Begin again ... A NEW YEAR, 2012 ... The Year of the Dragon

Hauoli Makahiki Hou,

We prepare for the coming new year, a cycle of time marked by the journey of Papa Honua, our Earth around Ka La, the sun and the simultaneous journey of Mahina the moon around Papa Honua.  This blog began in 2011 as a venture into exploring the observational, first-hand experiences of 'counting on the moon' and tuning into the subtle and powerful cycles that are lunar or moon-tuned.  The stories, and storytellers included in the workshops focused on Mahina opened the way for us.  A small wa'a boarded by a few curious paddlers began the voyage that lasted six months.  All of us have grown in some measure as a result.  There is always more, but, the lessons of each present, each experience hones our destiny, shores up our connections with All, and provide us with questions we have yet to pose.


Aloha,
Mokihana and Pete
