Be Mindful of Your Surroundings December 18 2014
He ‘ai make ka uhi.
The yam is the food of death. The yam grows downward in the ground, instead of upward like the taro. When a person digs for yams, he has to be on the watch lest while digging with head down low an enemy strike him on the back of the neck and kill him.
Young Warrior-
Never be so caught up in your enemy that you do not see what else is going on around you. Always be mindful of what is going on for there are others who walk this earth, so be aware of what is going on around you. Always remember to look up from your work and see how your work is intertwined with the rest of the world. For if you do not know your place in this world and how you make this a better place, you will lose touch with others and you will be no longer intertwined with the rest. Be concious of others while doing your work. #hawaii
