Sep. 7th, 2010 09:37 amOur alaka'i (leader) of the Hawaii trip asked us to share a few words about our experience. I have an entire paper journal filled with thoughts, feelings and teachings from the journey. I doubt I'll get much of it up online however, I'm really liking the paper feel right now. But, I did write this to share with her website, so I may as well post it here as well.
Aloha Tracey,
I’ve been having a hard time getting words down about the trip since I got back, I haven’t got the faintest idea where to start!
So, as I have been since getting back, pule (prayer) is as good a place as any.
A big mahalo nui na Aumakua, na Akua, na Kupuna for such a beautiful, nurturing and loving trip with true ohana. Mahalo to Tracey and all the wonderful people we met along the way (too numerous to mention by name so I’ll just say Mahalo Kakou!) who made this a journey of learning and growth on all levels. Mahalo to our guides and our ancestors for bringing us to the shining shores of Hawaii to realise our dreams and to connect (or reconnect) with the ‘aina (land) and history of the Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians). Mahalo nui for all the blessings bestowed upon us and for the direction our canoes are now going in, for the healing received, and the insights and teachings we were shown. Continue to bless all of those involved in this trip, and to guide us on the next steps of our journey, continue to put wonderful people and teachers in our canoe, and bless us with the constant feeling of being in aloha. Amama amama ua noa!
