Anahulu Hoʻēmi 9/23 – 10/2/24

Aloha pumehana kākou, 

This weekend I had the opportunity to spend a very brief time in the lands of the Kumeyaay and experience Piko o Wākea from the distant shores of my ocean home. The moon had brought heavy mists and fog to San Diego (which was truly beautiful to see and experience regardless of delayed flights), and perhaps the high-altitude clouds that we can currently see here in Hawaiʻi are carrying these mists and waters across the Pasefika. 

If we continue to consider the many ways of embodying ākea and spaciousness, certainly the far-reaching movements of water, heat, and tides come to mind. Even the moon and her pathway through the sky is indeed expansive, visible from any location and aligned with the mountains. Yet, at the same time, these concepts of space exist spaciously because we give them space. While I was away from Oʻahu nei, the moon and mountains (and my relationship with them) helped me feel at home.
