We need to stop meeting like this. Gonzo journalist and author, Hunter S. Thompson took his own life last night. A unique voice has been silenced.
I will share here with you a verse from Hawaiian mythology. Some of you will recognize the God, Lono, from "The Curse of Lono":
LONO CHANTS (OR PRAYERS)
Your bodies, O Lono, are in the heavens,
A long cloud, a short cloud,
A watchful cloud
An overlooking cloud; in the heavens (it is),
From Uliuli, from Melemele,
From Polapola, from Ha'cha'e,
From Omao-ke-ulu-lu,
From the land that gave birth to Lono.
Behold Lono places the stars
That sail resplendent through the heavens.
High resplendent is the great image of Lono;
The stem of Lono links our dynasties with Kahiki,
Has lifted them up,
Purified them in the ether of Lono....
