One day a few years ago, I was riding my motorcycle along the Leeward coast, far outside of Honolulu. this is where the mountans draw close to the shore, where ancestral valleys chant ancient songs, and a place where many Hawaiians live; a place where Hawaii lives. I saw an old woman walking down the road with her dog. I imagined that she lived a simple life without much money- like Aunty in my novel- but I knew that hers was a rich life, a full life amidst struggle and beauty. That day I knew to stop worrying so much. Life really is simple if we allow it to be. Subsistance is truly abundance. Today I share the hula with you. It speaks of my first Hawaii home in Kona. Though my Hawaiian is very weak, when the men dance I can see and smell places of my past. Places dear. I want to share my treasures with you!
Aloha
Thank you Cloudia for sharing something so special. Aloha.
I loved this, Cloudia. It's even better than the women's hula in some ways because it's less well known out of the islands, I think. Plus, those guys are hot when they dance!! Thanks for the pick-me-up in a long, tiring day.
Great post! Thoroughly enjoyed the video clip and then enjoyed your commenyts about ancestral valleys, ancient songs and an old woman who knew how to live richly! Beautiful!
Too good Cloudia. It really is amazing. Can you adopt me for I want to live in Hawaii :) Just kidding :)
Have a beautiful life.

Thank you for sharing your treasure, Cloudia. A treasure it is!
This video speaks a million words.
And so nice to see manly men being so graceful.
Long live simplicity.
If I leave shame home I will be called Shame-Shame.
:))
I did enjoy seeing the guys dancing, too. They are really good. Very impressive.
Thanks Cloudia !
Good dancers and nice show. I love !
Beautiful hula guys. I want to be the old woman walking with the dog. You can adopt ME, and I mean it! The hula just pulls at the heart, and reminds me of wonderful, calm, and kind Hawaiians. I can smell the plumaria flowers from the trees in Lahaina and hear the ocean always rolling to the beach, even in the crisp cool air of darkness. Your posts lower blood pressure better than any pill. Aloha, DrumMajor
What a lovely things to share .. the hula is so graceful, so eloquent .. as are you! Aloha! xo
Subsistence is truly abundance.
Nothing more that needs be said or reiterated Cloudia,
That is wonderful Cloudia! The men dancing is so graceful and slightly erotic :0
Oh, there voices are heavenly, too!
Wonderful singing and dancing. I loved seeing the men dance, have seen women's hula, but not men; it's equally beautiful! Thanks so much for this and you comment, too!
I try never to dance without a beer in my hand.
twas was fantastic!

Very nice, men!

Thank you, Gran and Denise!
I've always loved the hula. Thanks! This is awesome.
I speak that language!
I wish that fixer boat was for sale and a slip was available for lease/rent.

Thank you for sharing this ALOHA!
