The tone today at the Pahoa Farmers' market was quiet. As lava quickly approaches our charming Village, we are all dealing with loss and grief in our own way.
It is the nature of life -- all things change, and most people I talked with acknowledge that; most of us are simply allowing the sadness to be in our hearts.
'Eha 'eha ho'i au! *
Impermanence is a good, if difficult teaching. With the hurricanes and Madame Pele, we are being offered a crash course!
Aloha Pele! Mahalo Pele!
(Yes, I stole all these pictures from a google search for Pahoa and mahalo to the photographers; please forgive me.)
*"I hurt"
