s” children argue, divide their country and go to wars to kill and hurt each other in the name of their projection of what they imagine “God” is… Is to miss the point of Divinity all together.  At some point in the evolution of humanity, In order to move from an existence of deficiencies…

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.
