Pearl Harbor: My More Recent Memory

Most people recognize the date of December 7th commemorating Pearl Harbor Day when nations engaged one another in conflict 67 years ago. However, my more recent memory of this day is always of greater importance than warring factions remembering their tragedies.

My Pearl Harbor Day memory is 22 years in the making of a magnificent memory. My beautiful son, Evan Loren Dizon, was born on this very day. Twenty-two years ago, I brought forth a child who would make peace a more worthy pursuit than war.

His spiritual name is Kamani T'ah and it translates to "GodMan Who Speaks with Love and Compassion". He gave me this name to call him by before he was born on the night of the full moon which provided enough light for me to wake up as he instructed and write it down in my Journal.

Evan Loren is truly a precious Pearl...

He has grown into a gentle young adult who has taken on great responsibilities and is generous with his kindness. He makes a mother proud to call him her son. He has changed so much in so many unimaginable ways over the years that he often feels like a stranger to me, until our eyes meet and our Spirits soar in common joy and acknowledgement. He is such a treasure.

Evan lends much to the ways of the world that exemplify the evolution of Consciousness toward Peace and Prosperity, Kindness and Compassion, and Strength through the Expression of Gentle Thoughtfulness. He makes my heart heal when I see his Inner Strength and Fortitude. There are many young men of his generation who have lost their way and harshly plod through their lives. Yet Evan Loren does his best to be who he is from the depths of his wonderful nature every moment. I do not have the luxury of spending much time with him these days, but his sister describes his actions and attitudes and it brings me to his side to stand with him in his pleasant presence - even from a distance.

So when you remember Pearl Harbor Day next year...please remind yourself that Kamani T'ah brings the peace of the pearl, the calmness of mind, and the solace of the spirit to shine on this day!
