This
sea-nymph of Hawaii's Island of Kaua'i,
Noekaia, dreams away the day, splashing in
the waves and catching the tiny stars of Kalani's (the heavens') dust
between her dancing fingers, as
seeds of dreams yet to come. She is one of the many neighboring
“sea-stars” (sea- sisters) to legendary mermaid Lehua, who resides deep
in the waters of Poliolehua,
at the Waimea river mouth
of the same island. The gentle rains of eternal spring immerse her in
life-giving, crystalline waters, as they reflect her spirit of
contentment and
quiet play. She delights in the graceful movements of the ancient
Hawaiian
dance, the hula, dreaming awake the consciousness of oli, joyful song, through
her hands and heart:
Halau
Hanalei i ka nini a ka ua
Kumano
ke po’o-wai a ka liko
Naha
ka opi-wai a Wai-aloha
O
ke kahi koe a hiki i Wai-oli.
(Hanalei is a temple for the dance in
the
pouring rain
The stream-head is turned from its
bed of fresh
green
Broken the dam that pent the water of
love—
Naught now to hinder its rush to the
vale of
delight.)
[Oli: from The
Sacred Songs of the Hula ,
compiled by
N.
Emerson.]
*
May
the emanations
of this oli
bless your life
always.*
