Everybody's talking at me

 I don't hear a word they're saying

 Only the echoes of my mind

 People stopping staring

 I can't see their faces

 Only the shadows of their eyes

 I'm going where the sun keeps shining

 Thru' the pouring rain

 Going where the weather suits my clothes

 Backing off of the North East wind

 Sailing on summer breeze

 And skipping over the ocean like a stone

waking up to yourself

WINTER SOLSTICE

I want to be washed clean

Forgive me for my idleness

Forgive me for my selfishness 

Forgive me for blaming others

Forgive me for all my sins

I want to stand in the light 

I want to live out my potential

Forgive me and wash me clean

you see me like no one else does / photo by j. ward edit by c. rodero

catching up to you 

KAMEHAMEHA I

I can feel the sickness grow

The longer I stay near, the bigger the sickness grows

The sickness must be medicated

The sickness must be cured

But the sickness can't be medicated
The sickness can't be cured
The sickness can only be tempered with faith.

No one lives without dying.

Temper the sickness /
Travel with the heart and think with the mind,

Know that you are a human and you are one of a kind :::

I may always feel the sickness whether far, whether near

but as I grow older, I know and see more clear

That there is really,

Nothing

To fear.

FINDERS, KEEPERS.

CITY OF REFUGE / PU'UHONUA O HONAUNAU

"In old Hawaii, if you had broken a law, the penalty was death. Perhaps you had entered into an area that was reserved for only the chiefs, or had eaten forbidden foods. Laws, or kapu, governed every aspect of Hawaiian society. The penalty for breaking these laws was certain death. Your only option for survival is to elude your pursuers and reach the nearest puuhonua, or place of refuge. As you enter, the great wall rises up before you marking the boundaries between the royal grounds and the sanctuary. Many ki'i (carved wooden images) surround the Hale o Keawe, housing the bones of the chiefs that infuse the area with their power or mana. If you reached this sacred place, you would be saved. Today, you may visit Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park, and still feel the spirit of peace and forgiveness that continues to surround and bless this special place."
