On the island of Maui, in Haleakala National Park, when approaching the crater of the shield volcano you will find a small parking lot and a short trail to the place that some believe “spirits may have been uplifted”.
For the Hawaiians the bones carry the mana, meaning the spiritual power. In this place the trade winds meet the earth and the sky – transforming between mist, irradiance and precipice.
ike no i ka la o ka ‘ike, mana no i ka la ka mana
Know in the day of knowing, mana in the day of mana
Another day may bring greater knowledge and a greater spiritual power than today.
