PO: The Dark of Night

A l o h a !
Welcome to the world of "Po,"
Po the dark, the night, the mysterious. . .
click on photos to awaken the spirits Beneath Waikiki's Mystical Moon . . .


"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more."

George Gordon Byron


The leaves reveal their faces. . . See the profile in the center?



"Awful Night! Ancestral mystery of mysteries."
George Elliot

And we humans float our own puny moon-lets . . .
an homage. . . a propitiation,
Whistling past the grave yard. . .



"People like you and I, though mortal of course like everyone else, do not grow old no matter how long we live...[We] never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born."
Albert Einstein

    We light up our lamps to illuminate the darkness in which we should comfortably sit within the months changing light, taking thought from it and adding nothing to it but more thought.

    I want to watch the sunset among the masts....the moon among the masts reminds me of the old "Shoot the Moon" game, where the metal ball traveled between two rods. We've just got to stay like children...willing to be amazed with paper lanterns...they light up without catching fire! DrumMajor

    mālamalama - light of knowledge you provide into a dark night;
    la'a kea - sacred light you are able to see;
    ho'omālamalama - you cause once more light to enter ones mind.
    thank you for this post, a nice start into the new week.
