Super Saturday

it's actually sunday as i write this, almost 1 am. wanted to talk a bit about what an amazing saturday i had. started out at 4 am riding out to kukaniloko with pilipo and leota to participate in ceremony on the fall equinox, sept. 20-21. we watched the swearing in ceremony of mahealani (forgot his last name) as he became kahuna for kukaniloko. it was pitch dark as we walked along the newly cut trail, among tall grasses (cows would have had a ball there!). i truly felt the presence of all kinds of folks other than ourselves and it made me happy. sometimes i get tired of thinking that we can actually make any kind of change at all. i don't think we can unless we have lots of help from outside this world. after the ceremony we headed over to dot's at wahiawa for breakfast (james, me, maria, robert, pono, kamuela, leota, pilipo). later we were joined by another couple who were at the ceremony. they trace their genealogy to queen kalama and gave us lots and lots of genealogy. it drained my energy. but talking with robert was really interesting. his major interest is in geomancy. luckily i had a little bit of knowledge about that, so didn't come across as a total idiot. the more he explained, the more fascinated i was. my energy level went up.

we got home around 10 am, took a shower, and hit the bed for a couple of hours. then we went down to palolo studio for some 'downtime', at evern's invite. it really was downtime! there was a karaoke machine set up. everybody brought food and some serious singing took place. i hadn't laughed so much in a very long time. and i didn't know all these folks around me could sing! jeff, who works at the studio, brought his saxophone and played a bit. check it out:

i noticed my own reaction to jeff's playing. i felt like he was giving us all a present and i was honored by it all. we were there several hours, listening to all the attempts at singing and laughing at our silliness. kamuela put on his elvis persona. what a crack up. haven't had time to upload kamuela yet, but will tomorrow.

saturday - an almost free day

i've gotten a few mini complaints about not updating my blog. too busy. and too lazy. and not a hell of a lot to write about, once school started. i'm always just trying to keep up. but there are a couple of things of interest to report.

i got an interesting email from a friend, which i've posted below. some of you also received it and some of you witnessed it, especially if you live on the leeward coast. i ran into him yesterday with his little girl (of whom i have numerous photos since the time she was a baby, and that's because she's there with her parents at all the ku`e functions!) at kaneohe mall in the food court. he mentioned that subsequent to his sending the email, he talked with a number of folks at makua, and the whole community is aware of these sitings. even more, apparently some uh professor has gotten a grant from the military to monitor these ufo sitings on the west side. i deleted some of the names (to protect the innocent!) and just included the substantive part of the message.
On Aug. 2nd, Sat., we were camping out at the place called, Camp Mokuleia. Since dogs are not allowed at the camp site, I was taking my dog for a walk on the beach for a long time until the night got solid.When I was looking at the night sky on the beach (I could see so many star), I immediately recognized two bright lights. One towards west, ka‘ena point and the other towards north. Both of them looked like a bright planet and the ka‘ena point one was hovering over the horizon and the other one was about midpoint to the zenith.Now those on ka‘ena point turned out to be two lights merging one occasionally. My first thought was fishing boats as it was close to the horizon. Then I realized those lights start floating over the horizon smoothly coming to a new position.At that point I called my son and another boy. I asked them to watch those two lights towards Ka’ena point for awhile and see what happens.They were looking them for awhile and they too recognized that those were indeed moving and in between those two we could all see a domelike “force field” expanding and contracting constantly.Then the other boy called his father, and his baldhead friend (I don’t know his name) came over and first his dad said “it must be optical illusion.” But he watched them for quite sometime enough to recognize that they are actually moving.Then he said it must be the “RIMPAC.” Not too long after he said that those two lights moved to the north west direction (quarter point between ka’ena direction and north), all of a sudden an explosion like flash of light (with no sound) took place quarter to mid point to Zenith and we all saw legs like Figure coming out and started to walk towards us. It was like a moment of flash but it was clearly recognized by all of us and all we could say was “what was that?” It was like a mega-gigantic human or he’e or some other being revealed at an instant. Even after that those two lights were moving along as if they were playing with each other hovering over, up and down, This whole thing took place between 45 mins to 1 hrs. we were able to go back to the tent and grab something to keep ourselves warm and also something to munch while we witness this cosmic event. As those light came right in front of us they began to go down into the ocean come back up and down again. And those two lights eventually sunk into the sea. And we realized the bright light on the right side was gone by the time they went below the ocean.The following morning I discussed with the other boy's father how UFOs and ETs are part of Hawaiian Sovereignty.

k-den. is that interesting or what? i recall kawehi telling a similar kind of story some years back, but this siting took place in waikiki in the early morning. something came up out of the sea and later went back in. at the palace on sunday, after we did the play, i mentioned this email to a few folks and, of course, other people started sharing their own stories of their own experiences. now i hear that a similar occurrence was witnessed just off kualoa a while back, only the 'thing' actually came up on the land. yikes!

is it related to sovereignty? i think it's way bigger than that. if the military contracts with a u.h. researcher to find out what's going on, can we assume it's not them? or maybe they just want to know how many other people have witnessed stuff they're doing. dum da dum dum...

i wonder if folks in kaneohe ever see anything?

oh, and by the way, i dyed my hair last night with two red streaks, one on each side. preparing for halloween. my son said i look like the joker in batman. i'd better get a hair cut today.

no pix of either ufo or hair.
