In Touch With Tanja Barnes Aloha Nui Loa and Happy Solstice! The spirit of "aloha" is the coordination of mind and heart within each person. It brings each person to the Self. Each person must think and emote good feelings to others. In the contemplation and presence of the life force "aloha", the following "unuhi laula loa" (free translation) may be used:kahai - meaning kindness to be expressed with tenderness; These are traits of character that express the charm, warmth and sincerity of Hawaii's people. It was the working philosophy of native Hawaiians and was presented as a gift to the people of Hawaii. Aloha is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation. Aloha means mutual regard and affection and extends warmth in caring with no obligation in return. Aloha is the essence of relationships in which each person is important to every other person for collective existence. Aloha means to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable. Please join me and spread some ALOHA throughout the world! Hauoli Makahiki Hou and all the best in 2004.
