Hiki paha i kēlā me kēia mea pōpoki nona ke hoʻomanaʻo i nā manawa ke lele a maʻalahi a pololei hoʻi kā lākou pipi. A laila, lawe ke aikāne huelo i kahi kūlana ʻoluʻolu nona a hoʻomaka ʻo ia e kaomi me ka lewa me kāna mau wāwae. ʻO nā neʻe o ka holoholona e like me ka massage a me ka hehi mau ʻana.
I ka mua, hele ke kaomi i kahi mele lohi, me he mea lā ke nānā nei ka holoholona i ke kūlana a laila e hoʻāʻo ana e ana i ka manawa. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, lawe nā neʻe i kahi ʻano ʻoi aku ka ikaika, a ma hope o kekahi manawa ua ʻike mua ka mea nona iā ia iho ka lihi holoʻokoʻa o nā māiʻuʻu o kāna holoholona, e like me nā nila nui, ʻeli i ka ʻili. He wānana nō e pau ka massage ma laila, e hoʻonāukiuki loa ana, ʻoiai ʻaʻole mākaukau nā kānaka āpau e hoʻomanawanui i kēia. I kēlā manawa, hoʻouna ʻia ka pōpoki i ka papahele ma lalo o nā ʻuā huhū, ʻo ka mea ʻoi loa, hemo wale ia mai nā lima. ʻO ka mea hoʻomākeʻaka i kēia kūlana ʻo ka popoki ponoʻī ke huhū a pūʻiwa loa i nā ʻano hana. A pono i ka mea nona ka wehe ʻana i ka lauoho o ka pōpoki mai kona mau kuli, ʻoiai ke ʻike nei i kahi wai i kona lole i waiho ʻia e nā holoholona.
He aha ke kumu o ka mīkini ʻike ʻole o ka "hehi ʻana o ka pōpoki"?
Malia paha, ʻaʻole ia he mea hūnā i kekahi e mau ana nā pōpoki i mau keiki i kekahi mau manawa i ko lākou ola. ʻO ka mea mua, pili kēia me nā kūlana o ko lākou ola, i kekahi manawa i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me "lani", no ka mea he manawa kupanaha a paʻakikī loa lākou e hiamoe me ka ʻole o nā palena manawa, mai hopohopo e pili ana i kā lākou mea e ʻai ai. I loko o ia kūlana, ʻike ʻia ka mea nona ka hana a kahi kahu mākū mākū, mālama, hāʻawi i kahi e noho ai, nā meaʻai a me nā hoʻokipa. No laila, i kēlā me kēia manawa ke noho ke kanaka ma ka sofa, hehi nā pōpoki. Manaʻo ʻia he ʻike nā holoholona i nā manawa ke paʻi ʻia e like me ka palu ʻana.
Hana pinepine ʻia ka pōpoki, me ke kumu ʻole, hoʻomaka i ka hehi i kahi wahi, me he mea lā e hele ana. Hoʻokumu kēia hanana i ka wā kamaliʻi o ka holoholona. Ma ke kaomi pānaʻi ʻana me kāna mau paws, hoʻopuka hou ka pōpoki i nā neʻe o ka rhythmic. ʻO kekahi manawa me he mea lā ʻaʻole ia e ana wale ana i ka manawa, e hoʻonui mau nei i ka wikiwiki. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kū maʻamau i ka hoʻomāinoino ke pili ʻia nā maiuu a ʻoi aku ka pinepine o ka neʻe ʻana. Hoʻopili nā mākia i ka lole a ʻeha loa ka ʻeha.
No ke aha e hahi ai nā pōpoki me kā lākou mau wāwae?
He nui, he mau pōpoki hānai i ka home, ua nānā pinepine i ka hānai ʻana o nā keiki keiki, ka omo waiū. I kēia manawa, hana lākou i nā neʻe like, kaomi ʻana i nā kukui ma ka ʻōpū o ka makuahine. No laila, hoʻonāukiuki nā keiki keiki i ke kahe o ka waiū. Hoʻokomo pinepine ʻia kēia hana āpau me nā purrs nui.
Ke loaʻa i ka mea nona ka manawa kūpono e noho ʻoluʻolu i ka noho, ʻike ka pōpoki i kēia me he manawa hoʻomaha a me ka mākaukau e lawe i kāna pipi i ka umauma. ʻOiai e hana ana i ka lomilomi, manaʻo ka pōpoki i ka pale loa. A i kēia manawa e noho nei ʻo ia ma kona mau kuli, e kuha ana i ka wai me ka pīpī, e hōʻike ana i kona mahalo a hilinaʻi hoʻi. ʻO kēia ke kumu e pūʻiwa ai ka pōpoki ke hoʻokele ʻia ʻo ia, no ka mea hōʻike wale ʻo ia i kona mau manaʻo. Huhū nui ke kanaka i ka holoholona ke kipaku iā ia iā ia iho iā ia iho i kēlā mau manawa. Mai ka wā liʻiliʻi kamaliʻi, ʻaʻohe mea i hoʻokuke i ka holoholona ʻilihune.
I kekahi manawa hiki i ka pōpoki ke hoʻomaka e hehi ma mua o ka hiamoe. ʻO ka neʻe ʻana i loko o ia mau hihia aia i loko o kahi pōʻai a ʻano like me ka pūnana. I kēia manawa hiamoe nā pōpoki ma nā kapeta mahana a me nā kapa moe, akā ʻaʻole naʻe pēlā ka hihia, ʻaʻole mau lākou ma ka home. E moe pinepine lākou i ka mauʻu, kahi a nā holoholona e hehi ai no ka hōʻoluʻolu nui aʻe.
Hiki ke hoʻoholo ʻia hoʻokahi hopena, ʻo ia ʻano neʻe ʻana o nā pōpoki he ʻano instinctive.
