Ke Ao Polohiwa A Kanaloa

We are in that wonderful season of Lono where the environment is alive with wind, rain, gushing streams and crashing seas. It is great to see and experience that around us.

Ke Ao Polohiwa A Kanaloa is also upon us. Also known by others as the winter solstice and is the time when the sun reaches it furthest travel toward the south and will begin is journey back toward the north. The days will begin to get longer as the sun moves toward Ka Piko O Wakea. Whether you mark the date on Wednesday December 21 or Thursday December 22, go out and greet the sun in the morning. When the first edge of the sun reaches the horizon until the bottom edge clears the horizon, join us in welcoming Kanehoalani. E Kanehoalani e, e Kanehoalani e, aloha kaua.
