Maui and Creation

I drove by this West Maui mountain for months when I first moved to Lahaina in 2003, never giving it a thought. I still don't know its name. Then one day I was talking to a local small business owner who was active in local historical restoration.

"That's where Polynesians believe the universe was created," he told me.

"Indeed," I said, or something like that.

He smiled. "What does that look like to you?"

Now I smiled. "Well..."

"It looks like a vagina, doesn't it?" he asked.

I told him that yes, it did.

"Makes sense?" he asked.

I never checked out what he'd told me, but what would have been the point?
