Jason Lupei's Guestbook

Wow, you are an incredibly beautiful man. :o)

McGuffy!
Ha, I was going through a box of childhood things and in the box was the entire collection of McGuffy Readers! I don't know if my mom taught me out of those when I was younger but I would not be surprised. Love your posts Jason!

One of our favorite Savannah hotels is River Street Inn. It's right on the river and central to all sorts of shopping and dining!

Wonderful and Inspiring
Hi Jason, I love reading your travel blogs, this one in particular because I can totally relate to it. I'm really impressed that you made it through nearly two weeks of meditation and noble silence! This blog reminded me of the numerous times I had to go to Buddhist meditation camps as a child. Everything you said I could relate to, especially the part where you said it was the hardest thing you've ever done. This is so true, and I had to do this as a 7 year old girl who just wanted to play. I really enjoyed your mention of not being able to kill anything, and how that was the hardest thing to abstain from. I know exactly how you feel. Those mosquitoes and bugs are so pesky sometimes! Especially in the woods! I always admired monks and nuns at these camps; they were never fazed by pesky insects! The ending was very moving and insightful. I loved reading about everything you learned and took away from this experience. Judging people by their character and not by their attributes is something that I will take away from this blog and try to apply to my own life. It is wonderful that you can now think back and have peaceful memories of your mother! May all your dreams be filled with joy and happiness. It's very inspiring to know that you're using this as a pivotal point in the enlightened path of life. Namaste Jason, may all beings be happy! Thien

Thankin' ya fer yer travelin' news!
Hi Jason! It's good to know of your latest adventures and insights. I truly enjoy reading of your discoveries and being an armchair companion in your travels. Your story on Minnie Jean and the quote "Later interviews with some of the bullies revealed that they especially targeted Minnie Jean because she walked the halls like she belonged there" was particularly poignant to me. I know how she must have felt . . . That hatred some people feel is such a debilitating cancer of the soul and is so damaging in so many ways! Love and Courage are truly powerful forces!! Best to you, my friend

Yay, another travel journal!
I love reading about your travels! You have such a great way of making me feel like I am there too. Thanks for taking so much time to share your experiences :) Have a great trip!

Wonderful observation
I must say that you are using not only your mind but your heart as well in writing and commenting about the places you were in. Your observation and the effort you just did to observe is quite amazing. How I wish that every individual who is traveling for a Spiritual Journey Hawaii has a heart like yours who is not only there to see what is needed and lacking but is there to see what is needed to be done. Commenting is good but acting is great. Good Luck and more blessings.

Welcome back!
