This is the place to ask about my books, creative process, life, recipe for casserole--whatever. Come on... don't be shy....

Seriously, thinking of moving to Hawaii. Are we being ridiculous?

I think you should visit here first, if you haven't already, to see if it's for you. This is a different world even though technically it's a state. You can say goodbye to career goals and hello to expenses.

Also, all that stuff on 'LOST' about the island being alive? Yeah, that must be based on The Big Island because you will know if the island accepts or rejects you fairly quickly, crazy as that may sound. Whatever psychological baggage you bring, you will be forced to work on in very direct ways or get the boot.

That's right, I live on an island of therapy! Kooky. But then you figure all those plant-and-fungi-based shaman trips are about self-healing first, right? And this is basically a giant, living, breathing salad bowl. Salad just wants us to get better, apparently. (But then maybe you're looking to move to a different Hawaiian Island and it won't be an issue.)

Thanks Jeremy. Love your answer. Like the part about the island rejecting or accepting one,etc. Thats the kind of advice I need! Not considering Hawaii the Big Island in particular, but any of the islands. Then again, never been there. Obviously visit first. I'm not looking for a "career" I'm looking for nature, spirits and plant beings, a haven for the new agey side of myself, and lots of night time UFO viewing. Leave me alone, let me stare at the stars and swim in the ocean.

Will the Paratopia format ever return? I loved how you and Jeff poked at the ridiculousness in esoterica.

Wow, can't believe I'm just seeing this now. What timing. As you may know, Jeff passed away last week. So, the only "return" would be if I did a tribute site and rereleased the show for it. But we'll have to wait and see what happens there. I don't want to bother his family about it anytime soon.

Thanks for writing. May it not take me over a year to write back next time.

My condolences. I did notice on Facebook. I'm sorry to hear that. Many thanks for letting me know.
