“I” am the “I”

“I” AM THE “I”

OWAU NO KA “I”

“I” come forth from the void into light,

Pua mai au mai ka po iloko o ka malamalama,

“I” am the breath that nurtures life,

Owau no ka ha, ka mauli ola,

“I” am that emptiness, that hollowness beyond all consciousness,

Owau no ka poho, ke ka’ele mawaho a`e o no ike apau,

The “I”, the Id, the All.

Ka “I”, ke Kino Iho, na Mea Apau.

“I” draw my bow of rainbows across the waters,

Ka a`e au “I” ku`u pi`o o na anuenue mawaho a`e o na kai apau,

The continuum of minds with matters.

Ka ho`omaumau o na mana`o ame na mea apau.

“I” am the incoming and outgoing of breath,

Owau no ka “Ho” a me ka “Ha”,

The invisible, untouchable breeze,

He huna ka makani nahenahe,

The undefinable atom of creation.

Ka “Hua” huna o Kumulipo.

“I” am the “I”

Owau no ka “I”
