Makua o'o by-line from Hawaii Island Journal (late 1990's - 2004)

The Makua o'o are tomorrow's kupuna, elders, in training today. In the Hawaiian culture, the Makua o'o is urged to be in honest preparation under the tutelage of kupuna now. The o'o (with kahako, accentuation, over both vowels) is a cultivating tool used to work the ground, weed unwanted growth and prapre for planting. The art of becoming Makua o'o develops as a tailor-made journey of discovery, practice and confidence with that cultivating too.

"... however we might like to forget, our food comes from dank, muddy earth, and that oxygen in our lungs was recently inside a leaf, and every newspaper or book we pick up is made from the hearts of trees that died for the sake of our imagined lives." - Barbara Kingsolver

''Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there.'' - Gary Snyder (Turtle Island) I especially loved this reminder!

" We live in a world that defines “story” as something solely of human making; an invention that defines us apart from the rest of the living beings of this planet. But what if story is really the thing that weaves us back in, and always has been? All the wise old cultures of this earth call stories medicine." As Pueblo author Leslie Marmon Silko writes in her wonderful novel Ceremony
