A L O H A From Honolulu!
You are so nice
I'll kiss you twice
Once in the morning
And one at night.
You are a child
and a sage.
I'll kiss you in youth
And again in old age.
Cloudia Charters
These hulls that danced
on ocean's crest,
Carry the weight
of every test,
In their knots,
legends keep,
Of journeys dared
and fate to meet.
Testament to starry lore,
In every knot, forevermore.
"On that first voyage, we were facing cultural extinction. There was no navigator from our culture left. The Voyaging Society looked beyond Polynesia to find a traditional navigator to guide Hōkūle‘a: Mau Piailug, a navigator from a small island called Satawal, in Micronesia. He agreed to come to Hawai‘i and guide Hōkūle‘a to Tahiti. Without him, our voyaging would never have taken place. Mau was the only traditional navigator who was willing and able to reach beyond his culture to ours."
The heart of a father is
the masterpiece of nature.

Trees give peace to the soul.

For small creatures such as we
the vastness is bearable
only through love.
