How to tell of that Easter weekend on the Big Island?<\/p>\n
on the newest of islands where lava swept into the sea<\/p>\n
to see it at night<\/p>\n
the most stable thing you can think of<\/p>\n
stone<\/p>\n
the most solid immovable permanent thing in liquid form moving past you coughing orange oceans of steam\u00a0into the sea tide playing<\/p>\n
washing<\/p>\n
lapping<\/p>\n
dousing<\/p>\n
losing<\/p>\n
no loss<\/p>\n
gaining<\/p>\n
no gain<\/p>\n
all in movement in motion slow irrevocable how to explain<\/p>\n
it changes you it shakes you to the core it shows you that no thing is permanent that all is in flux<\/p>\n
it shows you what a raft it all is as this island and all others tear slowly away from the hot spot one inch a year<\/p>\n
floating<\/p>\n
that no physical thing in the universe is permanent in its present form that all is transmutable that yin and yang kaleidoscope each other all is fleeting<\/p>\n
as it should be<\/p>\n
just different from what we were taught<\/p>\n
illusions fall away<\/p>\n
just as they should<\/p>\n
