Kā ka luna hoʻoponopono noka: Unuhi ʻia na N. Haʻalilio Solomon. Click here to read this article in English. 

ʻOiai ke kiaʻāina e hoʻopau aʻela i nā lula komo pale nuku, ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea e ʻae ʻia ai ʻo kānaka e kaʻi hele me ka pale nuku ʻole ma kahi kaupoku ʻole, me he mea lā ke hiki pono nei nō paha kākou i kahi e holomua ai i loko o kēia wā pupule.

He mea maoli ka ʻīnea, a ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻopunipuni ʻole: ʻaʻole nō i kaulike ʻia mai ia ʻīnea ma luna o nā kaiāulu a pau. He keu kēia a ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ke nānā aku i ka ʻoihana hoʻonaʻauao.

I nā luna hoʻonaʻauao i pupuāhulu aʻela i ka hoʻomākaukau i ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana ma ke ʻano kū kaʻawale mamao i loko o ka wā o ka maʻi ahulau i hōlapu hele ai i ka makahiki nei me ke ʻano kūoʻo, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, he hana nui kaumaha aʻe ka lawelawe ʻana i ia ʻano nohona hou no kekahi mau ʻohana.

ʻAʻole nō loaʻa i nā kamaliʻi a pau he lolo uila i noa iā ia ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lā a pō ke ao. ʻO kekahi o lākou, ua nele i kahi ʻole e noho ai e kia ka manaʻo ma luna o ke kula pūnaewele. He lehulehu kohu ʻole hoʻi ka nui o nā kaiāulu kuaʻāina i nele i ka ʻole o ka pūnaewele hoʻouka wikiwiki i paʻa kona pili ʻana.

ʻAʻole hoʻi i hiki i nā mākua a pau ke lawelawe i ka ʻoihana ma ka hale nō, ka noho ʻana ma kauhale, a hoʻoluhi aku i kekahi mea nāna e mālama i nā keiki i ka wā e pani ana nā kula.

ʻO ka maʻū nō hoʻi, ʻo ia ka hōʻike ʻana mai ma kēia makahiki i hala no ka nui o ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā ʻano hoʻonaʻauao ma muli o ke kaulike ʻole o nā pono pili kanaka. ʻO kekahi papahana hou a ko ka mokuʻāina kuhina hoʻoponopono, he mea nō hoʻi paha ia e lana ai ka manaʻo i kona hoʻoponopono ʻana i ia pilikia.

I kēia malama, , ʻo ia ka mea i manaʻo ʻia nāna e “hoʻolako mai i mau kumu hoʻolalelale a pūʻulu kālā hoʻi i nā ʻahahui a kula e hana nei me ka maʻalea e pane pololei ai i ka maʻi ahulau a me ka waele ʻana hoʻi, ma ke ʻano nui, i ala e hoʻololi a kūkulu hou ʻia ai ka hoʻonaʻauao.”

ʻO nā mea e loaʻa iā lākou ka pūʻulu kālā, ʻo ia nā ʻahahui kūloko hoʻonaʻauao, nā kulanui aʻo kiʻekiʻe, a me nā hui hoʻonaʻauao ʻē aʻe (e like me nā kula aupuni, charter, a kūʻokoʻa hoʻi) a e loaʻa ana nō iā lākou ma waena o ka $100,000 a me $500,000 e hoʻokaʻa ai i nā papahana maʻalea e hoʻoponopono ʻia ai nā hopena i loaʻa aʻe mai ke COVID-19 mai ma luna o nā haumāna, ʻohana, a kumu hoʻi ma Hawaiʻi. Ua hiki ke lilo aku kēia mau kālā i mea hoʻowaiwai no ka poʻe i pono i nā waiwai ʻōnaepuni i mea e kaulike ai ka loaʻa o ka hoʻonaʻauao i nā ʻāuna haumāna like ʻole.

He ʻike nō hoʻi nā kaiāulu i nā kumu o ko lākou pilikia, a e pono ke hoʻolako ʻia lākou i nā pono e hoʻoponopono ai. Na ka maʻi ahulau i hōʻike mai i mau kumu alakaʻi he nui, e like me nā panakō mea ʻai i ka hoʻolako ʻai ʻana i nā ʻohana i nele i ka lawa ʻole. Ronen Zilberman/Civil Beat/2020

Ka Hana Maʻalea Kaiāulu

Ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka hana maʻalea, aia nō he mau ʻahahui kaiāulu e lawe nei i nā papahana kupaianaha. , he ʻahahui kālepa ʻole i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka makahiki 2013, ʻo kona pahuhopu nui ke aʻo ʻana i nā keiki i ka haku ʻōlelo lolo uila.

