  sleep tonight
  by tsubakituesday

  We dont want to sleep tonight / Still young like that i count the lines / Beside your mouth that smiles now / My arms reach up as you go down / With buried heads we both forget / All of the past and its regret / Wind picks up, the window shakes / We wont hear the morning break Sleep tonight – Stars

  Pohaku O Kane Ki'i Pohaku Petroglyph Hana Kinohinohi'ia Maui Hawai'i Sharon Mau
  by Sharon Mau

  Ki’i meaning picture or image and Pohaku meaning stone Kāne (pronounced ka-ney) / Kane-Hekili / Kanaloa Hawaiʻi Nei Hana Kinohinohi’ia decorations by the hand of man / Ka Po’e Kahiko The People of Olde / Kanaka Maoli The People Hawaiian petroglyphs and the general cultural sanctification of stones on the islands of Polynesia “There is life in the stone, and death in the stone” / Earth Mysteries My husband Jacob Mau showed me the secret location of this beautiful ancient petroglyph on Maui in a remote area. I have researched the ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs all over the internet and I have yet to find another that looks like this one. To protect the cultural and sacred significance of this ancient *Ki’i Pohaku, I will hold secret it’s precise location. Lost in time are the origins and meanings of Hawaiian petroglyphs, the carved rock art of the ancient Hawaiians. No one is certain of their meanings for there are no historical records and those Kahuna who knew of the mystery and magic took those secrets to their graves. In ancient times, the only means man had to record his thoughts was to scratch pictures onto rock. Hawaiians invest worship and respect in, and intuited spiritual powers to, a range of natural objects and phenomena such as rain, volcanic eruptions, the ocean, sharks, fresh water springs, surf and individual rocks. *Pohaku O Kane, or sacred rocks, are among the most common spiritual objects of worship, whether they were naturally occurring in the landscape (pohakuia loa), rocks set on platforms (pohaku amakua), carved rocks (pohaku iki) or the petroglyphs themselves (k’i’i pohaku). “Petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, pecking, carving, and abrading. Outside North America, scholars often use terms such as “carving”, “engraving”, or other descriptions of the technique to refer to such images. Petroglyphs are found world-wide, and are often (but not always) associated with prehistoric peoples. The word comes from the Greek words petros meaning “stone” and glyphein meaning “to carve” (it was originally coined in French as pétroglyphe).” In Hawaiian mythology, Kāne Milohai is the father of Kamohoaliʻi, Pele (whom he exiled to Hawaiʻi), Kapo, Nāmaka and Hiʻiaka by Haumea. He created the sky, earth and upper heaven and gave Kumu-Honua the garden. He owned a tiny seashell that, when placed on the ocean’s waves, turned into a huge sailboat. The user of the boat had merely to state his destination and the boat took him there. In agricultural and planting traditions, Kāne was identified with the sun. The word Kāne alone means “man”. As a creative force, Kāne was the heavenly father of all men. As he was the father of all living things, he was a symbol of life in nature. In many chants and legends of Ancient Hawai’i, Kāne is paired with the god Kanaloa, and is considered one of the four great Hawaiian divinities along with Kanaloa, Kū, and Lono. Alternatively known as Kāne, Kāne-Hekili (“thunderer” or “lightning breaking through the sky”), Kāne Hoalani. Kāne was the leading god of the great gods named by the Hawaiians. He represented the god of procreation and was worshipped as ancestor of chiefs and commoners. Kāne is the creator and gives life associated with dawn, sun and sky. According to the possible late edition of the Kumuhonua legend, he formed the three worlds: the upper heaven of the gods, the lower heaven above the earth, and the earth itself as a garden for mankind; the latter he furnished with sea creatures, plants, and animals, and fashioned man and woman to inhabit it. No human sacrifice or laborious ritual was needed in the worship of Kāne.
