i don't know if IT's just me being a freak, or way off base, or whatever, but when asked today about how i feel about being here on Maui, how my relationship to the place feels, my immediate response was, "The energy here is very old and very powerful, and i feel like a stranger.... i want to behave more respectfully to IT and i don't know how." i don't wish to press the point because i'm a guest here, and wish to appreciate this experience in as much depth as possible, but i cannot shake the feeling that this land is immense, and huge, and angry.... like a great rocky mossy beast whose slumber is being disturbed.... and all the cars and driving ($50 to fill up the tank!) and consumer junk and crap overlaid over this creature's back is slowly eating away into ITs rocky hide.... slowly, more and more.... slowly.... and the deeper IT digs, the hotter fuels the burn inside the beast.... this beautiful island gargantua....
i just don't know.... i can't shake the feeling that everything corporate and human that's here is just so wrong.... and IT does not go unnoticed....
