Walk in Ala Moana Park

ALOHA !

Go ahead and click on the photos

Slow Down! This isn't the 'mainland.'

Let's walk in Ala Moana Park

before her parking lots are closed

and become staging areas

for APEC security. . .

Nature is so nurturing, welcoming . . .

SAY! is that tree SNEERING at us?

He's a mean drunk!

" Bacchus, n.: A convenient (nature) deity

invented by the ancients

as an excuse for getting drunk. "

 
Ambrose Bierce

 

 " Bacchus hath drowned more men

than Neptune (god of the seas)."

Thomas Fuller

And speaking of seas,

Ala Moana is a beach park.

Outrigger Canoes at Rest

 

Pupukahi i holomua

" Unite to move forward."

 

Each Hawaiian in the canoe

has to pull together on the call

for the canoe to move forward,

quickly forward.

 

 Each canoe has a soul that is awakened

and reawakened

with blessings.

Anyone who talks to their vehicle

 should understand this!

 They all have given names as well

I ka 'olelo no ke ola, i ka 'olelo no ka make.

  " In speech is life, in speech is death."

 

" Imua means “go forward” in Hawaiian.

Most often said with an  exclamation point:

 IMUA !

Red Rovers

These are not Hawaiian Outrigger Canoes.  What?

Ah! Here he is with his head ON.  (At Splendor of China)

" As soon as you trust yourself, 

you will know how to live. "

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,

Faust

Isn't it wonderful

just to walk

aimlessly

in the park

together

like this?

Thanks for being here today!
