A solitary boat guides us through the wonderful wild biosphere reserve of sian ka’an (mayan for ‘where the sky was born’) a 1.3million acre mix of flooded savannah, mangroves, forests and coral reef. Situated on a long penisula south of Tulum on the caribbean coast of Mexico’s yucatan peninsula . Home to crocodiles, jaguar, puma, manatees, monkeys and more….. with a mix of freshwater bubbling up from cenotes or sinkholes and even some mayan ruins largely unexcavated and some 350 kinds of birds… An amazing gem of a wild wet place devoted to conservation ….but largely undiscovered…..

Nauweuwe Ka Honua / Hawaiian Translation: Now Comes the Heaven Born This is a composite of two images taken at the same location at the same time on Ho’okipa, Maui Hawai’i. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved / My images do not belong to the public domain Featured in All That is Nature 30 December 2008 The Hula Kolani “For the purpose of this book the rating of any variety of hula must depend not so much on the grace and rhythm of its action on the stage as on the imaginative power and dignity of its poetry. Judged in this way, the kolani is one of the most interesting and important of the hulas. Its performance seems to have made no attempt at sensationalism, yet it was marked by a peculiar elegance. This must have been due in a measure to the fact that only adepts-olóhe-those of the most finished skill in the art. of hula, took part in its presentation. It was a hula of gentle, gracious action, acted and sung while the performers kept a sitting position, and was without instrumental accompaniment. The fact that this hula was among the number chosen for presentation before the king (Kamehameha III) while on a tour of Oahu in the year 1846 or 1847 is emphatic testimony as to the esteem in which it was held by the Hawaiians themselves. The mele that accompanied this hula when performed for the king’s entertainment at Waimanalo was the following: He ua la, he ua, / He ua pi’i mai; / Noe-noe halau, / Halau lea o Lono. / 5 O lono oe; / Pa-á-a na pali / I ka hana a Ikuwá- / Pohá ko-ele-ele. / A Welehu ka maláma, / 10 Noho i Makali’i; / Li’i-li’i ka hana. / Aia a e’é-u, / He eu ia no ka la hiki. / Hiki mai ka Lani, / 15 Nauweuwe ka honua, / Ka hana a ke ola’i nui: / Moe pono ole ko’u po- / Na niho ai kalakala, / Ka hana a ka Niuhi / 20 A mau i ke kai loa. / He loa o ka hiki’na. / A ua noa, a ua noa. p. 217 [Translation] Lo, the rain, the rain! / The rain is approaching; / The dance-hall is murky, / The great hall of Lono. / 5 Listen! its mountain walls / Are stunned with the clatter, / As when in October, / Heaven’s thunderbolts shatter. / Then follows Welehu, / 10 The month of the Pleiads. / Scanty the work then done, / Save as one’s driven. / Spur comes with the sun, / When day has arisen. / 15 Now comes the Heaven-born: / The whole land doth shake, / As with an earthquake; / Sleep quits then my bed: / How shall this maw be fed! / 20 Great maw of the shark— / Eyes that gleam in the dark / Of the boundless sea! / Rare the king’s visits to me. / All is free, all is free! If the author of this Hawaiian idyl sought to adapt its descriptive imagery to the features of any particular landscape, it would almost seem as if he had in view the very region in which Kauikeaouli found himself in the year 1847 as he listened to the mele of this unknown Hawaiian Theocritus. Under the spell of this poem, one is transported to the amphitheater of Mauna-wili, a valley separated from Waimanalo only by a rampart of hills. At one’s back are the abrupt walls of Konahuanni; at the right, and encroaching so as almost to shut in the front, stands the knife-edge of Olomana; to the left range the furzy hills of Ulamawao; while directly to the front, looking north, winds the green valley, whose waters, before reaching the ocean, spread out into the fish-ponds and duck swamps of Kailua. It would seem as if this must have been the very picture the idyllic poet had in mind. This smiling, yet rock-walled, amphitheater was the vast dance-hall of Lono-Halau loa o Lono (verse 4)-whose walls were deafened, stunned (pa-á-a, verse 6), by the tumult and uproar of the multitude that always followed in the wake of a king, a multitude whose night-long revels banished sleep: Moe pono ole ko’u po (verse 17). The poet seems to be thinking of this same hungry multitude in verse 18, niho ai kalakala, literally the teeth that tear the food; also when he speaks of the Niuhi (verse 19), a mythical shark, the glow of whose eyes was said to be visible for a great distance in the ocean, A mau i ke kai loa (verse 20). Ikuwá, Welehu, Makali’i (verses 7, 9, and 10). These were months in the Hawaiian year corresponding to a part of September, October and November, and a part of December. The Hawaiian year began when the Pleiades (Makali’i) rose at sunset (about November 20), and was divided into twelve lunar months of twenty-nine or thirty days each. The names of the months differed somewhat in the different parts of the group. The month Ikuwá is said to have been so named from its being the season of thunderstorms. This does not of itself settle the time of its occurrence, for the reason that in Hawaii the procession of the seasons and the phenomena of weather follow no definite order; that is, though electrical storms occur, there is no definite season of thunderstorms. Maka-li’i (verse 10) was not only the name of a month and the name applied to the Pleiades, but was also a name given the cool, the rainy, season. The name more commonly given this season was Hooilo. The Makahiki period, continuing four months, occurred at this time of the year. This was a season when the people rested from unnecessary labor and devoted themselves to festivals, games, and special religious observances. Allusion is made to this avoidance of toil in the words Li’ili’i ka hana (verse 11).” Excerpt from The Unwritten Literature of Hawai’i ~ Sacred Texts Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

