For the Hawaiian Makahiki and the American Thanksgiving season, Rebekah’s Studio offers a meditation from 2008.
“In This Place”
Here, in this place, I am thankful for The feeling of peace The sea the ocean the waves The green mountains — that there are mountains The peach and lavender sky — only here The sunrises and the starlit skies The Hawaiian people and how we love each other The genuineness and the caring How we all appreciate That we can grow our food and touch the ʻāina That we have fresh water and clean air That we hold on to our values and cherish our relationships That our keiki have a place to play That it is easy to see our Source. Just look around! ~ Rebekah Oe-Len Kehaulani LukeReprinted from ‘Umeke Writings: An Anthology, edited by Rebekah Luke and Meleanna Meyer, published by Na Kamalei—K.E.E.P., 2008 (ISBN: 978-1-935111-00-9).
