Nick Polizzi is the Director at The Sacred Science team. Aunty forgets how she found them, but it began with watching a documentary that they did in the jungles of Peru, taking 8 very ill people to a healing camp. No running water, no electricity, bugs and critters, strange rituals, and primitive smashed root and bark meals prepared by people that did not speak their language, at all. One of the rituals was the smoking of ayahuasca, that Aunty’s numba one, ichiban shiatsu masseuse Dick, of Hikari Shiatsu used to talk about.
Aunty was blown away after watching the hour long documentary. It was honest, human, and what modern medicine would call miraculous, but in Peru, in the depths of the jungle, was commonplace.
Aunty now has a copy of The Sacred Science (you like borrow?) and also subscribed to Nick’s emails. He is kinda intense, but in a good way. Most of the time, Aunty skims through and then files away, but today’s email was special, and worth a shout-out.
He shared advice that a shaman friend gave him, “Don’t let the illusions of your past or future rob you of the infiniteness of your present.” He also shared a Sanskrit poem by Kalidasa, an Indian poet and playwright from 16 centuries ago:
Look to this day,
for it is life, the very breath of life.
In its brief course lie
all the realities of your existence;
the bliss of growth,
the glory of action,
the splendor of beauty.
For yesterday is only a dream,
and tomorrow is but a vision.
But today, well lived,
makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow
a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day.
Isn’t that pretty awesome? What will you do with your today?
For years, we parked in our driveway with power, telephone, and cable lines overhead across the entire length of the driveway from utility post to a garage that was not usable as a garage. Being parked in the sun was not great, but it was okay, since we had eclipsesunshades.net retractable windshield covers that helped to keep cars cooler during the day.
Awhile back, 
When Aunty was young, which seems eons ago, hardly anyone had cancer. Now, it seems commonplace, heart breakingly commonplace, and too often – harsh and fatal. We live in a different time, with different environmental factors as well as different lifestyles, and we need to take charge of our choices before it is too late.
Remember the old Guri Guri place on the corner of King and Coolidge, then it was HK Drive Inn, then a couple of other places that didn’t make it? It is located just past First Hawaiian Bank and across the Moiliili softball park.
It’s that time of year, and Aunty will have a booth again at the 26th annual Hawaii All-Collectors Show this coming Sunday, July 17, from 10:30 – 5:30.
EVERYbody seems to have a Hydro Flask bottle. Big ones, little ones, fat ones, skinny ones. Aunty couldn’t understand what the hype was about and figured that it was just a fad. Plus, they were rather pricey – $23 for the small ones and $30+ for the bigger ones!
