aloha bob x - thank you so much for your comments. The Song of Songs is probably everything that has been suggested so far, and it is also so much more. In its essence, it is a search for a lover that is not there and in its depth it is a search for who we are and how we find that ultimate...

BB - this really made me laugh .... "yes, that is my problem in a nutshell. help, my problem is in a nutshell! how on earth did it get into this nutshell?" having your problem in a nutshell is a good place .... in some places in the south pacific in myths of creation, the universe is...

In the Hawaiian language we use to use the "r" sound which was replaced by "L" - so we now use "la" for the sun instead of "ra" .... Haleakala - "hale" (house) a (of) ka (the) la (sun) .... many references to the sun, the transition from night to day .... to welcome the sun in a sacred sense is...

Signing in a little late .... my thoughts and heart with all of you . shana tova umetuka (hope I spelled this right) pohaikawahine p.s. it is suppose to mean "a sweet new year"

Mahalo nui for the message Dauer - all is well and I have been browsing but not posting - I'm still following the path of Judiasm and hope to convert one day, but a few things have gotten in my way (not much family support in all of this). I haven't been posting much because truthfully I feel...
