ALOHA

Imagine a place where the people have such an innate appreciation for life's simple blessings that they create a word that exemplifies their very way of life.

     

A word that explains how they live.  A word that speaks of pride, respect, family and love.  A word that honors harmonious co-existance, of the land, the sea, the heavens.

 

A word that is readily shared.  Sometimes a warm welcome, sometimes a fond farewell, sometimes a state of mind.  A word of caring.

 

Every nation, place and people should have such a word.  It would be a better world.  Or maybe, for now, we can just borrow Hawaii's.

 

Aloha.
