"Hau'oli wā Ala Polohiwa a Kanaloa. May you reignite your personal fire and honor those that have passed. We are on the sun's southern apex today and the next 3 days for those in the northern hemisphere. Happy summer to those in the southern hemisphere. Go get your oomshakalaka on." - Kalei Nu'uhiwa via FB
Na aumakua ... Ancestors
on this sunny morning when we see the shortest daylight
we bundled up and headed for the Muliwai not far from us where we live on the Prairie Front ... making offering of salmon to they who fed us ... we give thanks, ask for their continued guidance ... and appreciate that we have opportunities to give back.
Geese fly over just as the last chunk of salmon is given back to the ocean ... adding their amama, amen.
The path of the sun at his apex ... the furthest south in his crossing ... we mark the location and kilo ... we pay attention.
And listen.
In the afternoon I baked Pineapple Upside Down Cake with whole slices of pineapple to symbolize the brightness of the sun.
xoxo Moki and Pete

ReplyDeleteThank you dear friend ... the same to you and your 'ohana!!
ReplyDeleteMoki, thank you for sharing the Sunny pineapple cake with us. It was delish, and since we are both down sick, it was a welcome surprise. Even better with a dollop of whipped cream. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy to be sharing, glad you loved it Eileen and Mary. The sharing spreads the sunshine. Take care!
