I have been taking some more hawaiian classes to speak the language. I am a bit rusty but wanted to share a little poem.
:Mauka:
Looking towards the mountains
:Makai:
Then towards the sea
:Pahoehoe:
I saw smooth lava flowing
Endlessly
:Lei:
Towards a garden of flowers
:Lokahi:
They unite, in agreement
It's all perfect harmony
:Pahu:
The drums
:Nani:
Play beautifully
Oli:
A chant that was not danced to
You could fill :Aumakua:
A personal God.

Hi darling
Lovely poem, Shy.
Been wondering where you were. Wonder if that was why I was inspired to browse "The Secret Science Behind Miracles" by Max Freedom Long about Huna tradition. It's a fascinating book.
Aloha.

And I'm very well, thank you. Now that's Spring has sprung I've started going for long walks. Just walked for 2 hours and I'm on the other side of London right now. It's going to take me 3 hours to get home by bus. rolling eyes.
Well you have a lovely day.

Shyloh, I love it! Thanks for doing this; it was amazing. I especially liked the part about a chant that was not danced to. Very nice and worth waiting for!!! :)
