Go Outside and Play!

Go outside and play!” said God.
“I have given you Universes
as fields to run free in!
And here—take this and wrap yourself in it—It’s called:
LOVE
and It will always, always keep you warm.
And stars! The sun and the moon and the stars!
Look upon these often, for they will remind you
of your own light!
And eyes…oh, gaze into the eyes of every Lover.
Gaze into the eyes of every other
for they have given you their Universes
as fields to run free in.
There.
I have given you everything you need.
Now go, go, go outside and play!”

OPIHIKAO...

Warm springs are commonly found along the Puna coast from Cape Kumukahi to `Opihikao
It rains a lot on the windward (East) side of the Big Island, up to 300 inches (10 meter) per year. Most of this water does not flow directly to the ocean but sinks down into the ground until it hits a barrier. On the Big Island this barrier is made out of salt water which is more heavy than fresh water. The water in this layer then slowly dissipates to the edge of the island and flows into the ocean.
 
 
 
 
 


In the volcanic area’s on the Big Island, the water flows through rocks that are heated by magma. This heat is absorbed by the water and taken along to the coast. As the water moves away from the magma it cools down a bit (especially if cold water mixes in), but the water stays warm enough to give the visitors of the Big Island a comfortable warm bath!
