the other night, at dear friend collette's house, we suddenly heard wailing outside.
we sat, perplexed, for a moment
then, i jumped up and realized it must be a hawaiian mourning ritual for the beloved community member who passed away the night before
we ran to the window to see
and that's when we realized that "the whale rider" was playing quietly on a roommate's laptop, and that's where the wailing came from.
i felt a little silly.
but i'm so glad i live in a place where i actually thought that could happen.
