“I” am the “I”

“I” AM THE “I”
OWAU NO KA ”I”

“I” come out of the void and step into the light,
Pua mai au mai ka po iloko o ka malamalama,

“I” am the breath that nourishes 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 everything.
Ka “I”, ke Kino Iho, na Mea Apau.

With my bows of rainbows I span the sea,
Ka a’e au “I” ku’u pi’o o na anuenue mawaho a’e o na kai apau,

In the stream of continued interaction of spirit and matter.
Ka ho’omaumau o na mana’o ame na mea apau.

“I” am the inflowing and outflowing breath,
Owau no ka ”Ho” a me ka ”Ha”,

The invisible, untouchable breeze,
He huna ka makani near near,

The unfathomable primeval substance of creation.
Ka “Hua” huna o Kumulipo.

“I” is the “I”.
Owau no ka “I”
