Mai ke kamaliʻi mai, ua moe mākou i ke aliʻi ma luna o ka lio keʻokeʻo. ʻO ia ka nani loa, ke kūlana, ka lokomaikaʻi, ke akahai, ka pono, ka pono ...ʻAʻole naʻe kēlā me kēlā gula a pau. He mea kūponoʻole ke ola a loaʻa pinepine nā mea i manaʻoʻoleʻia. ʻO ka hopena o ka hopena e kali ana i ka manawa e paʻi ke aloha o ko mākou aloha, he wahine kāna, a he mau keiki paha ... A maopopo iā mākou he hikiʻole,ʻaʻole maikaʻi, akāʻaʻole hiki iāʻoe ke kauoha i kou naʻau. A pehea pehea e noho ai maʻaneʻi? Pehea e hōʻoki ai i ke aloha i ka wahine i mareʻia ināʻaʻole he manaʻo nui e luku i konaʻohana?
He naʻau, he naʻauʻoluʻolu ... He nui nā kānaka loea a me nā kānaka pono i ka honua, akāʻaʻole, ua koho paha iā ia, ua mare ... A he mea nui loaʻo ia, a maikaʻi hoʻiʻaʻole e hui pū ...ʻOʻoe e uē, kaumaha,ʻaʻole ka meaʻaʻoleʻo ia makemake eʻike i nā mea'ē aʻe,ʻo ia wale nō ka mea i loaʻa iā ia kona mau manaʻo a me kona mau manaʻo ... Aʻo ka mea a puni, he'ōlelo ia e hoʻolei iā ia mai kona poʻo ... Akā, pehea e ho'ōki ai i ke aloha a hoʻopoina i kahi kanaka i ka hohonu o konaʻuhane e manaʻo mau ana e hui pūʻoe, e liloʻoe i hoʻokahi no ia. ʻOiai, ua maopopo iāʻoe he mau mea kūpono loa paha,ʻaʻole paha, akāʻo nā'ōlelo aloha i alohaʻia e haʻaleleʻo ia, akā i ka manawa e ola ai ka wahine, e ulu ana nā keiki, a pēlā aku. A ke hele nei ka manawa aʻaʻole he mea hou. Ma kekahi manawa, maopopo iāʻoe ua pau nā mea a pau i ka pilina me ka hikiʻole i ka hiki mai, no ka mea,ʻaʻohe mea e loli.
"Makemake au e haʻalele i ke aloha"
No ka hana mua i ka haʻiʻana i ka pilina, he mea nui e lawe i ka makemake a pau i loko o ka lima a nānā pono i ke kūlana. E noʻonoʻo inā i ka manawa pōkole, me ka meaʻoi loa o ka lanakila noʻoe, e haʻalele anaʻo ia a pili wale nō iāʻoe. Akā, hiki iāʻoe ke hilinaʻi iā ia i kēlā manawa? Ma hope o nā mea a pau, i kēia wā ua liloʻoe i wahine mare no ia, e like me ia,ʻo ke kaikamahine āna i hanaʻino aku ai iāʻoe. ʻAʻole aneiʻoe eʻike hou i ka manaʻo o ka hopena hoʻokahi? Ma hope o nā mea a pau, inā i hoʻololi kekahi kanaka i hoʻokahi manawa, pehea ka mea e pale ai iā ia e hoʻololi hou i ka manawaʻelua? Malia paha i kēia manawa ke ikaika loa o kou mau manaʻo no ka meaʻaʻole iaʻoe aʻaʻole pahaʻoe e makemake i kēlāʻano "pōmaikaʻi"?
ʻO ka manaʻo he nui nā kāne a he wahine, a laila, e loli aʻaʻole e haʻalele i kaʻohana. Ke hāʻule nei ke kanaka i ke aloha, e like me kā lākou e'ōlelo nei, no ka mea maoli a haʻalele i kaʻelemakule. Akā, aneane hikiʻole keʻoki loaʻia ka pilina ma mua,ʻoiaʻiʻo, inā he mau keiki i loko o ka maleʻana a he mea paha, e kamaʻilioʻo ia me kāna wahine i kēlā manawa i kēia manawa. Eʻoluʻoluʻoe i kēlā pilina, hiki iāʻoe ke kapa iā lākou he meaʻoliʻoli? ʻAʻole paha. I kēia hihia, e pono ke hāʻule i ke aloha,ʻoiai inā hiki iā ia ke hoʻohui i ka hopena me ia. ʻO ka pōʻino o nā mea'ē aʻe,ʻaʻole ia ke kumu maikaʻi loa no kaʻohana hauʻoli.
Akā, hiki nō paha i kāu ola ma hope o nā hiʻohiʻona o ke ola o kāu mea aloha. E noʻonoʻo,ʻo lākou iho, he meaʻino ia iā ia? Heʻelua wahine āna i makemake maoli ai, akā,ʻo ia wale nō ka mea hoʻopunipuni me ka hopena, aʻo ka mea'ē aʻe e loaʻa i kēia - no ia, e manaʻoʻiʻo mai iaʻu, nā mea liʻiliʻi o ke ola. Akā,ʻo ka mea kaumaha,ʻaʻoleʻoe e loaʻa i ka manawa e nānā ai i keʻano o ka'ōpio, nani ka nani aʻaʻole loaʻoe e nele, no ka mea, he aha ka "ʻaeto" e hikiʻole ai iā ia keʻike i kekahi mea'ōpio? A koe wale nō koe i ke koena o kou ola ...ʻAʻole ka manaʻo maikaʻi loa,ʻo ia?
He mea nui ka hoʻohemoʻana i nā pili pōʻino. ʻAʻole he mea kupanaha e'ōlelo lākouʻaʻole hiki iāʻoe ke kūkulu i ka hauʻoli i ka hauʻoli o kekahi. A ma hope o nā mea a pau
