PB Office Blessing

On October 9, 2007, the new PB Transit Office in the Pauahi Tower in downtown Honolulu was "dedicated."

It seems a little strange to us in Utah where not only is church separated from the state, but also persecuted by the state, but in other states it is not so. Especially in Hawaii. The have "Blessings" for everything and talk openly about spirituality.

We had a native Hawaiian priest come and he blessed the office in hawaiian. During the blessing he sprinkled "pure water" from a mountain spring on the door posts and lintel and key manager's hands using a bunch of Ti leaves.

I also included a couple of photos from my lanai:

This all seems a little weird to me! But that is pretty cool! Is that the same office you are in right now?

It was a little strange. It is not the office I am in. Most of the Design team is there, but I am over at Ali'i Place, across the street.

That is so weird! It is really cool, but so very weird.

Too bad more places aren't like that. Why does it all have to be so separate? Those are the grounds this nation was founded upon; religious freedom and freedom from religious persecution. HA!

I like the view from the Lanai. Makes me several shades of green.

There is a lot to be said for not being so politically correct. King Arthur was right when he said, "Right is might," but we have completely lost that concept in our society. Too often being right is considered to be poor form.
