Aloha all...
I'm going to be doing something different with this Artmail. I'll add to it as I get the time, but I'll include preparations for Kanaloa's Safari as part of it. Parts of my days are spent just enjoying the living in Kekaha. But it's not all fun and games...there are chores to get done.
Anyway, here are some photos since the last ones starting on the 5th:
...
Early morning Cane fire from my doorway.

From Tashi's swing while relaxing.

On the way for the "swim."
...
Sand pali.

On the 6th...

On the 8th:

The swim.

On the 9th and 10th:
...
......
Etc.
...
Here it is almost the middle of June. I have a lot of things to accomplish before mid-December if I am going to start Kanaloa's Safari in early January. Basically, I'm a traveler...the way that I live is pretty much like a person camping in his office/studio/storeroom.
There are so many time-consuming "duties" that have to be done when in a home as opposed to traveling or camping...and it seems the chores keep accumulating. Still…"lucky I live Kaua'i" …a common expression on Kaua'i and I express that feeling every day.
As you know, I've signed up with CouchSurfers. So, I have to start rearranging 15B to accommodate one or two couchsurfers. I figure these people are basically travelers, too, and won't be put off by another traveler's office/studio/storeroom couch or futon.
In these photos taken on the 11th, you can see the main changes taking place:

The couch room changing.

And on the 12th:

The couch and futon.

Changes come about slowly because...

...
...
Things get done here in "island time." Island time is something like the Mexican concept of "manana" (~ = the tilde for the first n), but it does not express the same urgency.

On the 13th...
...
An early morning visitor to 15B. (I had better get another camera for the safari).

When we got back, Walter, Dale, Erica and her friend, Jodi, had arrived with the dogs.

I had to leave for other obligations. I'm going over there this morning with my backgammon board and coffee and doughnuts after I upload this page. (It rained last night).

But, today is the 16th and I have projects to work on.

The Couch and Palm Frond Faces...waiting.

A lot of various projects that I have been herding along through time are beginning to come to a head now and throughout 2005. Of course, there are no guarantees that it's all going to work out the way I plan. It surely won't if I don't act out each step of the way. I have been creating the life of a "fictional" character...Boomerang Art…then, manifesting one by living the part. I don't need a TV…I'm living my own "reality show."
Rather than write the script, I think and plan very early in the morning. If I were writing a book about a fictional Boomerang Art, that's the time I would write. It would go from my head to the printed word. But, I'm not doing that.
Example: When I decided that Boomerang Art is going to have a web site, I didn't write that into the story...I live it into the story. (I do have to make the website). A lot of that living has appeared as photos thoughout my Artmails. Also, some of my plans appear in my web site such as Kanaloa's Safari. The Purple Feather People project is part of Kanaloa's Safari (or the other way around).
Stay tuned. That's it for now.
Aloha, Art
