big island hawaii; a piece of good earth

Purely delightful ol'captain Cook..
Simply
stunningly
Beautiful..
each & every cranny an'nook
The spinners came a'greetin
"Aloha! Mohalo."
The fishes swam a'teemin
in the crystal
pool a'gleamin
Jumping swimming gliding feeling seeing
things you never thought you would see
diving flying napping frying -
not even one bit caring
when things go awry
this is the calming effect of the ocean -

a world alive -

only
with much concentration, solice, & conservation
and when the lava flows and meets the sea
magic begins for all to see...
all who can look beyond themselves,
at least...



It's an uncommon theme,
this beleiving in something so much bigger for us all,
than us all..

But it has buried its seeds, and now it is growing
and now it is taking force
and now it is a whole new bird taking flight
a whole new wave to ride..
this beleiving in something that is not only bigger than us,
but smarter than us too!
But it is not new..

it is older than you or me
it is older than our ancestors
it is older even than the ancients
it was perceived, but over time ignored or beaten,
by our elders,
our adam & our eve..
it is not a word but a concept -

that god is in the water, not simply in the air..
not merely mythic being,
but reality & everything all around us,
and may not even
need a name

but just a reverence
for each & every living thing,
for not just the amazing but the seemingly arbitrary,
all the creatures
every current..
not only bits and pieces of god,
but of us all as well..
and a whole lot more.

That rock,
this bug,
that twig, blossom, or tree..
could be the key to life prolonged,
or our undoing.. eternal upsetting.
It is still our choice
whether or not to value these things,
but for how long?
