Messages from Big Island, Hawaii, in Japanese and English
Today is Easter Sunday.
The energy is something very special here. The energy is gentle, people are smiley with aloha, and the air has something special in it on this island. Yesterday's sky was so gorgeous with so many beautiful clouds. One of them looked like a phoenix or dragon. I was starting at it for a while. Then, an airplane flew in the sky near there. Later, the same kind of 2 airplanes were flying side by side without much distance each other! They looked so close and flying to the same direction. Wow. I heard from the beach guards that they were military planes and doing a training for the military formation. I went to pray to Mauna Kea again. I was praying at the place I could see the whole mountain and pray to them. Then, I tried to drive home, but It was such a beautiful day. I wanted to stay a little longer there. I came out of the car, and then, saw an owl flying again! (I saw it the other day) It was Pueo, a Hawaiian owl. http://fws.gov/refuge/Hakalau_Forest/wildlife_and_habitat/pueo.html What a beautiful and amazing creature! He(She) was flying above the grasses. It was hovering for a while! The Pueo must have been hunting. I chat with a couple taking a walk. he said it hunts usually at the dusk or dawn. It was a mid-day then. Watching Pueo is said to be a good luck. Pueo is considered to be a sacred animal in Hawaii. Pueo is an 'aumakua (Hawaiian family god) for our Hanai Mom's family. Pueo is a symbol of Wisdom. It has a long and big wings. I was thinking how their hunting targets feel when they fly to them swiftly. They would be terrified to see the big face approaching with the big wings. They may get freaked out and frozen...... Comments are closed.
