Ephemeral Life...

Honolulu is also the City of Brotherly Love...

Beautiful Jeffrey Apaka and his Aunt Nana Frances. Simply beautiful...

Koa loves his hat...

Koa asked me for a bicycle so he can enter the Ironman Triathlon...

In the somber essences of love... I close my eyes... And gently breathe you in... Completely... And Forever...

James Stone, Ku'uipo Kumukahi, Joey Winchester and Isaac Akuna playing beautiful Hawaiian music before the commencement of the Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana ʻ ole Pi ʻ ikoi Parade in Waikiki...

Slop or refuse bowl. I finished this bowl this weekend. It is studded with human teeth. It is now a part of my arsenal of mea Hawai'i to go out and teach the 'opio about our Ali'i and the Hawaiian culture. About Mana or spiritual power and essence. Inherited and acquired. About maunu, or bait, which is any part of a human, or waste, excrement, spittle, or other bodily discharge which contains the spiritual essence of the person and which can be obtained and utilized for ʻanāʻanā and other sorcery. To understand the full power and beauty of the Light. You must understand the darkness...

The Pride of Hawai'i. Mahalo piha e La'akea. Mahalo piha e Manu...

Na 'opio hiwahiwa. The beloved youth...

There were so many faces in the sky on my walk home the other day. Including a massive Polynesian face when I arrived home..at least half a face...with a Pueo next to him...or her...

In restless nights of vivid dreams... And endless washes of colorless scenes... I search in vain to behold the face of love... To embrace what my enraptured heart holds true... The only colors in my World... In soft shades of pastel kisses... Are found in You...
