MAHALO, for all your strenght, time, and. all the love you poured out from your most inner being, as our beloved land was being rebirthed, reshaped, and in a strange way made anew. IMUA HAWAII, IMUA.
Glad the air quality came better. I live 18 mi away. Didn’t notice till I viewed my vids. Wheezing. I’m better now. Acid rain was bad too. Eat my lawn mower. Bbq grill and everything metal around here. Well I needed new stuff. Slowly recovering. I was lucky 🤙🏽
Eye wuz there the whole time, left June 2nd, just flew away ... Went 'home', ta nowhere, which meant homeless in my home state...only to be surrounded by more fires from the south, to and fro an all around, been likened too a dream...Seeing this here today because of you dear brave at heart, eye recall the long booming gaseous nights....its been a long freakin'weird, short year ...dream of living wilde on big island over for me, dream of affording living someplace not toxic, basically over as well, as above so below- lol...the beautiful dedicated work you showed here, is only proof eye have, to justify the experience eye had the last year before Puna started to bleed...What came out of that lava was a Phoenix Rising release and rejuvenation of sorts. What flowed out as lava, was eons of pain and ghosts, but also new land...it was as if the underbelly of humanity's guts oozed out and blew all over herself...The Aloha of the People is what eye remember always, the cooks from the Natch keeping evrah buddy fed!... For me, eye left, as to not be a burden on available food and shelters necessary for agricultural families. Eye felt it inappropriate for me to live in car in da way, or on limited access roads civil defense needed in Duh way...It is hard to stand by powerless while more Fearful about creeps-N-thieves, and less about lava!( lol) 30 days of flow eye witnessed myself, Pelles hair sure iz fine! P.s. normally Big Island So Great even froma car she still worth it!...It was the best of times, and the worst of times, and a Pair a Ducks furr sure-...eye still weep for the suffering eye did see, thou the purge was an awe inspiring spectacular site of beauty, the suffering was not at all. The flowing lava brought out the best and worst in people, yes indeed it did, behaviors wide ranging symptoms of dazed and confused*** thank you for this big island news person...eye really needed closure! It was freaking real- lol
