Ahh, I finally made it to Hawaii, and it feels so good, so right. I am in warm sun and cool water that refreshes the spirit. My spirit is so high, so full of love for lava! Today started as I woke up to the massive Cruz ship coming into Kialua Bay, the lights were bright in the dark of early morning. I rode down to the small boat harbor and walked out to the end where I watched the sun rise next to the Hieu, or Hawaiian sacred site. The cultural site was built up lava, and a bamboo structure that rose into the sky, annointed with leis, flowers and other offerings and aligned with Mona Keu, one of the active volcano's on the island. I offered some seeds and some of the shells that I collected, and gave thanks in love and gratitude to be on the island, asking that I may connect in respect to the mana of island and its ocean waves. I walked past the ancient fish pools and across the crescent beach of shallow reef to a shaded spot to post for the day. I layed in the sun, read, swam, ran, and all around chilled out in the warm Kona sun. I met up with Heidi after she swam with dolphins all morning, and ate the freshest, ahi poke around from the fish market Bite Me.
No pictures yet, as I have to just focus on this new land, understanding it and my place here. I can feel that I am in the right place here, and know that there is much for me to learn here. I am keeping my heart open and my soul alive, refreshed and thriving!
Much love to you all!!!

Iya time poetry espeial:
Winds blow for the spirit earth
changing the directions of existence,
Adding implications os mind matter
to be freed from eachother
yet know we are one on the earth
in harmony with our beings being
Close and aware of each Other.
