Meeting every day at noon, a group of Occupy protesters engage in silent meditation for 1 hour. There is a core group of 10-15 people. In the past 2 days the group has swelled to over 100 as others join in.

Their spot has been on the steps into City Hall park, but due to the recent upheavals, they have been meeting in front of the Walgreen's on the corner of 14th and Broadway. Once the park becomes peaceful again and open to Occupy, they will reconvene on the steps.

Occupy the present at Occupy Oakland. A group sits in silent meditation every day from noon to 1pm at the same location, although it looks like they got rousted from their usual location on Tuesday.

I received reports from a friend who is there each day. The quiet immediacy of his notes seemed worthwhile amidst all the reports of violence. See his updates below:

There is a natural connection that all human beings share. Hawaiian Kahuna magic, known as ho’omanamana or concentrated thought power, may play a part in the presence of Barack Obama on the world’s stage. That natural connection is being touched and activated.

Barack Obama was born and raised in Honolulu Hawaii. Much is made of his Harvard Law Review days, his community organizing work, his constitutional law classes, but there is not much talk of his early formative years in Hawaii, Obama’s Hawaiian roots are deep and important to understand who he is today.

Those who were blessed by a Hawaiian childhood feel the deep connection to nature and the spirit of Aloha that are the gifts Hawaii offers freely to all who are able to receive it.
