"I thoroughly enjoyed working, playing and getting dirty in a new community of great folks, all willing to give generously of their labor for a common good. Most of us were strangers when we started at 2 pm, under Wades guidance, of physically transforming an overgrown and mishappen area into functional kitchen garden beds and walkways by pulling weedy vines from the earth, moving structures, chain sawing, filling wheelbarrows and layering beds from all the materials we unearthed or cut down. The new beds even got planted. Amazing! Puppies danced around us, clouds and light rain kept us cool and misted us, kitchen goddesses brought us snacks of manna from the land to nourish our bodies. Four hours later as we stood together smiling at what we had created together in such a short time, we all felt the magic of this island's aina and of the gifts of selfless cooperation. This humble body and soul body was deliciously nourished amidst new friends and a meal of fire roasted squash coconut ginger soup, yummy green papaya and kale and avo salads. Cant wait to do it again." :-))
