Just yesterday I stopped at the three `ohi`a lehua trees in Malama Ki,
to oli aloha for aunty Lehua, and thought on Brother Frank
Kaimiikepono Pao. As we left to descend, a white-phase 'io flew down
and perched above us. I felt it was a kino kupuna, lole oloa, me he
kahuna la.
Aue this is too hard -- uhae ana ka naau i ke aloha ino.
