Insta-Life

This past week marked 1-year since my father’s passage into Pō, the primoridial darkness from which all life is birthed and then returns to after (what we understand to be) death. As a family we chose to care for his body in a way much closer to the traditions of our ancestors. We have his bones in a hīnaʻi basket and feel his mana around us daily. 💓 .
From the time we closed the basket until today, doors into the life-cycle space, which includes “death,” have been opened. What and who has walked through this gate are the most amazing Synchronicities and people. I have been placed onto the path of amazing humxns who are committed to transforming the social fabric around “deathcare” - which is a lackluster descriptor for me. .
🤯 .
One of the most amazing people I have come to know is the founder of @pahikicaskets who is merging the old and new and helping to forge a path of Aloha ʻĀina - a love of earth/land - around how we care for those we love as they return to the earth... which has given me a new and deeper understanding of our term KULAʻIWI. In essence, land is made sacred by returning our bones to the soil in ways that are gentle, clean, sacred and loving. We are the earth and the earth is us. We are stardust.

You can learn more about how important (I feel) being fully engaged in the LIFE-CYCLE SPACE is by listening to Brine Season 1 - Ep. 12 & 13. (Link in bio) But more so, get in touch with your life’s journey now, however, you desire. Time entitlement can keep you from your fullness. Death is not a discrete event; it is part of a journey that we have yet to fully understand. #staywoke #mementomori .

As an artist and podcaster committed to sharing origin stories at the intersection of art, science, and soul it was a privilege to be present for individuals willing to share their deepest fears, pains, and lessons Learned. . .
..
Sponsored by @civilbeat and hosted at @waiwaicollective the stories shared around the topic of incarceration were deeply moving and powerful. Regardless of whether the experience was being in jail, being the spouse of someone in jail, being the parent of a prisoner or being the child of one, the gift of each story was basically the same. The answer is ALOHA—Love for self first, so that you can love others, and a deep commitment to sharing your love with community. . .
..
If you haven’t attended one of Civil Beat’s story events I highly suggest you do so… And if you haven’t walked through the doors of Ka Waiwai—A place where Aloha is served daily—You must. . .
