Light Bearer Sunday

A  L  O  H  A !

" The hero. . . 

kindles a great light in the world. . . 

sets up blazing torches

in the dark streets of life. .  . 

walks through the dark paths

of the world

 (being) a light. "

Felix Adler

Island Style Ka Iwi Coastline

A  L  O  H  A !

The People of Hawaii 

have fought to preserve

 the Ka Iwi Coastline

of East Oahu.

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.

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. "
