Story Telling: "Once Upon A Time" 

In The Hawaiian Islands ~ There was a young Gecko Moki. Moki was an ordinary gecko in every respect except for one thing. He had the loudest, most obnoxious laugh anyone had ever heard. Moki and his friend "Owl" were constantly getting in trouble for their pranks, mostly because of the after effects of Moki's laughter! 
"This story, like all stories of its kind, takes place a long time ago, 'cause that's the way it is. 'Laughter"... 

The story occurs in the days of the Great Choosing, when every family was to bond with a spirit animal guide to become part of the family's Totem Of Power, Aumakua. A most serious and powerful ceremony takes place in the evenings of early spring's season and Moki was to attend with his family. Moki's parents warned him to behave! They stressed the importance upon him of being serious and not laughing. Not even once, or you will shame our Gecko family.

Moki solemnly agreed not to laugh, tell jokes, or pull any pranks. He would be the model of decorum, as would his partner in crime, "Owl"... They both resolved sincerely to be more serious than the serious, more perfect than the perfect, quieter than the quiet, the best of the best???

"Night came and the conch shells 🐚 blew to call the people and the animals together. All of the Ali'i; Noble Family were present, including the greatest king of all the islands. The most powerful Kahuna of anywhere presided over this majestic event in service to the king of kings (Fairy Kingdom), in which families came forward in accordance with their hearts (Spirits Calling) they pronounce their power animals for "life"! There guide, their spirits Kin, Friendship & Teacher. 
Pomp and circumstance was preserved until Moki noticed the fattest man he had ever seen waddling forward to choose his family's power animal. 'Oh, not us,' he thought. 'You would crush us without noticing.' That image made Moki think of a joke about a great big fat Bufo Toad. The more he tried not to think about it, the more it occupied his mind, until he told Owl, and suddenly the two of them could contain themselves no longer and they burst out laughing! The ceremony came to a screeching halt. Silence reigned, except for their laughter. Soon they noticed that the drum had even stopped, chanting was suspended and trance was broken, with all eyes now glaring at them. Moki's laugh was the loudest and it was upon Moki that the Kahuna focused his rage. "'The Geckos family has dishonoured this solemn ceremony. They are to leave immediately! They will not be chosen by anyone.' The Kahuna folded his massive arms across his chest and towered above the geckos. Moki turned and ran into the jungle, least he be scorched by his parents' rage. He wanted to die that night, right there in the jungle he was so embarrassed".

"Moki ran and ran and ran! He ran so hard and so far that he had no idea where he was.? He just wanted any creature to jump out of the jungle and eat him. He was so mortified, he knew he could never go back. He could never face his parents or the other animals. He could never face the Kahuna again or any of the Ali'i"! 
He might as well be dead! 
"When he was so breathless and exhausted that he thought he would die right there on the trail, he suddenly heard a noise that did not belong to the jungle. 'What's that?' He wondered. He listened closer and discovered a young human girl, crying. He followed the sound of her sobs into a clearing, finding her sitting alone, tears pouring down her cheeks.

"'Young girl,' Moki said. 'What's wrong, and why are you out here alone? It's dangerous in the jungle at night.' The little girl stood as tall as she could, acting as proud as a tearful young one can. I'm the daughter of the Great Chief, she said! Daddy wouldn't let me come to the ceremony. He said I was too young and made me stay home. "I was going to show him" and come all by myself... But I'm lost and I can't find it and now I don't know where I am. Neither do I thought Moki, who decided not to say that, since he had to be brave for the princess. Don't worry princess, he said. I just came from the ceremony and I'lol figure out a way to get you back there :) 

Just as Moki took hand to lead her back the way he had come, a dark shadow fell upon them! He looked up to see a massive Bufo Toad, weighing at least four hundred pounds.... Sorrs and warts covered his skin, which oozed a slimy looking substance. Worstening this moment the toad stank like nothing ever to be smelled by the living. His eyes were glowing coals inside a malevolent face. "Uh, hello, Mr. Bufo Toad,' Moki said. 'This is the great chief's daughter, and I'm taking her back to the ceremony. You could come, too, he stammered. No! Said Bufo. I think I'll stay here and take you both to dinner! You'll be the appetizer and she can be the main course! But what would the great chief say about that? Moki pleaded. You don't want to anger the great chief! I will anger anyone I please, shouted the great Bufo, who was staring into Moki's eyes, making him feel drowsy. Moki's will power was draining away. He found himself slowly walking towards the toads gaping mouth. 
Moki, no cried the princess. Don't look him in the eyes. He's got you under his spell. Fight it! Fight it, for my sake! Hard as he tried, Moki  couldn't break free. The toads eyes bore down upon his, forcing his will upon Moki similar to the great kahuna that stood looking baring down upon him. 
He was dangerously close to that gaping hole of a mouth, one bite away from annihilation, when suddenly he remembered the joke that had gotten him cast out of the choosing ceremony! Then he started to laugh uncontrollably! This terribly ruffled Bufo, since the first course wasn't supposed to break out laughing!

"What's this about?" Demanded Bufo! 

Heh, said Moki. Do you know where a four-hundred pound Bufo Toad sleeps at night?

Where? Said Bufo, puzzled. 
Anywhere it wants, answered Moki still giggling! Bufo paused for a moment to consider this. Then slowly he began to laugh, his huge body shaking and quivering with each guffawl. Before long, the toad was laughing uncontrollably also! You're okay Moki, said the toad. And I wasn't really going to eat you. Like heck you weren't, thought Moki, but he wisely kept this to himself. I am a really nice guy said Bufo. With a skin problem laughing toad. Help me take the princess back to the ceremony said Moki and there'll be lots to eat there. Bufo agreed, and together they set off across the jungle, taking short cuts that the toad knew! When they reached the ceremonial grounds, they were the strangest sight of all the evenings happenings! A little girl, a huge giant toad and a laughing Gecko, for Moki had continued to tell jokes to keep the toad in the best of moods... 

STOP! Cried the guards, with their spears ready! "No"! Called the princess! Let them pass! The Bufo toad is my friend and the gecko saved my life! The guards recognized the princess and bowed before her. When her father saw her, he demanded to know how she had gotten there? Upon hearing the story, he welcomed Bufoto chow down in the feast and he had more to say to Moki. "Little Gecko, he said; You have restored the honer of the gecko family. Though! All the power animals honers have been chosen, and only one now remains. To be the power animal for all the Islands! That, I give to the Gecko Family! From now forward, you are the Aumakua for these islands upon which we live. Moki was now full with the love of his entire relations, his family and free to be a dreamer.

Moki's story teaches the whole family the importance of not being to ridged, stricked or uptight and how important it is to allow space for everyone to simply be as they are, comfortable to be themselves. 

My Native Hawaiian Family explains; 

It is said, spoken that the mind is only useful for making up a story after the fact to explain what happened. Trust your gut, it is said! Not the mind! We participate in the formation of intricate patterns of a great happening. Trust this one great happening in the moment always and remain in this presence with all its relations. Without anyone actually directing us or telling us what to do, or what patterns to make; "It Just Happens"! Creation... 

A quote inspired by the Mexican Jumping Beans! Mexican jumping beans are actually seed pods from the Sebastiania pavoniana shrub, infected with the larvae of a small moth. The larvae cause the bean to jump by hitting the inside of the pod with their heads as they curl and uncurl. 
The pods in clusters are seen to form intricate patterns among them without the moth insects inside the pods ever being able to see outside of them! 
Listening and trusting the sounds of creation forms a Sacred Geometry.
