The Lure of the Mermaid
“I was a mermaid in my past life.
I feel it when I go into the sea.
I feel a connection there between me,

they speak to me…
and the shells, they ring out to me.”
~ Ella Henderson

Take a Magic Carpet Ride
Hanalei’s Puff the Magic Dragon mystifies the North Shore in psychedelic dreams. “Imagination is the true magic carpet.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale
In Search of The White Rabbit
It may not be Treasure Island, but the magic still engulfs all who venture here. An unforeseen scavenger hunt for The White Rabbit of Jefferson Airplane fame continues to “pop up” in bewilderment. Is this Wonderland? Follow me down the rabbit hole through the tree tunnel and see where immortality and mystification thrive. “When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go…” dare you stick your neck out in a psychedelic haze? The fantasy mushrooms, for those who choose to see it. Do you accept the challenge?
