Aloha is being a part of all, and all being a part of me. When there is pain - it is my pain. When there is joy - it is also mine.

I respect all that is as part of the Creator and part of me. I will not willfully harm anyone or anything. When food is needed I

will take only my need and explain why it is being taken. The earth, the sky, the sea are mine to care for, to cherish and to

protect. This is Hawaiian - this is Aloha!

A big thanks to all of you folks who came out to see the movie about our

beloved Queen ! Even malihinis know that, when the local people, especially

Hawaiians, ponder the life of our last Queen, emotions run high. It was an

emotional evening and you folks were brave enough and courageous enough

to weather it out with us. You folks showed great respect by not leaving when

the movie credits started. I for one always consider the credits DEPRESSING

for any and all movies. We deeply appreciated your insightful comments about

this lovely island, the only Hawaiian Nation that most of us ever think about

seriously.

Please, come back to the Kapa'a Neighborhood Center for our

next movie "The Conquest of Hawai'i". This movie has the

interesting historical perspective that Hawai'i was doomed from

the time that the first tectonic plate ruptured ! But let's see what

you think about it at our discussion after the movie. Please recall

that we welcome all and every observation that you yourself feel

is worth noting. Please try to participate by vocalizing your

reactions to our meeting of minds and hearts. Thank you for

keeping an eye out for the date and time.
