There is a local sticker that says "Relax - This ain't the mainland". Well I totally agree with it and yes it is the island pace, let's just relax .... But there should be another cosmic sticker that says "Relax - Mercury is retrograde" and this one I have much more of a hard time to deal with.
I don't know maybe it is just a bad idea to move on a retrograde Mercury!

For your information if you are not a planet aficionado here is what it means:
As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our "lower" mind--how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. (source http://cafeastrology.com)

I think we are experiencing Mercury's play a little bite at every levels: with our boxes, paper from the sale of the truck, the paycheck, the computer, payment confusion, internet. Nothing major, nothing bad but always something.

And then on a morning at the beach we go snorkeling and that's when we see a beautiful sea turtle next to us. She was swimming gracefully, peacefully. I tried to stay a little longer with her, swimming with her. A pure moment of magic where Mercury plays, there is no more mails, internet, money. It is just myself swimming with a turtle in the Hawaiian waters.
Relax, it is Hawaii:)

Back in Hawaii

I moved back to Hawaii, on the beautiful island of Maui. And to start here is a picture from the north shore, close to Baldwin beach, near Paia.

Trestles Beach Surf

Trestles is a famous place in the surf world and it's next to us. There was the 2012 Nike Lowers Pro surfing competition last weekend but we missed it. Still by 2pm there was still some talented surfers in the water.
Lots of them ...