The Ancient Egyptians believed that every person was thought to have three souls—the Akh, Ba, and the Ka. The Akh was the immortal soul which emerged when the Ka and the Ba united after the deceased person passed judgement in the Egyptian Mummification. The Ba was able to leave the tomb and revisit the dead person’s haunts in the mortal world. The Ka was a less solid duplicate of the body. Without a physical body the soul had no place to dwell and became restless forever. The entities of the Ka, Ba and Ahk or elements of the soul, were believed to be perishable and therefore at great risk. The tomb, the process of mummification, rituals and magic spells promoted the well-being, and ensured the preservation, of the dead and their Ka, Ba and Ahk. The purpose of mummification was therefore conducted to keep the soul alive and ensure a clear path to the Afterlife. And for what it is worth, I believe these are the original words, which make-up the Islamic word Akbar given that the beginnings of Islam was centred around the same geographic region as the Egytian world.

‘O ke aka ka ‘oukou ~ Yours the Essence Sunset Scenics from Kula Lodge / Gardens 3200 feet elevation above sea level / Maui Hawai’i / Fine Art Photography by Sharon Mau “You are …. / beyond the body, mind, and personality / beyond all experience and the experiencer thereof … / beyond the world and its perceiver / beyond existence and its absence / beyond all assertions and denials. Be still and awaken to the realization of who you are. Truth comes to an innocent mind as a blessing and a sacrament. Truth is a holy thing because it liberates thought from itself and illumines the human heart from the inside out. I am a window. Look through me, not at me. Don’t try to find yourself or define yourself through what you do; instead, seek only to express your highest knowing of what you are through what you do. By being nothing you are everything. / By wanting nothing, you are eternally filled with grace. No person or event has the power to make you happy or unhappy. You want me to speak of love, and so I will. / But the Love of which I can speak costs me all my coins of illusion and so I cannot compromise its virtues nor quibble over its price. This Love is Divine Nectar / a wine found only at the innermost table. / It has seen endless days of rain and sun and harvest. / It has been made wise and mellow by the passing of time / and its refined taste is uncompromising to those who prefer their wine young and overly sweet. Although at times you may appear to be swept away by its dizzying effects / you will find that you have the clarity of a diamond / and the reflexes of a falcon. / You will remain capable of compassion and ruthless decisiveness alike. In one hand you will hold a feather / and in the other / a sword. Drink of the wine of this Love / and your life will change. / Instead of being the gatherer / of Divine Light / you will be its shine. It will be the end of you / and the beginning.” From The Innermost Table by Adyashanti There is no such thing as integrating truth into an illusion Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi / 19:19:22 Tv 1/100 Av 9.0 ISO 200 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

Hiro ~ Pa mai pa mai ka makani nui o Hilo / © 2008 Sharon Anne Mau / Sunset Ho’okipa Maui North Shore Hawai’i “THE INDIAN GYPSY by: Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949) In tattered robes that hoard a glittering trace Of bygone colours, broidered to the knee, Behold her, daughter of a wandering race, Tameless, with the bold falcon’s agile grace, And the lithe tiger’s sinuous majesty. With frugal skill her simple wants she tends, She folds her tawny heifers and her sheep On lonely meadows when the daylight ends, Ere the quick night upon her flock descends Like a black panther from the caves of sleep. Time’s river winds in foaming centuries Its changing, swift, irrevocable course To far off and incalculable seas; She is twin-born with primal mysteries, And drinks of life at Time’s forgotten source.” Poetry by Sarojini Naidu 1879 – 1949
