Thank you for the outpouring of concern about the tragic fires on Maui.
Our temple is on the wetter side of the island, we are not in the fire zone, the winds were coming from the north east and moving towards the south west. We are safe. We did not lose power or water and have plenty of food. Our water supply is another issue though as we have been in a drought and we are on water catchment.

These fires have devastated the island. Thousands of people have been displaced, 101 people have been declared dead so far, others still 1000 missing, and thousands have lost their homes and in many cases livelihoods too.
The island is coming to a stand still as they work to get as many non essential people off the island as we have limited resources.
This has been shocking, tragic, heartbreaking and it continues as some of the fires are not out yet and many people are unaccounted for.

Prayers for Maui
(sound on and envision Maui and all of her people being infused with beautiful blue, pink and gold healing light)
We pray for the souls whose lives were taken through these tragic fires. May they ascend upon the wings of angels to the highest heavenly realms.
May those who have lost their loved ones be comforted and strengthened during this difficult time.
May those who have lost their homes find shelter and have all their needs met.
May the entire population of Maui be comforted, supported and strengthened to move forward.
May we come together with love, kindness and compassion through this difficult time. May those who's livelihoods are affected be resilient and be supported.
As we pick up the pieces on our path to recovery may we aloha malama pono aina and raise up Hawaiian voices and visions for this island. May we have respect and reverence for these lands and the ancestors.
May we find a way to restore balance with the elementals. May we live a way that allows the aina to regenerate. May we be humble and walk the path of righteousness. May we have the eyes to see, the ears to hear and the heart to know the highest path forward so that we may live in peace and harmony with all that be.
May we find peace within our hearts and extend that peace throughout our community and to the world.
Stay focused on the Light.
