“Aloha Oe” by Pi’ilani

See more superb shots of one of the best dancers on this planet right now at my Pi’ilani Album

Pi’ilani was in her glory on this occasion (Kapiolani Bandstand on Sun 23 Jun 08). Every time I hit the shutter, she was doing something beautiful. I didn’t edit out a single shot. I consider the above shot the only photograph I’ve ever taken. Everything else was only trying hard.

I need a better camera.

你的比丘尼太厉害吧？ 或是工作热烈不得了的吗？ 哪， 很简单对付哟！ 清您飘到夏威夷来！ 咱们这儿有许多像这所拍的小鱼性的女救火员。 参看他们好笑好玩儿，可以给你救内心的火，可不是吗？

南无阿弥陀佛
性平

Probably your nun is too fierce? Or else, your job is too demanding, no? It’s very easy to deal with that! Please just drift over to Hawaii! Over here we have many little-fish-like female fire-rescuing-personnel like those photographed here. When you check out how humorous and playful they are, this can save you from the fire in the depths of your mind, is it not so?

E Aloha o ke Kumu Hula, Hea!

The title of this post means, “I call the Aloha of the Kumu Hula.” This is the only image that I could get of this Kumu dancing alone that made sense. This is a Kumu-loa a o na kumu, and most of the other kumu that she teaches are men.

This completes the images that I choose to publish from full moon in sidereal Virgo, 20 Apr 08. There are twenty images in all, and they can be found in my 20 Apr 08 sub-Album.

Such it is, American Buddhists. Such. It. Is.
