Yesterday was a profoundly Beautiful Day... Spending time with Beautiful People... Sharing with the Children... In the Presence of the Ancestors... I was gifted a most Beautiful Puakenikeni Blossom... It stayed with me for the rest of the Day and Night... An intoxicating Fragrance... That transported me to Destinations... That defied the boundaries of Space and Time... This morning when I awoke... That familiar Bouquet greeted me... Though the Spirit was Strong... The Body was Dying... I picked up that Solitary Blossom... And inhaled her Essence... As I Closed my Eyes... Tears erupted and cascaded down my Face... For even as she lay Dying... She gifted me the Beauty and Joy... Of Precious Memories... Sleep Well my Love... Eternally Grateful... I shall Remain... Forever Yours...

One of the things I learned from her is about how birds can carry messages. Spiritual beings, including deceased family members have an ability to noho, or perch, upon an animal, or insect for that matter, such as a butterfly, and communicate through a variety of ways through the temporary host. Even our ancestors, could willingly choose to be a host, a haka, and have an ancestor noho on them and deliver messages to the whole family through the medium. Birds have often been profound messengers in my Life. Recently, the introduced species of Rose-Ringed Parakeets have been my signs. I have had many encounters. At the recent opening of the legislature which also was a day of rallies and the Ku'i Kalo event, I was taking photographs most of the morning. I am constantly moving, led by Spirit, to go here, go there, shoot this, shoot that, notice this,
