Kanaka Thinking: Peace
He po walea, he ao walea i ka la'i. A night enjoyed, a day enjoyed in the calm. Peace brings undisturbed nights and days. Puku'i #917
Blessed are the days when one can enjoy the peace in his or her life. We need to be grateful for the little blessings that mean a lot.
I was educated during the period when speaking the Hawaiian language was discouraged, hula focused on hapa-haole songs and whatever Hawaiian crafts I learned were from gracious Hawaiian women in the summer fun program. At this late stage in my life, I am trying to learn about my culture and how the various experiences create the Hawaiian in me.
