The People of Hawaii
have fought to preserve
the Ka Iwi Coastline
of East Oahu.
Feels like driving
the edge of eternity.
Feels like driving
the edge of eternity.
Magnificent churning waters, foaming, leaping!
Coves, crevices, a fountaining Blow Hole.
President Obama came here as a boy.
Kamehameha the Great
landed his war canoes here
on his conquest of Oahu.
Ka Iwi means: "The Bones"
You can commune with the bones
of the island itself,
and perhaps discover
your own spine,
or even if you
possess one.
Ka Iwi means: "The Bones"
You can commune with the bones
of the island itself,
and perhaps discover
your own spine,
or even if you
possess one.
It is a vast space
that also feels intimate
and eternal
while very much
in the moment.
People
from all over the world
stop to admire
Ka Iwi

On a clear day,
you can see the isle of Moloka`i,
and sometimes even Lanai
as above.
Voyagers in sailing canoes
inhabited these islands.
It is a place
for solitude,
sightseeing,
for friends.
Humans are dwarfed,
as in Asian art.
" Here shall be
eternal summer
in the grateful heart. "
