The memory from the walk was of the sound of traffic interfereing with the beauty of nature. I have never walked this road slowly, and therefore never saw the beauty, or the buildings, so clearly.
Today: the feeling of being drawn to the beauty of the crater above and the ocean below while being interrupted by the sounds of cars and the sight of construction trying its damndest to bury the beauty of nature.
Kawaika told us about malama, the "faded torch", which calls to us for support, and a'oloko (misspelled because it's not in the dictionary) which provides inspiration for teaching (if I understand it correctly).
A lesson would be to demonstrate how progress with integrity might be possible. The practical implications of zoning? In math, interpreting data demonstrating the affects of pollution from different sources.
Well, the final episode of 24 is on so I have to go!

Bruce it is always an honor to hang out with you. It is also an honor to speak with someone who grew up and knows of the place where my ancestors come from. I know I need to go to Pennsylvania soon to at least place my feet upon the land that my great-grandfather once walked. Mahalo
ReplyDeleteKawika... On the refrigerator of a 90 year old woman, many years ago, I saw this posted "There is a God, and it's name is Nature"
