A message from the past

Going through old negatives in storage for over 30 years..

Redza Piyadasa (1939 – 2007) makes a sweeping proclamation, “Art is a Lie!” to Fred Roster at his One-Man MFA Show on the 3rd floor plaza of the Art Building, University of Hawaii, Manoa in 1977.

Fragments of a conceptual art piece by Redza Piyadasa at the University of Hawaii, Manoa (1977)

Liz Lee points out something of interest in the wreckage of Redza’s art after the show closed to Peter T. Brown.

Ho’oponopono and Blue Solar Water

Posted on 06.07.13 under Uncategorized

Sounds a bit like “snake oil,” but…

Fill with water. Place the blue glass container either in the Sun or under an incandescent lamp (not a florescent lamp) for at least an hour. After the water is solarized, it can be used in several ways. Drink it. Cook with it. As a rinse after a bath or shower. Fruits and vegetables love being washed in blue solar water! As with “I love you” and “Thank you” processes, blue solar water voids memories replaying problems in the Subconscious Mind.


The left jug holds 4 liters. The other two hold 3 liters.

Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len says that drinking this water will remove recurring “memories” or programs that run in your subconscious, freeing you from the effects. In other words, it will allow you to “let go and let God.” Enjoy this water daily and reap the benefits!

Not sure about this, but wouldn’t hurt to try!

Graduation in Hawaii means…

Posted on 06.02.13 under Uncategorized

A party. And no graduation party is complete without lau lau — pork, salted butterfish, beef brisket by itself or in combination wrapped with luau or taro leaf and then steamed.

Here is a crew going through the #9s (a Lehua-Palauan hybrid) picking leaf at Anekona.

There has been much talk about the threat of GMO and Monsanto grown foods these days. What people don’t realize is that the reason you can have a $1.00 Value Meal is because Agribusiness can make cheap food.

When you grow and pick your own, you will find that you are lucky to make minimum wage. Now add in the costs of the land and water. Sun is free…

A toast to your health and congratulations!

Dustin in the JapanTimes

Posted on 05.23.13 under Dustin Wong, Takako Minekawa, Toropical Circle

A pretty comprehensive article on Dustin in the JapanTimes.

However a few fact checks/corrections: Dustin is a little less than half Chinese, a little more than a quarter Caucasian, and a quarter Japanese.

He moved to Osaka when he had just turned one and then to Tokyo when he was 2 1/2.

Dustin ponders the meaning of life in Shimokitazawa.
