Spiral proclaiming itself!
Have you noticed it's infiltation of the culture?
"He drew a circle that shut me out --
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in."
Edwin Markham
The Hawaiians of old
never said "Aloha"
by itself.
"Aloha Kakou - Love inclusive to all of us.
How are we all doing?"
"Aloha Kakahiaka Kakou -
How are we all
this morning?"
"Aloha Kaua - Aloha to we two;
how are we doing?"
Aloha is always inclusive and comprehensive.

It is said that the Hawaiians of old
recognized a kindred spirit
in Jesus' words.
Thus adopting a Jewish brother
and their own religion
in "becoming"
Christian.
They forgave the gruff
and logical missionaries
who radiated condescension
and constraint.
The Hawaiians
in Christian patience
waited for them
to actually live
the religion they
professed.
Warmth & Inclusion to YOU, my friend.
How are WE today?

ReplyDeleteHobo, you can't sit with a handsome man for an hour. Either his beeper goes off and he has to get back to the hospital OR he's got an audition in half an hour, OR his beeper goes off and it's his wife. ;-)

The last paragraph is echoed in the Indian/British relationship....they come here and try to "convert," and the humility the British speak of is inherent here in the culture....so the natives sit quietly and wait for the qualities the British speak of to show....
