hallelujah! ha ha, hey hey, it’s dolphin day!!

from the moment we climbed aboard the boat right at the dock, the dolphins were out in full force to greet and welcome us so very soon we joined our relatives in the ocean and swam and swam with pod after pod…

such an electric energy field…. enthusiastic, exuberant, ecstatic….

there wasn’t a moment when i was not encircled by dolphin who received so much of our collective pain and suffering quickly transmuting to laughter and joy… and love, so much love…

leading us in a session of laughter yoga, weended our sublime communion with singing, you are my sunshine…

awaken with aloha in the ohana home overlooking kealakekua bay for a day of exploring dolphinville… heading right down to the beach, every step transports one deeper and deeper into the abundance of infinite love and gratitude or aloha and mahalo…

later, we venture over to two step beach to swim with our relatives only the dolphin aren’t out when we are so we venture over to the neighboring historical and sacred site of place of refuge…

so aptly named as it feels like sanctuary, peaceful place of repose for all seeking asylum….

though i could gaze into the reflection pool forever, the park will be closing soon so we get back over to the beach for yet one more spectacular sun sinking into the ocean in communion with quite a gathering of sun gazers….

thank you, thank you, thank you for such a day of  sunrise to sunset in the ocean of devocean…

may we all awaken in iridescent rainbow mystery…

arise with the sun on this last moment of dwelling in our lava cliff nest… soon, we take a half moon flight around the island returning to the dolphinville area where we began this magical journey of wonder and awe six days ago….

following a beautiful communion with the geese formation, we begin our voyage northward along the coast and find the most stunning picnic site at laupahoehoe point beach park… mesmerized by the powerful waves crashing the lava rocks, i am so content breathing in and out in the rhythm of the waves…

next, we land in the sacred  waipi’o valley of the two-facing cliffs on this clear day where we can see forever including the island of maui…

flying onward, we roll into the hills of cattle country before turning southward and landing at the beautiful sandy beach of  pu’ukohola heiau…

after a lovely swim, we continue our southern flight route to dolphinville arriving for a spectacular sunset…

blessed be!

loving the endless path we traverse

thankful for this moment to converse

silently with waterfalls, trees, clouds, rain and moon

gracefully dwelling in mother water’s womb…

oh, today is such a glorious day on the aloha rainbow trail… yes, it’s waterfalls day beginning with rainbow falls to boiling pots to coconut island to akaka falls and back by a surfer’s paradise…

is there anything more soothing than the sound of water falling home to source?

learning to trust in the waves

to bring us home with every breath

deepening and widening the arc our one heart

from me to thee to we

dancing the path of rainbow mystery

on today’s journey of awe and wonder, we immerse ourselves right at home in the commonunity of pahoa beginning with experiencing the quintessential farmer’s market and so much more… the pahoa market is known as the best in the state and people come from far and wide to gather, be serenaded by a ukelele band, eat delicious food and stock up on fruits and veggies and crystals and art and oils and…

we leave and follow the recent lava flows having to make many detours, yet, finding our way to iconic places like the beach where pahoans swim nude and the gathering spot of uncle robert’s where people come from miles away to sing and dance and talk story…

we cruise home to nene’s nest to listen to the roar of the ocean and wait patiently for sister moon to arise from the sea and light up the sky all the while smiling inwardly as we savor another day in pachamama’s embrace…
