One day, I dreamed about the islands for trying to voyage to Kauai again, I have not visited for a long time.

Actually, Bali-Hai had invited me again.

"Bali Hai may call you, any night, any day, in your heart it will call you.....Come away, come away...."


We will notice that the highway ends after the first 32 mile marker on map. 

Following the map, Pacific Missile Range Facility in left, and the first dirt road will take us to Polihale 


It is the most dry are of the island, but, on the very very rare occasions that it rains heavily here, the road to Polihale can get pretty sloppy.


Here is the north west end of the island, Polihale, meanings of "source of life" in Hawaiian language.

From the extreme northern end of the beach and road, the magnificent cliffs and 100 feet high dunes of Na Pali Coast welcome you with His majesty, dignity and splendour as a Creator.


Can you find the Pole Star in the sky? 


It located at a distance of five times the side of the right edge of the Big Dipper.

On a parabolic orbit of a extension of the handle of the Big Dipper (Arc to Arcturus), you will find a quite bright red star Arcturus.


That star is also called Hokule'a by the ancient Polynesians, guiding those who had been voyaging through Polynesian Triangle, Hawaii at the apex, Aotearoa (New Zealand) at the southwestern corner, and finally to Rapa Nui, at the southeastern corner.

They knew the star Hokule'a is always passing directly above the Hawaiian Islands chain as a signpost star, meaning “Star of Gladness”.


And today, again, we also are to resume vivacious life again with the goal of this star "Hokule'a" (Star of Gladness), and standing on the beach Polihale meaning "source of life" in Hawaiian language.


Then, aiming for the star Hokule'a now again, I will start up again and draw "Star Of The Story" for you.

Two definitions of "a true friend" on bible



(1) "when there is distress" 


Authority on bible:

A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.
(Proverbs 17:17 NKJV)




So, can we not identify the true friends with not only the situations in the time of distress?


No, it's  too late among people trying to live in a positive way.

God is also providing to us the second definition below, too.




(2) “A relationship of  true friends is, when there is peace and security, even in a defenseless state, they will never exploit or defraud each other.”


Authority on bible:

You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of  unwalled villages; I will  go to a peaceful people,  who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’— (Ezekiel 38:11 NKJV)


They shall not build and another inhabit; They shall not plant and another eat; For as the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people, And My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands (the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full). They shall not labor in vain, Nor bring forth children for trouble; For they shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord, And their offspring with them. (Isaiah 65:22-23 NKJV)




Precisely because it is a daily stable mind as well as economically, should enjoy only with partner colleagues and friends and worthy of an abundance of them, you should not share with people who are not suitable.


That's right. we should make sure actively and seriously these things even in business or friendship, and should have the courage to eliminate them reasonably otherwise..

In accordance with this principle that says "A relationship of  true friends is, when there is peace and security, even in a defenseless state, they will never exploit or defraud each other".


To meditate with God’s words with the discernment which had already been gifted from our Creator, it will turn our life very simple and our york will be very easy and our burden will be very light, together with you.


“The truth shall make you free” (John 8:32)
