Aloha! [ Ah loh’ hah!] – “Greetings!” Aloha `oe! [ah loh’ hah oe!] – May you be loved or greeted! Aloha kâua! [ah loh’ hah KAH’oo (w)ah!] – May there be friendship or love between us! In Hawaiian culture, the spirit of aloha goes well beyond a simple greeting. It is a way of life. As the Hawaiian Code of Conduct dictates: “We shall practice Aloha, the heritage from our ancestors, mindful of the virtues of akahai, lôkahi, `olu`olu, ha`aha`a, and ahonui.” These virtues of modesty, harmony, pleasantness, humility and patience reflect a wholesome lifestyle that embraces the Hawaiian connection of land, water and people. It is an essential bond that aligns good living with the natural bounty of the Hawaiian paradise. As they say in Hawaii, “Malama I kou kino e me kau olakino” …Take care of your body and your health. Enjoy!
