“You cannot teach Aloha- it is a feeling that comes from deep within you, from the heart. Hawaiians are born with this Aloha, not the word ‘Aloha’, but the spiritual feeling or the mana that makes this word so special to us. It’s like going up to someone and greeting them with no exchange of words, just holding each other and letting your mana say it for you. This is the true spirit of Aloha.”
HE’ AI KULI KE ALOHA MAI NA KUPUNA MAI:
Love has had a deaf way of it’s own since the days of the ancestors.
-Ken Kamakea, Hawaiian Health Practitioner
