Ascend in love is the enduring theme in my art and writing as I share layers of intimate connections with self, 'ohana  (extended family), 'aikane (friends), nature, culture, wellness and sustainable living practices. For example, "LAVA LOVE! is an exuberant celebration of life and its author’s passion to live with integrity,... a non-stop riot of color and abundance, permeated with tender testimonies,... gleeful glimpses..., unflinching bravery in following the promptings of his heart and intuition, and everywhere a sensitive attunement to the depth and wisdom of Hawaiian culture. It conveys vividly the energy, fire, vision and commitment needed to carve Kalani Honua out of the jungle, and to make it such a dynamic center of learning, creativity, spirituality and wholeness. A reader puts this book down with a sense of a full and undaunted life well lived in service to joy, art and knowledge, and to the unending ‘dance of life’ in which profound love of nature... never ceases." -- Ralph White, author, founder- New York Open Center
