Description
Understand, I am always trying to figure out
what the soul is,
and where hidden,
and what shape
and so, last week,
when I found on the beach
the ear bone
of a pilot whale that may have died
hundreds of years ago, I thought
maybe I was close
to discovering something
for the ear bone
is the portion that lasts longest
in any of us, man or whale; shaped
like a squat spoon
with a pink scoop where
once, in the lively swimmer's head,
it joined its two sisters
in the house of hearing,
it was only
two inches long
and thought: the soul
might be like this
so hard, so necessary
yet almost nothing.
Beside me
the gray sea
was opening and shutting its wave-doors,
unfolding over and over
its time-ridiculing roar;
I looked but I couldn't see anything
through its dark-knit glare;
yet don't we all know, the golden sand
is there at the bottom,
though our eyes have never seen it,
nor can our hands ever catch it
lest we would sift it down
into fractions, and facts
certainties
and what the soul is, also
I believe I will never quite know.
Though I play at the edges of knowing,
truly I know
our part is not knowing,
but looking, and touching, and loving,
which is the way I walked on,
softly, through the pale-pink morning light - Mary Oliver
Hō'okipa : windsurfing capital of the world and one of the most beautiful beaches on Maui.
Papa is the Hawaiian word for the flat table-like shelf of exposed reef which fronts the beautiful golden sands of Hō'okipa, between the sand and the ocean like a ledge. Makai of the papa the ocean is deep and the currents strong, usually pulling from the east to west on the windward side of the island. The area is one of the best known shoreline landmarks on Maui. In an archipelago like the Hawaiian Islands the water between islands is typically called a channel or passage. The channel between the islands of Maui and Moloka'i is called Pailolo Channel
