Hō'ailona...
This morning up at Kap ā lama, I witnessed a very powerful hō'ailona in the sky. I prayed it would stay until I could safely find a spot to pull over after dropping my son off. I only had my camera phone unfortunately. A giant pig, a long-eared sow, arose in the sky with a Rainbow na'au, or entrails, attached to the ' ā ina near K ū kaniloko, the Royal Birthing site in Wai'anae uka. The maka, or face, of a kupuna stood above and another below. Another profile was forming to the right as well. Behind, the expanse of Lihu'e arose. The lands of the sacred high kapu L ō ali'i. The lands of Kamehameha the III. Kauikeaouli. After I parked and took the photo, it dissipated quickly. In humble Gratitude. Always...

I walked past her and retrieved what I needed and then prepared to exit the room. She was still there. I said aloud, "Hello there. I am not going to smash you."

Instead, she moved closer to my finger and softly touched it again with her antennae. I moved away again. She slowly advanced, crawling slowly and following my finger. Retreat. Approach. Retreat.

Gratitude...
Last night, after the good news about the dismantling of the hurricane reverberated across the islands, I was pretty exhausted. I sat on my balcony, enjoying the cool gusty breezes, listening to my favorite songs, watching the clouds go by. Unwinding. Unbinding. Unblinding. Many faces appeared in the ever changing cloud cover flowing by in a Pantheon of Spirit. Trying to grab my camera and stand up to shoot away seemed intrusive. I was too tired physically, emotionally and mentally to even try and just stared in awe sending my Gratitude and Love. With so many disaster movies, many people unfortunately look forward to destructive Mother Nature. As long as they are safe, they want to see drama to break up the monotony of repetitive mundane daily life which can go on, seemingly unchanged, for years. People not living in Hawai'i with no attachment, and no concern, can look forward to images of devastation, to ease the pain of their own insecurities and disappointments in
Boars...
At Twilight, I watched these two massive Boars charging across the Wai'anae Mountain Range towards Hurricane Lane...
