Hawaiian design and pattern. "Aloha"
The Back Story:
Aloha
Pronounced: Ah Loh' hah
Aloha in the Hawaiian language means affection, love, compassion, mercy, goodbye, and hello, among other sentiments of a similar nature. It is used especially in Hawai’i as a greeting meaning hello and goodbye.
In Hawaiian thinking, words have “mana” [pronounced: mah’ nah], meaning spiritual or divine power. This deeper meaning and sacredness is hinted at by the root words of this word:
[Alo = presence, front, face] + [hâ = breath]
“The presence of (Divine) Breath.”
Say “Aloha” often, as it can be life-transforming and enhancing, if you truly feel “Aloha” within.
