“ The world is so empty

 if one thinks only of 

mountains, rivers & 

cities; 

but to know someone 

who thinks & feels 

with us, & 

who, though distant, 

is close to us 

in spirit, 

this makes the earth 

for us 

an 

inhabited garden.” 

                       Goethe

Mastering the Art of Living

A  L  O  H  A !

" If you see no reason
 for giving thanks, 
the fault lies 
in yourself. "
                   Native American Proverb, 
                                    Minquas, Susquehannock

"Beware of the half truth. 
You may have 
gotten hold of 
the wrong half." 
                        Unknown

" To live lightheartedly 
but not recklessly; 
to be gay 
without being boisterous; 
to be courageous 
without being bold; 
to show trust 
and cheerful resignation 
without fatalism -
- this is the art of living. "

Ahupua`a Honolulu Sign

A L O H A !

Ahupua`a are

 the traditional ancient 

divisions of 

our Hawaiian isles.

This sign represents the 

pile of stones marking the 

boundary. Sacrifice of pig

(Pua`a) were placed

atop the pile.

Each Ahupua`a district

was like a slice of pie:

Thin inland atop the mountain,

broadening out like a pie slice

to encompass a stretch of coast.

The people of each Ahupua`a

enjoyed the bounty of

Mountain, Plains, and the Beach

with it's fish and sea vegetables.
