spiritual connection to the hawaiian islands?
Ty L asked:
ok so last year we went to a summer camp on the north shore of oahu on top of one of the hills in pupukea. While we were there there was a hawaiiana garden filled with every plant and tree known to hawaii and there was a native hawaiian lady there. we called her aunty bobby. She told us the garden was sacred and her ancestors hung out in the garden. For some reason I felt a deep deep spiritual connection and my whole heart was filled with warmth and i kept telling myself in my head, im home now, im home. Do you believe this is a calling? Ever since then ive been thinking about hawaii everyday non stop for a whole year. I love the culture, the language everything. Im white and I know hawaiians dont like whites but i respect all hawaiians and feel that everything in the islands is sacred. I am a very spiritual person and im part native american. I plan to move to kauai after college, should I get along with the locals ok? I would never act disrespectful towards them and nor do i agree with how hawaii became a state, it deserves to be independent. Do you think its ment to be, even though i am a howle?

my husband is kamaina so I know a bit about the islands. What you experienced is called locally “the call of the islands.” People experience that a LOT. Many act on it, some never returning home from a trip out there. I have met people who went out in the 50s and just left their old lives behind. It isn’t that locals don’t like haoles, it’s that haoles try to go native & it’s insulting. Imagine as Native American if every teenybopper suddenly started trying to assume your look, your talk, etc., bc they thought it was “cool” to be NA. so plan your move carefully, save a lot of money, and always, always, be respectful of the old ways. There is a lot of spirituality and lore in those islands and one does well to hold a reverance for it. aloha oe

Sure. Just don’t do anything stupid. Respect the aina (land). people say that if you dispresprect the aina some gods might retaliate. Thats why some hawaiians are always respecting the land and taking care of it. If you think that you belong in Hawaii go for it.
