Puamana

A L O H A!



"People are like stained-glass windows.
  They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
 but when the darkness sets in 
their true beauty is revealed
 only if there is light from within."

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross








"The universe is like a safe to which there is a combination.
  But the combination is locked up 
in the safe."

Peter De Vries






"A great part of life consists in contemplating 
what we cannot cure."

Robert Louis Stevenson

    I learned the hula to this song while taking a course in hula at UH-summer session. Memories!

    I've always found the Hula a hypnotic dance i don't know why. I don't think the safe with the key to universe will ever be opened because you never know what creepy crawly will escape :-).

    But nothing can be cured without first contemplating it to see if it needs curing.

    Lovely video. I am always delighted when the grass skirts are missing and we see a unstereotyped performance from Hawaii. That matriarch is the best gem of all!

    Thanks for this!

    Most appropriate as I am starting dancing classes in a couple of weeks! That is if I can manage to bend, anyway it is only modern ballroom so I don't need a hula skirt. Every Blessing.
