Ocean of Oneness ~ Ke’anae Peninsula Maui Hawai’i

We men like to think of ourselves as pretty cool. like the earth revolves on an axis of us! – not likely! – hehe! But as i look into the communities every where, i see women more so then men, being the ties that bind families, communities. That indwelt spirit of solidarity and preservation for those abouts them, the resolve to sacrifice if need be in order for those around them to not go without! This is not a diss on men, we simply need to grow up, stop being selfish and step to the plate of life, then women wouldn’t be burdened with our short comings! Wahine – Hawaiian and Maori word for women or female, immovable Wahine! Immovable Wahines!

Red volcanic sand of Koki Beach and Ka’uiki Hill, Hana Maui Hawai’i. One of my favourite beaches on Maui in Hana near Hamoa on the east shore. “Some historians claim that sometime around the fourth or fifth century A.D., the first planned migrations came from the Marquesas, in extreme eastern Polynesia. For five centuries the Marquesans settled and lived peacefully on the new land – Hawai’i. “Walk and touch peace every moment. / Walk and touch happiness every moment. / Each step brings a fresh breeze. / Each step makes a flower bloom. / Kiss the Earth with your feet. / Bring the Earth your love and happiness. / The Earth will be safe when we feel safe in ourselves.” by Thich Nhat Hanh

One Heart ~ Hamoa Beach Maui Hawai’i One of my favourite places to be in the morning or evening, on this lovely black sand beach beneath the Keawe trees….it is so beautiful and the sand is luxurious! “Was it the wind that whispered your name or did you call to me from the depths of my soul? As the wind descends from the heavens and cools me with its gentle touch, your love surrounds me, / flows through me, / having no end, / no seam between your heart and mine. / We are one heart and one soul. A feeling of the greatest love encircles us both. / No matter how far apart we are, this longing burns inside of me for your arms to encircle me and your lips gently upon my lips. / Then I am complete. So hold me my love and never let me go. / Even if tonight it is only in your dreams, / because I am holding you close to me as I drift into a dream of you my love” / ~ Poetry by David Stanley Bell

Ke ala i Kahiki , meaning ” the way to Tahiti”. This collage gives tribute to the maiden voyage of the “HOKULE’A”. A ship designed and sailed according to traditional Hawaiian way-finding (navigating only by the stars, Sun, wind and currents.) Which gave birth to the “Polynesian Voyaging Society” and what some call the beginnings of a Polynesian Cultural Revival, in 1976. / Such a feet, whilst being a brave adventure, is but a re-introduction of what was an integral part of Polynesian society, such voyages between Hawaii and Tahiti in ancient times was not by chance, but purposeful and common place, as was it else where in Polynesia and through out the Pacific. / “Hokule’a” is Hawaiian for “Star of Gladness” and gladness it was for many Hawaiians, in which what was rekindled was a link to their ancestors and distant cousins and thus a greater vision and awareness of being Polynesian. / The significance of this event can not be understated and must be placed along other notable and life changing events of the 20th century. / This Collage shows the “Hokule’a” and her crew crossing the equator toward Tahiti, lead by a pod of nai’a (dolphins). Green and verdant Tahiti stands, the sun rises as the moon above bids farewell. A visit to http://pvs.kcc.hawaii.edu/index.html would feed the imagination concerning the triumph of this voyage and all that has sailed in wake of the “Hokule’a’s” first voyage.

The Marquesas or traditionally called “Te Fenua ‘Enata” or “Te Henua Kenana” respectfully, meaning “The land of men”. The Marquesas Islands are the island group farthest from any continent in the world, lying between 400 and 600 miles (600 and 1,000 km) south of the equator and approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 km) northeast of Tahiti. (Wikipedia) A island that still holds many mysteries within its landscape!

Not many of Rarotonga’s Tiki’s, such as these have survived into the 20th and 21st Centuries. Housed behind glass and in dark corners with in the recesses of a museum collections do they now stand! My Collage displays it within a context of colour and movement not an object of web and dust collecting.

A sunset behind the towered buildings of a city casts but shadows and variants of grey and whilst there is life every where, varied textures of greens are to found in the setting sun of the islands, it lifts the smell of flowers and the sound of a breeze though the trees! :)
