This ÿoli was composed by Kawaikapuokalani K. Hewett to be used in any form as seen fit by the user. The focus of this ÿoli was the five values incorporated in the word aloha which are, ákahai, lökahi, ÿoiaÿiÿo, haÿahaÿa and ahonui. (modesty, unity, truth, humility and fortitude.)

These are the values that were mentored to me by my grandparents, Frank Kaÿaialiÿi Känaÿe and Iwa Wahinealiÿi Rowan Känaÿe who raised me in Käneÿohe, Oÿahu. These values were strengthened as I was trained from 1972 until her death in 1980 by Kahuna Emma Defries.

There is an ancient proverb that states, “O ka hühü ka mea i hoÿöla ÿole ai,” it translates, “Anger brings no life.” I was truly impacted by the truth of this ÿölelo noeau and thought to myself that if anger brought forth no life, then what did. The only answer that seemed to make sense was the word aloha. Aloha brings life. So I coined this phrase, “‘O ke aloha ka mea i ho‘öla ai,” love or compassion brings forth life or healing.
