...one of the greatest privileges of a human life is to become midwife to the birth of the soul in another. When your soul awakens, you begin to truly inherit your life. You leave the Kingdom of fake surfaces, repetitive talk and weary roles and slip deeper into the true adventure of who you are and who you are called to become. The greatest friend of the soul is the unknown...

Fiji Gratitude #18

I am grateful for Fijian traditions that bring comfort & strengthen community. Today was a heavy day for Jimmy - mourning the recent death of his grandpa & also 7th anniversary of his dad's death. When a death happens in Fiji, the men gather around the tanoa, drink grog, & tell stories. So this eve, Tui Mali (chief), Jone,Tale, & Marau joined Jimmy in honoring his dad & grandpa in this way.
