The Real Meaning of Pono
December 22, 2009 | 02:46 AM

I am the Kahu of Mother Nature. I can explain Pono, because I embody Pono. When people come to worship at my heiiau at Kukuipuka at Kahakuloa, many weep. It is because they realize that they are surrounded by the mana, the life force, of Mother Nature. The whales swim by, and say hello to us with their ha, their sacred breath of life. That is Pono. I am Pono. Pono is me. Buy my albums. Come to my concerts. Spread the Good Word of Lei'ohu. Wear my t-shirts. I am Maui. Maui is me. I speak for Pele.
