Muku moon
@ Kīkala ahupua'a ma Kehena "Some more blessings of ua. We saw a lot of birds today. There was an 'iwa that was constantly visiting us. Here, along the coastline, I mostly see naupaka, mau'u aki'aki grass, and Hilo bunch grass. The 'Iwa bird always reminds me of rain or as a warning that a storm is coming. Naupaka reminds me of the mo'olelo of naupaka, of the love between Naupaka and Kai forever separated by lava. The waves crash against the cliff's side and spray a salty mist. It's coastlines like this that remind me of mo'olelo." -Mini Keli'iho'omalu "Through a side trail we are guided by ohiʻa until we are at the coast. The breeze, smell, and taste of the salt in the air is the same as Kalapana ahupua'a. The terrain is what changed. From pāhoehoe to ʻaʻā, even in the movement of the ocean. As our elevation declines the landscape from our akua convey their other physical attributes. The strength of the water crashing on the rocks is constant. Though there is still a phenomenal presence of life, I cant help but wonder why there is less limu. The concentration of limu was recognizable from a top the cliffs at our previous site." -Ka'ehukai Goin
