Description
As I walked along Punalu'u Black Sand Beach, I spotted this little place. It was part of someone's homestead, and of course, I respected their boundaries. But I was taken by this stone, the way it was just THERE. I don't know what it says, (though I'm sure if Errol knows, he'll tell me), but it seemed important, and very personal.

fascinating, both your find and Ronnies link. 'No wind shall push me over', I like that quote.

Wonderful capture Marilyn - the stone with carvings on it looks almost as if it is fosilised wood!

My Hawaiian is very rusty... but with a lot of twisting and pondering and reaching for what little comes back to me - and I mean Little! - I think it says something like "standing in the wind" or something similar. I love the rooting coconut! What a treat. But anyway, basically, the music of the spirit is sung in the words and give poetic justice to someone who loved where he was.

'A'ali'i is a Native hardwood shrubs or trees, more or less sticky at branch tips; leaves narrow, flowers small; fruit a yellow, red, or brown papery capsule with two to four wings. Fruit clusters are made into leis with their own leaves or ferns and worn in the hair. Ku means stand. Makani means wind. Put it all together...... ʻaʻaliʻi kū makani...means....ʻaʻaliʻi standing [in] wind. Thanks for showing as I find it most interesting... Maika'i... Aloha
