Strangers to the rescue
I would like to express my gratitude to two wonderful women at Kua Bay on the afternoon of Sept. 3. The big waves washed me up on the rocks and I had trouble getting my feet back under me. Two strangers came to my aid and helped me back onto the beach.
Without them I would have wound up with more than a skinned toe and bruised knee. Thank you so much for being there!

Embrace spiritual healing
The best kept secret on this island is spiritual healing. Every person on planet Earth is spiritual. Another way to explain this is whatever is spiritual is pure thought. We are in God, like fish are in the ocean.
In “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” Mary Baker Eddy wrote, “To those leaning on the sustaining infinite today is big with blessings.”
Because we are pure in thought whenever we think deeply about God, life, truth, love, we are healed. Mrs. Eddy also said that God needs to be understood, adored and demonstrated. In the Bible, Colossians 3:15 says, “Let the peace of God rule in your hearts … and be ye thankful.”
There are different types of prayer. There is praise, petition and gratitude. Each of these prayers works efficiently. It’s easy to praise God. Petition means asking for help and gratitude means to be thankful. Jesus gave us The Lord’s Prayer, which has its own spiritual meaning.

Leave dolphins along
Whenever I read horrible stories of how mankind is treating dolphins and all animals, it makes me realize that man is just the worst creature on this planet. He only cares about his own gain and thinks nothing about killing other living beings.
The recent story about the dolphin hunt in Taiji, Japan was heartbreaking. Then the story about those on boats who take tourists out for a dolphin experience just went to confirm this belief. All creatures should be left alone to interact with humans on their own terms. If a dolphin or turtle swims up to an individual to interact, that’s great but we shouldn’t be chasing them or tailing them by boat to throw swimmers out to play with them.
I saw on the internet where a dolphins approached a diver to get him to cut off the fishing line that was tangled in his flipper and the diver was able to cut off the line to free him. This is an instance where the dolphin came up to a person for help and some animals will do that. The dolphins in our waters are just doing their own thing and should be allowed to go on to live without being harassed by tourist boats and snorkelers.
Mother Nature will soon take matters into her own hands and either she will cause animals to go extinct or she’ll cause natural disasters to elevate the world of humans one section at a time through natural or human-caused disasters.

Fix the Big Island TV Week mess
Today I counted 115 copies of the Big Island TV Week on the counter at Honaunau Post Office. More in the waste basket, some on the floor. This is probably true at most other post offices since plainly people do not want them. This is an unconscionable waste of trees and postal workers’ time.
Here are some suggestions:
1. Cross reference the addresses of WHT subscribers who already get this supplement in their Sunday paper.
2. Stack them at newsstands for people who may want it.
3. Make it possible to unsubscribe.
4. Use the savings to pay delivery drivers a decent wage so we can get our newspapers every day in South Kona.
