"Light of Lawai” photograph notecard. As the people of Hawaii opened their hearts, the universe revealed its wonders. This was a miraculous moment: light and hearts as one, captured on film as 250 people in gratitude and peace walked along a hillside in a valley named Lawai. On June 11, 2006, during the Pilgrimage for Compassion at the 88 shrines of Lawai at 3:49 pm on the beginning and end of the walk's pathway, two beams of light poured from above.
