Hale Mahina ~ The Constant Companion / Mauna Kahalawai from Polo Beach Maui Hawaii Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi “The Hawaiian Islands comprise a total of 137 islands and atolls, with a total land area of 6,423.4 square miles (16,636.5 km). Except for Midway, which is an unincorporated territory of the United States, these islands and islets are administered as the State of Hawai`i, the 50th state of the United States of America. The eight main Hawaiian islands (also known as the Hawaiian Windward Islands) are listed here from East to West. All except Kaho`olawe are inhabited. Hawai’i (also known as the Big Island), Maui, Kaho`olawe (uninhabited; temporary residential facilities), Lana`i, Moloka`i, O`ahu, Kaua`i and Ni`ihau. Smaller islands, atolls, and reefs (beyond Ni`ihau and all uninhabited), called the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, or Hawaiian Leeward Islands are: Nihoa (Mokumana), Necker (Mokumanamana), French Frigate Shoals (Mokupapapa), Gardner Pinnacles (Puhahonu), Maro Reef (Nalukakala), Laysan (Kauo), Lisianski Island (Papa`apoho), Pearl and Hermes Atoll (Holoikauaua), Midway Atoll (Pihemanu), and Kure Atoll (Kanemiloha`i). Some information sources state that there are 137 “islands” in the Hawaiian chain. This number includes all minor islands and islets offshore of the main islands (listed above) and individual islets in each atoll. Following is a list of islets and small offshore islands that make up the total count beyond 19: Ford Island (Moku`ume`ume), Lehua, Ka`ula, Kaohikaipu, Manana, Mokolea Rock, Na Mokulua, Molokini, Mokoli`i, and Moku Manu. The West Maui Mountains or West Maui Volcano, known to Kanaka, the Hawaiians, as Mauna Kahalawai, form a much eroded shield volcano that constitutes the western one-quarter of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The Hawaiian name for the mountains is “Kahalewa`i”, meaning House of Water. Another name is Hale Mahina meaning ‘House of the Moon’. It is believed that these mountains are named for the Goddess Hina of the Moon.” Source: Wikipedia

The settlers built a Doric Temple to Athena on top of the crag in 530 BC. From this temple Hermias of Atarneus, a student of Plato, ruled Assos, the Troad and Lesbos for a period of time, under which the city experienced its greatest prosperity. (Strangely, Hermias was actually the slave of the ruler of Atarneus.) Under his rule, he encouraged philosophers to move to the city. As part of this, in 348 BC Aristotle came here and married King Hermeias’s niece, Pythia, before leaving to Lesbos three years later in 345 BC. This ‘golden period’ of Assos ended several years later when the Persians arrived, and subsequently tortured Hermias to death. The Persians were driven out by Alexander the Great in 334 BCE. Between 241 and 133 BC, the city was ruled by the Kings of Pergamon. However, in 133 BC, the Pergamons lost control of the city as it was absorbed by the Roman empire. St. Paul also visited the city during his third missionary journey through Asia Minor, which was between 53-57 AD, on his way to Lesbos. From this period onwards, Assos shrunk to a small village, as it has remained ever since. Ruins around Assos continue to be excavated.

I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” Copyright 2009 – 2010 © Sharon Mau / ourjrny / The Heart Within the Art / My images do not belong to the public domain. / Reproduction is strictly prohibited. / All rights reserved Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time: 30 August 2009 12:34:40 PM / Tv 1/250 / Av 10.0 / ISO 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / One-Shot AF / Drive Mode Single-frame shooting
