 June 11, 1877, Kapiolani Park was 
dedicated as the first public park in Hawaii.
 The park boasts of open green space,

laugh at the odds,
and live our lives so well
that Death will
tremble to take us. "

" The moment one gives 
close attention to 
any thing, even a blade of grass 
it becomes a mysterious, 
awesome, indescribably 
magnificent world 
in itself. "
