Here's my new Hawaiian word for the week:
Lokahi means oneness and cooperation
The spirit of Aloha brings lokahi - oneness
to all no matter the color or culture.
The spirit of Aloha inspires lokahi - cooperation
because of the feel that we are all Ohana.
The spirit of Aloha is also, of course, the spirit of Christ
which teaches & inspires lokahi because we are, indeed,
Ohana...all one family.
A bit of history: Ohana comes from the highly reverenced word 'oha' which means "joyous affection." It is also a word for the taro root. Ancient Hawaiians used taro as a main source of food and medicine. The word "ohana" signifies that we all come from God...all from the same root.
