Kani a u'ina on an Akua Morning

Lightning followed by thunder "Kani a u'ina" Hawaiian Dictionary, Pukui & Elbert

In the pre-dawn hours the air was heavy, thick with pressure. Mars and the Sun in Cancer are conjunct, there! Opposing the Moon in Capricorn soon, the square is harsh. Depressed moon squares the ego and action is overt.

Outside the space opens, inside and outside.

The floor of the orchard is kapa verdant with laukahi, English daisies, hearts of the lion.

Come, the agitated pines call.

Cool the air outside. Quickly it is so inside.

Small at first the uila. Did I see it?

Again, this light is unmistakable.

Breathing becomes easier.

Under the green apple tree, green blessings.

Kani a u'ina

Lightning followed by thunder

Then the rain.

A little.

Sufficient.

Piha.

I dance bare.

Clearing.

Healing.

Now, kani na manu.

Now, the birdsong.

Soon, e ala e.

Mahalo

Na Aumakua
