‘Auhea wale ana ‘oe e ku‘u wahi keiki, lā ‘eā‘eā? Huli maila ke ao hulihuli ā ke ao kama‘āina i poina‘ole i ke ola kūpuna. Inā kama‘āina ke ola kūpuna, kama‘āina i ke ola keiki, i ke ola kama‘āina, i ke ola kūpuna, i ke ola ‘ohana ā i ke ola Hawai‘i nei. I laila ho‘i lā ‘oe eia lā!
Where are you my dear child, tra la la? Seek change but remember to never forget the elders’ ways. If you’re familiar with the old ways, you’re a child of your elders empowered with traditions. You are there, indeed!
Change is here! Accept change when you’re ready! Don’t change traditions, enhance traditions with changes. Seek and know simplistic transformation, child knowledge!
