May Day, Lei Dey, May Remembring

 In May we celebrate our meeting for the first time in Santa Cruz in 1986, as well as our wedding anniversary. This year marks 38 years together.  The other anniversary we recall was the fire that took our home in 2018 and the year we spent being homeless while seeking legal help in handling the denial of our insurance claim. While we did, eventually, receive insurance funds and did relocate to a new home a year later, memories and emotions still surface. This year I created a collage that depicts the feeling of vulnerability and "nakedness" of losing everything, dealing with traumatic medical issues, learning about and living with PTSD and the lowest point in our lives. We were left with "empty bowls" and later had the chance to re-fill them though the many acts of kindness of friends, neighbors and the amazing support of our D9 team of lawyers.

Ahapua'a - Ancient Hawaiian Living - Still Alive Today

 

We often tell people that we
live on a "living land" and
often that relates to our
connection with lava --
the foundation of all the
Hawaiian islands.

The following video tells
how important the Ahapua'a
system was to ancient 
people -- and a system that
is being restored today.
