The title of this post comes from Pualani Kanaka'ole Kanahele's TEDX Talk of the same name. Over and over again I have listened, and watched; hearing and seeing the messages in Pualani's mana'o. Live the myth. Unlock the poetry.
Time has moved and myth and metaphor remain a powerful combination of navigational tools. The process of juggling, muddling through, and managing the complexity of choices and will. That original TEDX Talk is here. For those who come to HO'OMOKU with a deep commitment to making an island that will endure, the story of Pele and Lono shared in that presentation is powerful medicine. It's story.
To move Pualani's message, and the metaphor of Pele's initiation from an idea, a one-dimensional notion time and life must happen to the audience. For years I have been active in the translation for my life. I have dig into it; eaten the mana of the story; and, finally unlocked the metaphors to feed another story.
As part of the exploration of a life as Makua o'o please link here to read a segment of myth (The whole medicine story is available for the curious), and metaphors that will become appetizers for discussion and conversation. It make take you a short time -- meaning could send you over the moon in an instant. Or, the story might sail you to uncharted wandering. Anything, or nothing, is possible.
We will talk about this over lunch, at the tables in HO'OMOKU.
