Then rose Hawai'i from the space of time Arose from inside, from the inner darkness, Then appeared the island, the land The row of the islands of Nu'umea... From: Change We Must by Nana Veary  | ||

The Hawaiian people know that one energy unites them all, the ocean, the birds, the plants, the rocks and the people... There is a reverence for life.  | |||

Aloha exists beyond motives, desires or opinions. It is sustained by love, fortified by compassion, and it expands in power and beauty as we give it away to all who come into our lives. Hawaiian saying  | |||

Like seeds on the wind, let your love find a home in every soul you meet. Hawaiian saying  | |||

Above, above All birds in air Below, below All earth's flowers Inland, inland All forest trees Seaward, seaward All ocean fish Sing out and say Again the refrain Behold this lovely world. Mary Kawena Pukui  | |||

To me the concept of the "Beloved" conveys not just a , nice, cozy, warm relationship with God, but one that is joyous, uplifting and exhilirating, because it is a recognition of who I am. Nana Veary  | |||

Unconditional love radiating as pure joy. A person is so filled with love and the joy of living that he or she naturally repels anything negative. Nana Veary  | |||

`A`ohe lokomaika`i i nele i ke pâna`i. No kind deed has ever lacked its reward. Hawaiians are known for their generosity, hospitality and warm sharing. This giving nature is grounded in the principle of reciprocity. When given, the Hawaiian will give back in equal measure or more, be it a gift or a smile. http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Shores/6794/olelono1.html  | ||||

Mohala i ka wai ka maka o ka pua. Unfolded by the water are the faces of the flowers. Flowers thrive where there is water, as thriving people are found where living conditions are good.  | ||||
|
Aloha mai no, aloha aku; o ka huhu ka mea e ola `ole ai. When love is given, love should be returned; anger is the thing that gives no life. Hawaiians understood the transforming power of aloha. Love begets love, and enmity produces enmity. Anger only serves to hurt the angry, causing emotional upset, which impairs mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.  | ||||
