According to neuroscientists, an astonishing tally of seventy thousand

thoughts traverse our minds every single day. Yes, you read that right - a

staggering seventy thousand! Personally, I am utterly amazed by this fact.

This leads me to introduce "Mutterings," a compilation of narratives that

delve into a select assortment of my own thoughts, dreams, contemplation,

and musings. Within its pages, you will find a tapestry woven from

reflections on places, occurrences, individuals, and trials that have woven

through the fabric of my existence. Now, I extend a curious inquiry to you: What do your thoughts encompass?

It is my earnest aspiration that this book serves as the catalyst, the spark that ignites the flame of inspiration within you.

May it embolden you to not only ponder, dream, and reflect, but to also share those instances

of your life's journey - be they moments of elation or melancholy. Join us, your companions and enthusiasts, in this endeavor of exploration

and expression. With warm regards, and a heartfelt "Aloha."
