In days when I did dwell upon sacred Mauna Kea, nine moons passed amidst a sea of Kiaʻi, each soul offering labor, tears, and voices unto the mountain. Verily, a blessing it is to yield that which we have known, that it may be transformed anew. On that hallowed ground, Mauna Kea was Akua, the Divine; Makua, the Elder; Kumu, the Teacher; and Kahu, the Guardian. Called by a silent summons, I remained with seven kindred spirits, answering the voice of our leader who speaks in stillness.

From the deep roots of those nine unyielding months, a basket was woven, shaped by many hands. Thus did four sacred years unfold under the vigilant eye of silence. And as I trod that path of quietude, lone feathers did oft appear, each bound to a net that I had crafted with care. Now these feathers rest within a woven box, sealed by mine own hand, a gift and legacy that I now bestow unto thee.
