When I moved to Hawaii back in 1968, a young mother and a devout hippie, I became acquainted with Reynold and Simon Feldman and the friendship has endured all these years. Simone passed away a few years ago but in 2007 I spent quite a bit of time with Reynold, (new name Ruslan)in Hawaii and he basically did what all good Hawaiian men do with an orphan, he adopted me as his Hanai daughter. I found a picture of my father and they look like brothers. So it fits. I lost my father a long time ago and he left when I was 10 years old so there was not the normal bond built with us but my bond with Reynold/Ruslan is what a father/daughter relationship need have. He has a lovely new wife, Cedar Barstow, and lives in Boulder, Colorado. He speaks at least 7 languages if not more and is executive-director of the World Wisdom Project along with authoring at least half-dozen books. This is what he had to say today on my behalf. I'm so blessed to have a friend/hanai father like this:
Dear Friends,
First, let me say I've been supporting Pilar's projects all along. I have known her since she came to Honolulu in the late 60s as a new Subud member of maybe 18 or 19. Forty-two years later, she is creating wonderful films out of nothing--a true miracle of Loaves and Fishes. A talented dancer, singer, and actress, she also turns out to be quite an editor, project developer and producer. She is making use of her true talents to create something useful, entertaining, and educational--using her spiritual development not just for personal improvement but for the greater good of us all. I'm pleased my professor-daughter Christine in Australia has also pledged to support Pilar's ambitious drum film, The Eternal Rhythm - a global revelation of drum, dance and song. I feel blessed to be able to add a little more each month. So now I ask all of you who know me to consider doing likewise.
Ramadan blessings,
