My Ma and Dad gifted both David my brother and me with large ears and big eyes. Though my brother and I need glasses to pick up on the detail of things in the distance, that minor adjustment has never interfered with the gift of noticing. In fact, it would serve me to ignore or let pass alot of the details and bits of stimulation in an ordinary day or night. Since that characteristic is not part of my native personality, I have learned to accept my observant nature and vivid imagination as gifts Ke Akua tucked into my soul at birth and pray for help when I've absorbed too much.
One of the answers Ke Akua has sent my way has been a different way to view time. Perhaps that answer becomes more welcome as I age, and witness time speeding up and the kino (the body) slowing down. In a very tender way, Ke Akua opened us, my kane Pete and me, to a more ancient and feminine way of tracking or being with time. Through the cycles of light and dark, night and day, Kaulana Mahina (the Hawaiian Moon Calendar) and the attending to Earth's only Moon becomes more and more important in our life.
