You are the daughter of the sea, oregano's first cousin. Swimmer, your body is pure as the water; cook, your blood is quick as the soil. Everything you do is full of flowers, rich with the earth. Your eyes go out toward the water, and the waves rise; your hands go out to the earth and the seeds swell; you know the deep essence of water and the earth... ~Pablo Neruda

  1. Wonderful poem! You guys are such a breath of fresh air to Hana! Thank you so much for doing such a beautiful thing for the community- for the outreach that Ulani is doing, for giving locals extra spending money, for teaching a love of the aina, and for doing it with a SMILE. MAHALO NUI LOA for your ALOHA, MALAMA AINA, and KOKUA. May AKUA bless all of you.

    Aloha nui loa- I second what Lehua says- a BIG mahalo to all of you! I would love to have Rebekah be one of the speakers at this years Maui Soil Conference, ( I saw you speak on Kauai) and we are doing a farm tour of the farms on the backside. So, if you could check our our website mauigrown.org
    and get in touch with Vincent Mina that would be fantastic. And keep spreading the love, Aloha.
