When we are children, anything seems possible, the world is full of wonder
and laughter comes easily. Then what happens? We are taught to conform,
originality is scorned. We are told what to think by those less inclined to give
things much thought. How many of us have ideas that stay on the back burner?

My name is David Lewis. At 18, halfway through university, I went to France to learn French. The first summer there I walked
from the North Sea in Holland to Nice, then decided not to return to formal education and wrote short stories and songs instead.
Shortly after returning to the US, I was runner up in the Anyone Can Host contest on Saturday Night Live which indirectly resulted
in moving to Miami to work as a singing telegram messenger. Less than two years after moving to Seattle and starting my own
company with less than $100, I bought a five bedroom house near the zoo, then opened a costume store downtown. After my first
wife divorced and took the kids to France, I liquidated and moved to Europe, starting over again. Now the only costume I wear is
that of a flight attendant. Three years ago I transfered from JFK to LAX, in part to be closer to Kona to get this project started.
What I do best is write songs, themes that come out of nowhere. Few have been produced to where they are in my mind, ready
to be shared, like this site. Same basic concept, yet the ideas keep evolving. For awhile I have been trying to package thoughts
on this so I could focus on my music. It may seem like a distraction to some, but I am hoping it may end up as more of a call for
reinforcements. At times when I wonder why even bother to assume the hassle of such potential folly, I think of what a surfer said
about his decision to ride an epic monster wave that could have killed him. If he hadn’t done it, then he would have spent the rest
of his life regretting that missed opportunity. When on the airplane for hours, I think about inventions, methods and how to make
things work. Rather than complain about how life sucks, this is my plan to make it better for generations to come.
No diplomas, yet have learned from my mistakes. I look forward to getting my hands dirty planting trees, stacking stones, cutting
wood, whatever needs to be done, working with volunteers and professionals while learning. Once the right people come forward,
my role will become less central. I may be away more often than when I can be on Kona, probably on tour or scouting out other
museHaven colonies. Regardless of if you buy shares or just take the time to read this, thank-you for your participation.

For over 20 years, I have enjoyed working with some of the best people as part of the modern marvel many take for granted,
transporting passengers in comfort and safety. You can help this come together sooner. The success of this cooperative concept will
be a direct rebuke to the corporate greed some of us continue to vent about Social awareness takes generations to gain traction, yet
starts with a vision. We are in a unique position to make a difference by helping spread the word and fly to Kona to build something
which will make the world better. Even if this never grows beyond us sharing a paradise retreat, all my flight crew colleagues are
welcome to stay one night for free to check it out. Going it alone will take longer. Imagine what fun we could have together...
Even if one of my songs becomes a hit and money is no object, I would rather
give you the chance to participate in bringing this concept to life, not just for
having the material means to make it happen on a greater scale, but for
the pleasure of bringing dreamers together to truly make a difference.
What chain of circumstance in the lives of some great artists could have totally
changed if just one link had been different? museHaven is open to anyone who
values creativity and loves art or artists of any kind. A place where friendships
form and collaborations flourish and perhaps be that extra link resulting in
artistic fulfilment, rather than wonder what could have been…
