Tarot Contemplation – Eight of Wands

You’ve set things into motion and placed your best foot forward … and now, you’re in waiting mode.  ‘Aole no … leave it alone, else things might backfire on you.  Others are weighing factors involving you.  Remain patient.  Nothing good comes about through the use of force, so refrain from being demanding.  In all honesty, this is a moment of finesse because things around you are in flux.  If you find you’re agitated because you’re waiting for an outcome, place your heart elsewhere … You have the opportunity to examine the reasons being still and patient presents difficulty for you in this moment.  Breathe and accept the way “it” is right now. Hō’omanāo, he loli ʻole, ke ʻalo aʻe, he paīo kōho.  Remember:  change is inevitable; struggle is an option.

JOIN ME for 30 Kulāiwi Hawaiian Language Lessons shared by Kamehameha Schools Distance Learning.

E ALA E … AWAKEN / ARISE … Back in August 2005, Kumu Tweety challenged me to start my days with this ‘oli (chant) as I trained with her on Mau’i.  I pass on this challenge to my Mainland USA students of Halau ‘Aha Hui Lanakila.  For me, learning and passing on the lessons in Hawai’ian challenges me to dig deeper and reach higher!

A’O AKU, A’O MAI … TEACH, LEARN …”I teach so I can learn.”

JOIN ME AS I REVIEW 24 HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE LESSONS sponsored years ago by KAMEHAMEHA SCHOOLS DISTANCE LEARNING.  These pre-recorded sessions are lessons from Kulāiwi, an educational show back in the 90’s produced and taught by Ekela Kaniaupio-Crozier and sponsored by Kamehameha Schools Bishop Estate in collaboration with the Department of Education of Hawai’i.
