For the Love of Hawaii by Linda Lorenzo

Today has officially been dubbed "Hawaii Day"..
(for me that is everyday)
In honor of this day, here is a collection of prose, poetry and philosophy
~ This note is in Joyous Dedication to the Energy, Mysticism and Beauty that is the Spirit of Hawaii ~
~ Mark Twain on Hawaii ~
"For me its balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun; the pulsing of its surf is in my ear; I can see its garlanded crags, its leaping cascades, its plumy palms drowsing by the shore, its remote summits floating like islands above the cloud-rack; I can feel the spirit of its woody solitudes, I hear the plashing of the brooks; in my nostrils still lives the breath of flowers that perished twenty years ago."
"This is the most magnificent, balmy atmosphere in the world--ought to take dead men out of grave."
"A Paradise for All Sorts"
"I spent several months in the Sandwich Islands, six years ago, and, if I could have my way about it, I would go back there and remain the rest of my days. It is paradise for an indolent man. If a man is rich he can live expensively, and his grandeur will be respected as in other parts of the earth; if he is poor he can herd with the natives, and live on next to nothing; he can sun himself all day long under the palm trees, and be no more troubled by his conscience than a butterfly would.
When you are in that blessed retreat, you are safe from the turmoil of life; you drowse your days away in a long deep dream of peace; the past is a forgotten thing, the present is heaven, the future you leave to take care of itself. You are in the center of the Pacific Ocean; you are two thousand miles from any continent; you are millions of miles from the world; as far as you can see, on any hand, the crested billows wall the horizon, and beyond this barrier the wide universe is but a foreign land to yo u, and barren of interest."
~ The 7 Principles of Huna Philosophy ~
ike ~ The world is what you think it is
kala ~ There are no limits, forgive and release
makia ~ Energy flows where attention goes
manawa ~ Now is the moment of power
aloha ~ To love is to be happy with
mana ~ All power comes from within
pono ~ Effectiveness is the measure of truth
~ Ho'oponopono ~
"I love you, please forgive me, I'm sorry, Thank you"
