Hey Don,
please connect me with them so we can network.
I owe you a huge thanks for hooking me up with my friend Abbie in Topeka. We were able to gift together sometimes and it was a lot of fun. Also we would hang out and talk until we were blue in the face. [Image Can Not Be Found]
She is about the same age as my parents, and she shared with me here knowledge, experience, and WISDOM at a time when I really needed a friend with perspective. Much love to her, and again thanks for providing me the opportunity to coordinate with another gifter.
From my viewpoint, Hilo is both happy, and unhappy. Personally, I have never been so happy. I am blessed beyond measure with new friends and family. My coworkers are mothers and grandmothers and are good people that I am happy to know. In the Taiko group I have friends young and old and we are a great group of folks, family even. The Okinawa club has been very accepting and really welcomed me and I appreciate them more than I can say. There is an Okinawan saying, Ichariba choodee , “Once we meet and talk, we are brothers and sisters”. I may not live here for the rest of my life, but I am so grateful for the experiences I have had, and the friendships I have here.
The family is under attack all over the world, but I have observed that family ties are very strong here. Anyone who does not believe me when I say that family is really strong here, should come to a Hawaiian party and see what I am talking about! As far as the unhappiness, drugs are a real problem, and I have no doubt that the death towers are a vital component of dark sorcery designed to poison people here on the Big Island. One of my coworkers told me that drugs have always been very ubiquitous on the Big Island, but that within the last few years, many murders have started taking place. She personally knew three people that were murdered. Just recently, one man she knew, with a young baby, was found hanged in his home, and she was not entirely convinced that it was suicide. There has been at least one murder in the five months that I have been here. This in a town of 41,000 people. I will comment more in the future, and report more of gifting activities to combat such negativities.
On the subject of gifting sacred places:
Rainbow Falls is a 15 minute walk, or a 5 minute bike ride from my house. (For those of you in the know, I live right by the 7-11 on Kaumana Drive.)
According to my understanding of legend, the Hina is the goddess of the Moon, and of childbirth. The cave under the waterfall is the mystical dwelling place of Hina.
Hina and the Wailuku River

I have gifted the Wailuku River in a few places, and will be gifting it more. One of the first places I gifted in Hawaii was Rainbow Falls. Wainuenue means “rainbow water”. Here is a photo I took of Rainbow Falls.

She is a Aku and her name is Hina. The coral reefs are the body of Hina and the coral heads are the genitalia. From them, Hina gives birth to sea urchins, sea weeds, reef creatures, and their cousins of the land – fresh water shrimp, mosses, and small ferns. In many parts of Polynesia, Hina is know as Hine. Hine is the shortened form of Wahine (Woman), a powerful source of new life, and life giving source of mana, or spiritual power. Hence the term mana wahine (power of woman). It is Hina (Woman) who gives birth to ne life;it is woman who controls the moon, the tides, and the reefs; it is woman who has the secret of fire. It is mana wahine, the sacred power of woman.
