Please join me for a few Sun Salutations or Surya Namaskar to greet this day. As I stretched into the first back bend with my eyes open to heaven, I saw a waning full moon directly overhead in the deep blue sky. It reminded me of our connection across the many miles of land, sea, and sky. And I smiled at that.

Yoga means “union” so this seemed a natural, reinforcing event. Frequent visitors to Beach Walks will remember Show #116 with my friend Shaina Noll. You can hear one my my favorite songs from Shaina, “Dream” in today’s show. This moving meditation was also inspired by Jen and Kent’s Know Your Dreaming. Mahalo nui loa to all of you beautiful souls.

Today’s special show music is Dream by Shaina Noll.
Darest thou now oh soul; walk with me into the unknown.
You can buy the song Dream on iTunes here.

Hawaiian word:
Pilina: _union_

My visit with my parents in Florida has had its share of stress; my main tonic has been walking to Starbucks many mornings with friends and enjoying all of the dogs.

On Saturday there is a Farmer’s Market, and even more dogs! Mahalo to Bob and Anna, David, Sam, Amber, and Barbara for their dog stories. And big wet kisses to all the dogs who give us so much love and joy: Teddy, Winston, Savannah, Bowser, Rica, Molly, Harry and all of you wonders whose names I don’t know!

Mahalo also to Glenn Jones for his perfect song, “Little Dog’s Day.”

Beach Walk #607 OTR – Lawyers Without Borders

I am still in Florida within my parents, and took an early morning walk to the beach for a sunrise.

There has been a lot going on, not all of it happy stuff, and I really wasn’t in the mood for much of anything. But these two people walked up and saw me fiddling with my camera, then asked if they could take a picture for me. Turns out they are the founders of “Lawyers Without Borders”:http://www.lwob.org, Christina Storm and James Byrne. They were here for a little re-charge, which as we know on Beach Walks, is a variation of that good airline advice, “Put on your oxygen mask first.”

Their positive energy and generosity really turned around my day, which was having a little trouble getting off the ground. Filmed with my pocket camera, the “Sanyo Xacti”:http://www.barefeetshop.com/elec-172282-B000QSNNAA-Sanyo_Xacti_VPC_E1_6MP_Waterproof_MPEG4_Camcorder_with_5x_Optical_Zoom_White.html – I think it did pretty well considering the salt spray on the lens and the considerable wind that morning!

Beach Walk 606 – Bill Explains How to Be Bionic

March 17, 2008 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , | 50 Comments

I went to the beach today for a swim here in Florida, where I am assisting my parents – my Dad had another cancer surgery earlier this week. (His medical history reads like a text book – he’s had it all.)

But no swimmers were allowed, due to several shark sightings. So I enlisted my dad Bill to share his secrets for living with cancer, and many more physical challenges, over the past 15 years. At 84, he has a very relevant message I think. I hope you’ll “leave a comment”:http://www.beachwalks.tv/2008/03/17/beach-walk-606-bill-explains-how-to-be-bionic/#respond and tell me what you think.

Hawaiian word:
Makua kāne: _father_

UPDATE: My father died on February 19, 2009. Two weeks beforehand, he wanted to have a party and invite all his friends. We held a very informal gathering, and showing this episode on “the big screen” on his living room wall – so all his friends could see it. It was one of the crowning achievements of this web series, IMO.
