aloha & welcome 2006.09.28
Posted by Hakuna in uncategorized.add a comment
allow me to acknowledge that i know there are millions of blogs out there and if you are here reading this, i am sincerely honored. it is my hope to present my thoughts & reflections on my life’s journey through this site.
my first purpose is simply to give me a place to reflect. my second hope is that because i have a tendency to see things from my own limited and narrow perspective, this becomes a place where you (thorough your comments) will help me “see” what i am missing but also share in what i am learning. lastly, the web has some incredible content and when i come across something worth sharing (entertaining or insightful), i will post it here for you.
so, whether you just visit once or return often, i hope you are blessed.
peace,
hakuna
aloha
alo = presence
hâ = (divine) breath
More than a word of greeting or farewell, it is a blessing. It is only
to be used with sincerity: “‘Aloha’ could not be thoughtlessly or
indiscriminately spoken, for it carried its own power. No Hawaiian
could greet another with ‘Aloha’ unless he felt it in his own heart.
If he felt anger or hate in his heart, he had to cleanse himself
before he said ‘Aloha’.” ~Queen Lili`uokalani
