- About Me:
- I was born: Elahe, Olga, Lupepau'u, Toutaiolepo to Valerie Pereira from Catskill, NY and Ikavuka Toutaiolepo from Nuku'alofa, Tonga. My mother was an American Peace Corp in Tonga, and there she met my father on his island. They were both Baha'i at the time. My mother learned about the Faith through her adventurous sister, and my father embraced the Faith after his father became Baha'i, my grandparents were on the first local spiritual assembly in their country of Tonga. I was raised Baha'i. I have recently become active in my community after a few years of inactivity...and am learning even more through SoulTalk...which I am grateful our dear friend, Todd has created for all of us to learn together even if across oceans. I enjoy reading the blogs and poems on here...and am glad that we can connect and communicate through this medium as I know that some of us may be isolated or not have a big community to commune with. Aren't we the lucky ones in this age of communication! So nice to meet you...and if you visit my page now and then, you might see it changing often...as I am prone to having fun with design. Please feel friendly and drop me a line now and then.
Peace,
Elahe

My calamity is My providence, outwardly it is fire and vengeance, but inwardly it is light and mercy. Hasten thereunto that thou mayest become an eternal light and an immortal spirit. This is My command unto thee, do thou observe it.

Entering into the Fast...Entering..into this Ever Advancing Civilization...Spurn this mortal world...
As we are approaching the fast, I feel the need to organize...
I feel the urgency to change the parts of me that must die in order for
The higher steps of the ladder to appear...and live...to see them and to step up...
I feel, we are all doing this...at many levels, some of ours may be more primal than others...but still...the same...
Putting away books into the bookshelf, I come across...a somewhat journal, a somewhat note book, a somewhat...doodle pad...from a few… Continue

Interesting. Thanks dear one.
You are right, I am not shy about many things, but as you do know about me, my artwork- paintings, and metalwork, etc... and my poetry are rarely shared in public, especially a space like this... it is because I do have this really shy side of me. Yes, I am sure that considering what a strong personality I have and what a ham I can be, it is surprising, but revealing my deepest thoughts and parts of my soul is something I am growing into... laugh away, but it's true, my love! :D
This does look like a great site, I will!
Are you in Arizona?
I'm in Utah for the time being.
Peace and Blessings!

I'd love to know more about your day to day there. Is that your face showing up in the recent picture? And we hear so little of the doings in U.S. communities - what's the greatest challenge in your Baha'i community at the moment and where did it come from, where are you taking it?
And also of course, I'd love to hear more of what you remember of Tonga, of the Marshall Islands, what your aunties and uncles and cousins do, and what communities do there both in terms of the Faith - what draws people.
See you in the ethers!
I had a singularly artistic uncle until recently, and he was a rare and curious blend, he was our Picasso - if we are to be blended this is a fantastic way to reflect it - of the traditional aboriginal artist, trained and destined to create, and the driven artist as we are wont to think of him or her. Doug was a mix of traditional knowledge and impulse and of the simply creative, cannot but create or die kind of artist. His designs were wonderfully, skillfully traditional and yet he would take for instance Raven, who has only a couple of traditional expressions in painting, and paint a nest full of baby Ravens, all embellished and unmistakably Kwakwaka'wakw, beaks open skyward for food. His vision was at once Kwakwaka'wakw and open.
In our longing for unity, the sameness we seek is so often reflective of a gathering only of that which makes us the same but that shines less without the contrast of our wonderful differences; the sameness we have and will awaken to is so exalted and is set like a gem in the precious metal of our own cultural backgrounds, if we can put fear down and see it.
Well Tucson Elahe, I feel my soapbox forming under my feet and will release you before it shapes up fully. Thanks for being my friend by the way ;~)
