I just saw clips of the documentary and I have this to say: The farm is beautiful. You can feel the rumble and steam of the volcano beneath it. Jason chooses simplicity and, if I could, I would choose to learn about the taro which grows so big in the mud, and which he cleans off so quickly and expertly with his fingers. The rain comes down and cleanses everything. And the birds how they chatter! And how I would love to hear them carry their stories on the wind, and how I would love to give them a story to carry. Jason does not fear the camera, he embraces it. He says take me as I am....full of laughter, and one finger poi --one big long elegant finger that is raised to the lips and and which brings delight.
Okay, I gotta go jump off Akaka falls now.
