Being forn on Maui, my beautiful island
The center of my universe
Surrounded by Kaho'olawe to the left
Molokai to the right
Lanai directly in front of us.
The panorama was of a safe harbor.
I was shocked to learn that demigod Maui lived on Hawai'i
Ka moku o Keawe
My childhood stories pivoted on Maui as a Maui boy
He learned about fire from the alae at Kanaha Pond
He lassoed the sun at Haleakala
What a revelation that Maui, the land of my birth
Is not the center of Hawaiian mythology.
