Nov. 18th, 2003 11:06 amYou know, poor Lohi'au. First he meets this gorgeous young woman and falls in love with her, only she teases and teases him, until she finally disappears from his life. In his longing, Lohi'au wastes away and dies. His sister finds his spirit and shoves it back into his body, and (in the words of Keali'i Reichel,) "she sits him down and says, 'Kay. What?'" He tells her what happened, and she warns him that it sounds like trouble.
It was. The woman was Pele, who travelled in her dream state, met Lohi'au, fell in love with him, teased him mercilessly for weeks, then woke up. She was still in love with him, though, and sent her sister Hi'iakaikapoliopele to bring him to her. She gave Hi'iaka a magic red pa'u (a skirt,) forty days to retrieve Lohi'au, and promised her that, so long as she didn't have an affair with Lohi'au, she would care for Hi'iaka's beloved lehua groves and her best friend Hopoe, who had taught Hi'iaka the Hula. They make the deal, and Hi'iaka sets out.
Only, the trip is not easy, and Hi'iaka, who is not yet a goddess, is beset by many demons and monsters and other nasties, and it takes her a long time to get there.
Meanwhile, Lohi'au has wasted away and died again. By the time Hi'iaka gets there, his spirit is already gone. Fortunately, she catches it, stuffs it into her magic pa'u, and brings it back to his body, where she tries to shove it back in. Only it won't go back in, no matter how much she chants and puts healing herbs all over him. Finally exhausted, Hi'iaka calls Pele (and here I picture her dialing on a cel phone for some reason,) and says that Lohi'au won't come back to life. Pele thinks on this a moment, then calls their brother Kauilanuimakehaikalani, who is the god of lightning. Kauila riccochets a bunch of lightning over to where Lohi'au is, and it revives him. (Odd, isn't it, the idea of using electricity to revive someone. O_O ^_~ )
So Lohi'au comes back to life again, and he and Hi'iaka leave to go back to Pele. On the boat to the Big Island, though, they meet up with a woman named Pele'ula, who is one of Lohi'au's old flames. She suggests a game of Kilu--a game in which the winner gets to take whoever they want to bed, if all parties agree to play. Hi'iaka knows that Pele'ula is going to play for Lohi'au, so she reluctantly joins the game to keep Lohi'au out of Pele'ula's grasp. Hi'iaka wins, but does not take Lohi'au to bed, even though she's attracted to him, because she's honoring her promise to her sister Pele.
Meanwhile, forty days have passed, Pele has seen the game of Kilu and is convinced that Hi'iaka has seduced Lohi'au, so she breaks her end of the vow. She destroys Hi'iaka's lehua groves and kills her friend Hopoe. Hi'iaka, who has become a goddess along the way, can see that this has happened. So, knowing that Pele can see her, too, she places a lei around Lohi'au's neck, and macks him in front of her sister.
Pele becomes even angrier and sends more lava their way, and the hapless Lohi'au is killed again.
So the two sisters battle it out. Hi'iaka is so enraged that she digs into the earth and upsets the balance of everything, and the god Kanehoalani has to come and settle her down so that things don't get all messed up. Pele comes to realize that Hi'iaka is also a goddess now, and can no longer be killed. In the end, they call a truce.
Meanwhile, a fisherman in a canoe has seen Lohi'au's spirit flying by, and has grabbed it. He delivers it back to Hi'iaka, who once again puts it back into Lohi'au's body.
There is a happy ending for Lohi'au, though, because he ends up staying with Hi'iaka and living out his mortal life in happiness with her.
Anyway, poor Lohi'au. But while Kumu Nalani was teaching us the chant about Kauilanuimakehaikalani, she told the story about the lightning, and it sort of grabbed me and shook me silly, so I did one of my "negative sketches" of the scene. (You know, draw the reverse colors and shadows first, scan it, then invert the colors. I'm not really good at it, or at anatomy, perspective or lighting, but still.) I'll probably make some changes tomorrow and re-do it.

Nov. 18th, 2003 11:32 amOh, right. The rest of the seminar was mostly great, except that on Sunday morning I tried to get out of bed for the last class, but my back was such a wreck that turning over was breathtakingly (and surprisingly) painful--so much so that I had my flight changed to that night so I could go to the chiropractor on Monday. It had been hurting before I even left for the seminar, due to some dumbass thing or another that I had done. But on Saturday night we had that party, like I mentioned, and I probably had no business doing "Maunaleo", and, well, that's what I get. ;)
So, though on Sunday I stayed around till around 4 PM, and I did eventually get (really late) to the class and tried to take some notes (which didn't work b/c someone was talking to me,) I did go home on Sunday night. I had a connecting flight, and ended up in the same cab and on the same flight as a Hula dancer whom I know very well. We had a lot of catching up to do, so it was pretty cool.
During the afternoon, she and I and a few other older dancers (she's 43--this is significant later,) took the bus down to the Hilo Hattie store on International Drive. It was great. The prices were so reasonable that I did a lot of Christmas shopping there and had to have some stuff shipped home. :) Then we went to lunch with Auntie Kai and her family, and that was really terrific.
So finally we go to the airport, this dancer and I, and we listen to CDs on my laptop while waiting to board, and then we finally get on line for boarding. (We both had our ipu hekes with us and we wanted to get seats where we could put them in the overhead compartments; that's why we were standing on line for so long.)
While we're in the queue, we (as we usually do,) end up in a bizarre metaphysical conversation. Eventually we get on the subject of meaning, existance, dreams, the Sight, and life and death, and finally she tells me that she's known since she was a child that she's going to die when she's fifty. She just knows: she dreams of herself as a fifty year old lying in a pool of her own blood on the highway. Conversation went something like this:
Her: "I'm going to die when I'm 50."
Me: "How the hell can you possibly know that?"
Her: "I've Seen it. You know; Seen it."
Me: "Dreams are usually more symbolic; Death doesn't usually mean literal death."
Her: "This time it does, but I'm okay with it. I've known it all my life, so I'm ready for it."
Me: "But why have these visions if you're not going to do anything about it, to try to change it? What's the point of being psychic if you don't try to change the bad things you see?"
Her: "It's my destiny to die young."
Me: "I don't believe in absolute destiny. I think that everyone has a little bit of destiny, but a lot of free will."
Her: *Shrug* "Maybe. Time to board the plane."
By and by I realize that this conversation sounds **~~!!REALLY FRIGGING FAMILIAR!!~~** and in spite of it all, I start cracking up. I had to stop and explain to her that we'd just pretty much done the dialogue to a story I'd written years ago, (some of you know the one,) and I informed her that in the story, we were both really hot guys. She asked me if the guy whose dialogue she had done had eventually lived and I told her, "Yes. Well first no, then yes. Yes. He does live."
O_O
Anyway, so that was interesting.
So now I'm home, with a head full of mele and chants and ideas and images. This is as good a place as any to dump them all out. Can only fit so much at a time, you know. ;)
