    .. ..Dreams..: Cultures throughout the Earth accept that dreams lack continuity; we sleep, and in our dreams experience realities only acceptable in the context of dreaming. Upon opening our eyes, we close the door of randomness, cancel our relationship with the unexplainable, and press “play” on the parade of precepts we’ve carried with us from our past. Perhaps we may, if inspired, allow ourselves to discover this rumored paradise known as “now” by treating our waking reality as though it is a mere dream occurring whilst we lay peacefully in the dark of night. Or, as a dear friend once said, “May your reality become a dream.” ~..Makana.. ....

    What's goin' on Makana? May you be as vivid as your hallucinations. Your beauty is equal to the smoothness of a polished gem. Cities crumble, skies ignite spontaneously in your presence. The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. I find your eyes to be a wondrous amusement park filled with neo-plastic pleasures and turkish delights. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. I love your eyes, I know they can stare through my thoughts. In your presence even my shadow acquires the sensation of touch. In your absence I am forced into finding other forms of amusement while thinking about you. Your hair sends forth a sheen remniscent of golden sunlight winding through shadows. I keep searching for you between the cushions.

    Aloha Makana, just saw Jake Shimabukuro tonight at Kapolei Library he was promoting his non-profit organization Music is Good Medicine. I was wondering what it would be like it you two collaborated? You are both such talented and gifted musicians/performers. I think it would be spectacular.

    Aloha,

    Aloha Makana,
    It was nice and really an honour meeting you at the Tong Tong Fair.
    Especially 29May which is your birthday but also happen to be our Wedding Day.
    Mahalo for sharing your culture and the music and your talent with us.
    I really hope next time you will be in Holland/Europe again to have more masterclasses. You are really a master slack key player.

    You are blessed from above with such a wonderful creative talent.

    Keep up on slacking and keep up the great job.

    God bless you. -Ananias
