I’m not one to believe in luck but I do believe in chance. I believe that luck is merely chance that goes your way despite the odds. But I do believe that things have a way of going in your favor if you make good decisions or pay it forward. Yesterday I sat with the protestors at Mauna Kea. The protestors are against all the building on the mountain. I sat with them not because I was against the new telescope being built, but because I wanted to here directly from the people why they were there and what they felt, rather than have the TV news tell me. The news made them sound disruptive and mean and I found exactly the opposite. They couldn’t have been more friendly. The gave me food and drink and brought up porta potties up because the visitors center shut down so the protestors wouldn’t have a restroom. Leaving the people from all over the world that came to see the amazing mountain no facilities or water. Most people would be afraid to go up to a circle of people sitting down, but I walked up and immediately they grabbed a chair and brought me in to the conversation. They talked about the importance of Hawaiian history and that there had to be some rules on what and how things were put on the mountain. There are always bad apples in a group but the dozens of people there could’t have been more kind to me. But I was also kind to them. I came into the sitting with a smile. It also made me realize why I love the island so much. Because the rules are so strict about keeping things natural. No billboards, all lights have to be a certain type so they don’t disrupt the night skies, and minimal unnatural displays. Back to why I brought up the visit to the mountain. Since that visit, everything “lucky” seems to be happening to me. To the point my wife said “I don’t know what they said or did to you up there but you have been so lucky since” A forty five minute wait for the restaurant for everyone else but not me. For some reason they sat us down right away while everyone else had to wait. I have no idea why. Only 20 parking spots for a private beach I like to go, all taken, until someone comes up to me and shows me where there is one extra hidden spot. Went out to SUP paddle and it was for 2 hours but the guy I rented from said I was looking like I was having a good time, so I could keep it as long as I wanted, just come back when you’re tired. Was it the mountain? Maybe. Maybe it was because I come up to everyone with a smile and a good attitude. It’s probably the latter but I’m going to pretend I have the luck of Mauna Kea with me for the rest of my life. Here are today’s names
