Being on the island of Oahu, on the side of the Haumea Bay, traveling alongside the immense cliffs with the thundering sapphire sea crashing onto the black stained rocks,I can feel the terrible and awesome power of nature, and how little we people all are in comparison. I can completely understand how people on the Hawaiian islands paid such respect to these powers. The fierce volcano on Big Island must be something so mighty that I can now imagine what it means to worship and fear something so incomprehensible and beautiful.
