 Alo-ha
"And wherever [the Native Hawaiian] went he said Aloha, in
meeting or in parting. Aloha was a recognition of life in another.
If there was life, there was mana, goodness and wisdom, and if
there was goodness and wisdom there was also god-quality.
One had to recognize the god of life in another before saying
Aloha, but this was easy. Life was everywhere, in the trees, the
flowers, the ocean, the fish, the bird, the pili grass, the rock - in
all the world was life, was god, was Aloha. Aloha in its gaiety, its
joy, happiness its abundance.
Because of Aloha, one gave without thought of return, because
of Aloha, one had mana. Aloha had its own mana. It never left
the giver but flowed freely and continuously between giver and
receiver. Aloha could not be thoughtlessly or indiscriminately
spoken for it carried its own power. No Hawaiian could greet
another with Aloha unless he felt it in its own heart. If he felt
anger or hate in his heart, he had to cleanse himself before he
said Aloha.
