My pilgrimage to my kula iwi, my kua Uli, the Mauna, begins here from Nanakuli to the piko kaulana o ka aina, the famous center, piko, of the land. As in my kamalii days I bring wai for hookupu from Haumea at Niuhelewai- the reincarnate of Papa- to Poliahu, ka Makahiapo, the First Born, Na Kane, of Kane, Kane o ka wai ola, Kane of the life giving waters. To Waiau, ka wai kaulana o ka aina. Paakai, salt of the earth, from Hanapepe will be another hookupu, offering- as well as a lei, a garland, of mele, poetry in prayer, to send off from the noonoo, thought, to the maoli i keia ao nei, the physical realm- word, sound and power. Receiving all of your purposeful meditations and prayers as a proxy organic prayer satellite and magnifying them on the Mauna, ka Makahiapo, the First Born, Na Wakea, of Wakea--- eldest brother of Haloanakalaukapalili- stillborn, buried, and sprouting forth as the sustenance for us all- Kalo. Elder of Haloas namesake himself- the first human, our first ancestor- the first alii of the aina. Manifest pono, what is right. I cant help thinking in this picture that they did not need to permanently disfigure my people, our gods, our conservation district, nor kill our endangered mamane and amakihi- just to get this shot. And what have we learned with the 13 atrocities before? Was temporary gain for permanent damage worth this photo or the attempted murder of our elder, the first born son of the creator of the Universe. Just because the foreigners killed their first born of their God, does it mean we have to do the same? Right now the observatories are his crown of thorns and he is hanging by the shreds of his flesh from the crucifix that is the illegal occupation, and that is science... yet they can no more navigate to the next island over without western synthetic instruments than they can recount the stars from memory. Such is the knowledge of the Oceanic peoples, and all without a telescope. How many years have they had these telescopes yet can not even fathom sailing thousands of miles across the ocean by way of stars without ever having known a telescope? How much more before the last fiber of the flesh of our messiah will rip off and have him fall dead to the ground- a carcass whose soul may finally have to leave us...? And who will allow this through passive ambivalence? Wherever you are you can do something. Take social media seriously. It has freed nations. Do your part. Post pics of support. Put a sign up in your yard- hold a sign up in your bathroom mirror and take a selfie- go to one of the many events we have facilitated for you all over the world- DO SOMETHING PLEASE. Aloha.
