These guys are homeschoolers. On a Tuesday & Wednesday, they had the magical fortune of attending the Centre of Creativity Art School on Pohoiki rd. It’s a really special spot with one of the best Pacific views but it’s the love that we feel.. the love that’s been poured into every inch of the studio & land that radiates magic.
Three weeks ago (hard to believe it’s been only 3) the earth started to shake pretty hard, soon it began to crack and now, across the road from their school, is one of the biggest lava lakes this island has known. Six intensely active fissures are pumping lava hundreds of feet into the air before rushing down to meet the ocean. I still can’t believe what I’m witnessing and I’m not sure we could ever articulate how this experience feels 💔
The lessons are deep and also in the subtle adjustments we make. They are in the hugs we share more freely, in the eyes of new friends at the gas station and in our hearts as we see our community loosing homes & surrendering their dreams to reverence ~~ Tutu Pele 🔥 I am awed by your love

Stay safe, I just got home from Puna last week and have been following it, its so intense what is happening now!! Seems a lot of my friends are leaving the island now which saddens me for every ones losses. Unforgettable times!

Thanks 🙏🏼 it is intense times and it’s brutal to see the community being levelled in such a way... but also kinda beautiful to be present and witness the elements in play and Pele in all her majesty 🔥
Oh... you were here for @audioalchemy ~~ hey I’m @hedflux Steve’s wife

Indeed I was! I was also there last year. We talked very briefly one day. As scary as it might be, Your kids are blessed to experience all of this at such an early age. Stay safe, and nice to meet you on here :-)

The kiddos are the greatest teachers in these moments, for sure! Thanks for reaching out with care, it’s appreciated 🤙🏼

Excellent post!
