ʻO wai ka mea e ʻōlelo nei, "E lawe mai, e Makuahine Honua!"

ʻAuē, ka pou hae hanohano. He hōʻailona o ke aloha ʻāina a me ka haʻaheo aupuni. Kū kiʻekiʻe a haʻaheo ia, e peahi ana i ka hae o kona ʻāina i ka makani. Akā, ua kū anei ʻoe e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka pou hae ponoʻī? ʻO ke pou hae ma waho. He ʻāpana ʻenekinia hoihoi loa ia, inā ʻoe e nīnau mai iaʻu.

ʻO ka mea mua, e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i ke kiʻekiʻe. Hiki i nā pou hae o waho ke piʻi i nā kiʻekiʻe kupaianaha, ʻo kekahi he 100 kapuaʻi a ʻoi aku paha. ʻOi aku ke kiʻekiʻe ma mua o kou hale he ʻumi papahele maʻamau! Pono kekahi ʻenekinia koʻikoʻi e hōʻoia i ka hiolo ʻole ʻana o kahi pou hae kiʻekiʻe i ka ʻino. Ua like ia me ka Hale Kiaʻi Hilinaʻi o Pisa, akā ma kahi o ke hilinaʻi ʻana, ua kiʻekiʻe loa ia.

Akā, ʻaʻole wale ke kiʻekiʻe e kupaianaha ai. Pono nā pou hae o waho e kū i kekahi makani ikaika. E noʻonoʻo he hae ʻoe, e lele ana i loko o kahi makani ʻino. He kaumaha nui kēlā ma luna o ka pou hae kahiko. Akā, mai makaʻu, no ka mea, ua hoʻolālā ʻia kēia mau keikikāne maikaʻi ʻole e lawelawe i ka wikiwiki o ka makani a hiki i 150 mile i kēlā me kēia hola. Ua like ia me kahi makani ʻino mahele 4! Ua like ia me ka ʻōlelo ʻana o ka pou hae, "E lawe mai, e Makuahine ʻĀina!"

A mai poina kākou i ke kaʻina hana hoʻokomo. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopili wale i kahi pou hae i ka lepo a hoʻopau i ka hana. ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole, ʻaʻole. Pono ia i kahi ʻeli nui, ka ninini ʻana i ka sima, a me ka nui o ka hana e hoʻokū pololei ai i kēlā keiki ʻino. Ua like ia me ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi hale kiaʻi liʻiliʻi, akā me ka liʻiliʻi o ke kila a me nā hōkū a me nā kaha.

I ka hopena, ʻike ʻia paha he maʻalahi nā pou hae o waho ma ka ʻili, akā he mea kupanaha ia o ka ʻenekinia a me ka hoʻolālā. No laila, i ka manawa aʻe e ʻike ai ʻoe i kekahi e peahi ana i ka makani, e hoʻokaʻawale i kahi manawa e mahalo ai i ka hana nui a me ke akamai i hoʻokomo ʻia i mea e kū kiʻekiʻe ai a haʻaheo. A inā ʻoe e manaʻo nei he aloha ʻāina maoli, e hāʻawi aku paha iā ia i kahi aloha.

E ʻoluʻolue nīnau iā mākouinā he mau nīnau kāu e pili ana i kā mākou huahana.
