‘Ilio holo i kauaua ~ Hawaiian Translation: Dog That Runs in Rough Water / Hawaiian Monk Seal © 2009 Sharon Anne Mau Marine Conservation Biology Institute A beautiful sleeping Hawaiian Monk Seal basking in the sun on Ho’okipa / Maui Hawai’i Monachus schauinslandi / Pinniped Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / 22.April 2008 1:16:10 PM / Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/320 / Av( Aperture Value ) 9.0 / ISO Speed 400 “An adult monk seal is usually dark grey or brown with a light grey or yellow belly. Adults can be up to 7 feet and weigh anywhere from 396 to 595 pounds; adult females are generally larger than males. Pups usually weigh 24 to 33 pounds at birth and weigh up to 132 to 198 pounds within five to six weeks. The monk seal’s common name is derived from its folds of skin that look like a monk’s hood, and because it spends most of its time alone or in very small groups. Most Hawaiian Monk Seals live in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands – Kure Atoll, Midway Atoll, Pearl and Hermes Reef, Lisianski Island, Laysan Island, French Frigate Shoals, Gardner Pinnacles, Necker Island, and Nihoa Island. These atolls and islands are very remote and are either uninhabited or have little impact by humans, thus providing an ideal habitat for these easily disturbed creatures. The coral reefs found around these atolls and islands provide the monk seal with its food supply: spiny lobsters, octopuses, eels, and various reef fishes. Their enemies include humans, sharks, diseases, attacks from their own species, and marine debris such as lost fishing nets and plastic products. They spend most of their time in the ocean but like to rest on sandy beaches, and sometimes use beach vegetation as shelter from wind and rain. Monk seals are expert swimmers and divers; one seal was recorded diving into depths in the range of 66 and 96 fathoms (396 to 576 feet). The average monk seal dives 51.2 times per day. The life span of the Hawaiian Monk Seal is from 25-30 years. The Hawaiian Monk Seal recovery efforts are overseen by the National Marine Fisheries Service, in cooperation with other government and private organizations and universities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages many remote islands as National Wildlife Refuges to protect their habitat. The Hawaiian Monk Seal was listed as an endangered species in 1976 under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Critical habitat was designated in 1988 from beaches to a depth of 20 fathoms (120 feet) around the northwestern Hawaiian islands.” Save Our Seals Hawaiian Monk Seal Information Source This photograph cannot be modified for commercial or advertising use, nor can it be copied or reproduced in any form without the photographer’s permission.

“Esperance” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © After driving for five days and many kilometers from / Adelaide across the desolate expanse of the / Nullarbor Plains, it was a sight for dusty eyes to / finally reach Esperance in southern Western / Australia. / The waters of the Southern Ocean were crisp and / clean as if they had come straight from the ice of / the Antarctica Circle. Early morning there was not / even a hint of a breeze and only a few curious / kangaroos nearby came to savor the quietness / and tranquility of this secluded little cove with me. “In every outthrust headland, in every curving / beach, in every grain of sand there is the story / of the earth.” / ~ Rachel Carson

Surreal red sandstone rock formations project out onto the beach at the edge of Cape Chignecto Provincial Park on the shores of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy generates the highest tides in the world, and it is the eroding action of these 10 meter (32 foot) high tides that are responsible for shaping the landscape along this shoreline in such odd ways.

“La Loba (Wolf Woman), the old one, the One Who Knows, is within us. She thrives in the deepest soul-psyche of women, the ancient and vital Wild Woman. She describes her home as that place in time where the spirit of women and the spirit of wolf meet … the place where her mind and her instincts mingle, where a woman’s deep life funds her mundane life. It is the point where the I and the Thou kiss, the place where women run with the wolves. The Creation Mother is always the Death Mother and vice versa. Because of this dual nature, or double-tasking, the great work before us is to learn to understand what around and about us and what within us must live, and what must die. Our work is to apprehend the timing of both; to allow what must die to die, and what must live to live. You can dent the soul and bend it. You can hurt it and scar it. You can leave the marks of illness upon it, and the scorch marks of fear. But it does not die, for it is protected by La Loba in the underworld. She is both the finder and the incubator of the bones. People do meditation to find psychic alignment. That’s why people do psychotherapy and analysis. That’s why people analyze their dreams and make art. That is why many read Tarot cards, cast I Ching, dance, drum, make theatre, pry out the poem, and fire up the prayer. That’s why we do all the things we do. It is the work of gathering all the bones together. Then we must sit at the fire and think about which song we will use to sing over the bones, which creation hymn, which re-creation hymn. And the truths we tell will make the song. There are some good questions to ask till one decides on the song, one’s true song: / What has happened to my soul-voice? / What are the buried bones of my life? / In what condition is my relationship to the instinctual Self? / When was the last time I ran free? / How do I make life come alive again? / Where has La Loba gone to? Go back and stand under that one red flower and walk straight ahead for that last hard mile. Go up and knock on the old weathered door. / Climb up to the cave. / Crawl through the window of a dream. / Sift the desert and see what you can find. It is the only work we have to do. / You wish psychoanalytic advice? / Go gather bones.” excerpt from The Wisdom Garden A composite image of the wild beauty of the seacliffs of Wai’anapanapa / Hana Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi
