My Impressions

A few new faces, but basically the same group gathers, leaving our separate driveways we go into Kilauea town.  Coming for ourselves, for what is probably our most precious investment, our home and all that means to each of us.  Coming for our neighbors, for our sometimes wounded community.  Some like me, hoping to see signs of healing and perhaps resolution even.  It is there this November night.  Coming from our president, "We are in an evolving conversation taking place during economic disadvantageous times. There is no end game here if you are looking for one.  What is needed is trust and good intentions in order to go forward in a healthy way." 
 
Good news is shared of our lawyers released from their contract and sending us a refund.  Had I heard it right, could that be possible? Sounds like an oxymoron to me.  A DLNR dam safety engineer pleased with our dam faces all cleared front and back so she could do an informal visual inspection.  We have time, as much as five years maybe.  Studies done as needed with their assistance all along the way.  A monthly report kept on file for DLNR review if requested. It becomes clearer now, keeping our body of water intact is wanted and most likely our least expensive, most cost efficient way forward.  

A community coming together around our lake, with a high priority now to improve its access for all our 181 members.  To make sure of the adequacy of our spillway.  A good 45 foot wide, Rock Quarry filled dam with an intact pali on the far side.  Repairs already made by members working together resulting in our easement holder partners bringing good will back to us ten fold. A lot to do still, but a healthy productive beginning.  Gratitude given to all.  Leaving with a sense of having truly gathered.  

Going home in peace, remembering that beautiful image a few nights back out in our boat on the lake.  Two women riding, walking their horses on the dam, back lit at sunset, reflected in its water full to the shoreline.  Looking up after that moment and seeing a flock of plovers flying in for a landing to the tree lined, undeveloped part of lakeside.  It seems we all have a plover in our driveways during the day this time of year, but I never knew until now they gather at night to sleep together at our lakeside.  A place where they too can find some peace, some healing perhaps after a busy day feeding in our driveways.

Aloha, Maggie Lea
