Hawai'i 'Opio Making a Mark

Congratulations to Pedro Ka'awaloa for making a mark in the performing arts world of local theater and music. This Hilo High Schol grad attended Harvard and is currently working in the local theater circles in Hilo and Volcano.

Talented, he is a wonderful piano player, arranger of music and also a great conductor. In working with group, he is knowledgeable yet humble. He is a good teacher. I wish him the best of things to come into his life.

Ho'omau e Pedro me kou hana maika'i!!

Protocol

Abiding by societal protocol, though confining at time, can provide a sense of freedom. Knowing where one belongs. Knowing one's kuleana. Knowing who to turn to for counsel, and knowing who to instruct. Knowing the boundaries.

And knowing the freedom within the framework of community and society.

It is a seeming oxymoron but nonetheless a truism.
