First days in Hawaii

First days in Hawaii. Still not quite here. Sleeping, looking, listening. After weeks of doing "Am I attached to this, can I let that go?" Living in the world of STUFF so much more than living in a world that is integrated with both stuff and truth. Making the shift slowly.

James Baldwin

‎"Any REAL change implies the break up of the world as one has always known it, the loss of all that gave one identity, the end of safety. And at such a moment, unable to see and not daring to imagine what the future will now bring forth, one clings to what one knew, or thought one knew to what one possessed or dreamed that one possessed. Yet it is only when man is able, without bitterness or self pity, to surrender a dream she has long cherished, or a privilege she has long possessed, that he is set free-that he has set himself free--for higher dream, for greater priveleges. --James Baldwin
