The Force...

I was finally able to take my two sons to see the new Star Wars Movie, The Rise of Skywalker. We all Loved it. In the movie preview, there was a scene where Rey embraces General Leia, and although I wouldn't say I ever thought of my late sister Nalani when I first saw Rey in the previous movies, I can honestly say that during that tearful embrace, the angle, her face, expression, everything is my sister Nalani's face. I was speechless and in tears when I first saw the preview on my small computer screen.

During the movie, I remembered the scene and eagerly awaited it. I wasn't prepared to see my sister's tearful face thirty-feet in height, in the darkened theater. We both were avid Star Wars fans growing up. She had a crush on Harrison Ford. Of course, when I saw her giant face, I erupted in tears. It was so Healing. Showing me what our Heavenly Embrace will look like someday. It truly is inexplicable really. It is only that one scene where it is my sister's face without a doubt.

I was able to buy an Action Figure of Rey. Which now is an Action Figure of my sister Nalani.  She was always an Emissary of Love, Light and Aloha. She is my Jedi. Always has been. Always will be. Love and Miss you so very much my Sweet Nalani...

I was able to spend some precious time with my beautiful sister Nalani. When I arrived at the hospice in Hilo, she was barely recognizable. So gaunt, weakened, and listless as cancer ravages her body. Her eyes were slow to meet mine as I sat on a bed next to her. As recognition set in, she grasped my hands. Tears streamed down her face and I burst forth in tears and sobbed. I never felt so helpless in my Life. It was only in her beautiful green eyes that I could understand all we needed to say without words. She was still in there. Her beautiful Spirit encased in a deteriorating dying body. So much loneliness and suffering in her Life. All I could do was kiss her, hold her, whisper in her ear, and promise her I would shine the brightest Light I could emanate, with all of my Love, to help Light her way Home...

Today was a most reflective day. After work, I stopped by the hospital to visit with some beautiful 'ohana. Two beloved women, from Kaua'i, each profoundly beautiful and strong in their own unique way, and by Divine providence, just a few rooms apart on the same hospital floor. Both resurrected from the precipice of death and facing intense life decisions moving forward. It was so healing for me to spend time with them both. To hold their hands. To kiss their lips, face and foreheads. To reassuringly caress their arms. To intently pray for Divine healing and an abiding comforting presence. Understanding deeply myself the precarious balance of Life. The most beautiful moment was to look into each of their eyes, deeply, lovingly and knowingly. To profess my Love for each of them. And while we hope and pray for the best, we also know the fragility of this Life. No matter what tomorrow shall bring, we shall always be bonded in undying Love. In the precious fleeting time spen...

Kane Po...

I heard about this pohaku from Hawai`i for several years but never had the opportunity to see it. Or touch it. It is outside the National Museum of the American Indian. When I came up to it, a squirrel was jumping around the pohaku. His left eye was `o`opa. A little droopy. I asked him to be careful around our Hawaiian pohaku. I touched the rock hoping to lift my spirits a little by feeling home. To my surprise, the pohaku felt intensely cold and dead. I held my hand for awhile against the pohaku, putting some of my warmth into it while conversing with my limpy squirrel friend. I had expected the pohaku to lift my spirits. I think in the end, I helped lift his...
