THE FIRST FIVE
CONTEMPORARY STYLE NON-DANCING HULA LAMPS BELOW HAVE BEEN NAMED
"THE ALOHA
SERIES"
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. The Aloha Spirit is the coordination
of the true self's mind, heart and soul, manifested by thinking
good thoughts, emoting good feelings, and sharing goodness with
others.
The letters
of ALOHA help to remind us of their meaning:
A - AKAHAI: Akahai, meaning kindness to be expressed
with tenderness
L - LOKAHI: Lôkahi, meaning unity, to be expressed
with harmony
O - OLUOLU: `Olu`olu, meaning agreeable, to be expressed
with pleasantness
H
- HA'AHA'A: Ha`aha`a, meaning humility, to be expressed
with modesty
A - AHONUI: Ahonui, meaning patience, to be expressed
with perseverance
