aloha

the wanderer - My Hawaiian Yoda told me that Hawaiian is "Ha" of the breath and then "Wa" …er I forgot but "Wa" was something cool and important, then "II" which stood for the Hawaiian supreme being, but one that no one spoke of by name. Hmmmm, I had never heard of this before, in all my reading and talking to Hawaiian folk, and thought that was a nifty bit. Yoda rattled off a longer version of the name no one should speak, and it was impressive.

So, at first, I had thought Ha-Wa-II was some thing about the "Breath of life" between the "sea" and "sky"…but I was off, according to Yoda. More like the "breath of life" from the supreme being or something like that. My Jedi training is going slow I suppose. Mostly I still really dig painting tikis, I guess there is a deeper full fillment I get from painting them, and sure, we all know they can represent other things. Or at least could if we wanted them to. Represent man, or man's creative spirit, or a higher being the sea or some force of the cosmos. Still mostly I dig painting tikis… because I dig painting tikis.

No German philosopher but a surfer looking for the perfect wave. Not looking down into the sea of moist, but looking down into the sea.
A few brush strokes on the sea and it'll be finished.
Aloha and laters….