Ua ulu a mōhāhā aʻela hoʻi ia ʻahahui mai ia manawa mai, nāna e hoʻolako mai i nā ʻano polokalamu lolo uila like ʻole he nui e hui pū ʻia ai ka ʻenehana a me ka moʻomeheu, pēlā e hoʻoulu ʻia ai nā ʻōpio e lilo aku i “mau kānaka haku ʻenehana a wehe pilikia, me ko lākou ʻike kū i ka moʻomeheu, lawelawe hana no ke kaiāulu hoʻi.”

ʻO nā ʻahahui kaiāulu e like me ia, ʻo lākou nō paha ke kī e wehe ai nā pilikia ʻo ke kaulike ʻole o nā pono. He akamai nō nā kaiāulu. He ʻike nō hoʻi lākou i nā kumu o ko lākou pilikia, ʻike pū nō hoʻi i nā mea e wehe ai. Maopopo nō iā lākou ke ʻano e huliāmahi lōkahi ai ʻo lākou iho.

Ua ʻike nō kākou i ia ʻano he mau manawa hoʻi i kēlā makahiki nei i hala. ʻO ka huliāmahi koke ʻana aʻe o nā kaiāulu e hānai a kākoʻo aku ai kekahi i kekahi, ʻoiai ke aupuni e noho ʻoni ʻole ana.

Ma ke ʻano pinepine kūpono ʻole, ʻo nā ālaina e puka ʻole ai, ʻo ia ka pākulekele, ʻaʻole ia ʻo ka nele i ka ʻike maʻalea ʻole a puaʻi manaʻo paha. Ma ke ʻano pinepine i like akula, ʻo ka pilikia ka lawa ʻole o ka pūʻulu kālā e kākoʻo ai i nā papahana a mea wehe pilikia e alakaʻi ʻia ana e ke kaiāulu.

Kōkua Ma Ka Wā COVID-19 Me Nā Loli ʻAna Ma Loko Lilo O Ka ʻŌnaehana

Ua hoʻokumu mai hoʻi paha ka maʻi ahulau COVID-19 he mau ālaina i ʻike ʻole ʻia ma mua aʻe, he minamina maoli naʻe ke loaʻa ʻole pū mai he mau manawa e makepono ai auaneʻi. E pono loa ana hoʻi ke hoʻoneʻe pololei aku ʻo Ige i nā pūʻulu kālā ma loko o nā kula a me nā kaiāulu no ka puaʻi manaʻo ʻano maʻalea.

E pono hoʻi ke ʻae ʻo ia iā , nāna e hoʻomāhelehele i nā kālā he $29.7 miliona ma ke ʻano he kālā hōʻeuʻeu, ʻo ia hoʻi he $2,200 no nā kānaka pākahi ma loko o ka ʻoihana hoʻonauaʻao. Ma hope o hoʻokahi makahiki o ka hōʻeleu ʻana i ka manaʻo o nā haumāna ma luna o ka Zoom, ʻo nā kālā he $2,200 ka ʻuʻuku loa e mahalo ai kākou i nā kumu hoʻonaʻauao.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, he hilahila maoli ka paio ʻana ma luna o kēia heluna kālā. Aia nō ko kākou mau kumu hoʻonaʻauao, he emi ʻino ke kālā e uku ʻia ai lākou, he emi pū hoʻi ko lākou mahalo ʻia ʻana. I ko kākou kamaʻilio ʻana i ke kākoʻo ʻana i nā kumu hoʻolalelale kaiāulu, e pono ke komo pū mai no ka nui o kona waiwai, ʻo ka hoʻolako ʻana i nā waiwai a kumu waiwai no ko kākou poʻe kumu hoʻonaʻauao.

I loko naʻe o kona nui waiwai i ʻaneʻane lawa ʻole, ʻo ka $2,200 ka mea e lohe ʻia ai ka manaʻo nui, he māhele waiwai ko kākou mau kumu hoʻonaʻauao no kēia kaiāulu. E pono kākou ke hōʻoia aku, ua ʻike nō nā kumu, he mahalo ʻia a aloha ʻia nō lākou.

He pono hoʻi ke ʻike nā kaiāulu, he mahalo ʻia a aloha ʻia nō lākou.

Nui nō ka hauwalaʻau ʻana no ke “kūkulu hou ʻana i mea e maikaʻi aʻe ai.” ʻO kahi e hoʻomaka ai kākou no ia ʻano, ʻo ka hoʻopukapuka ʻana i nā kaiāulu, nā papahana, a me nā kānaka, ʻo lākou hoʻi nā hōʻailona no ka ʻaoʻao ʻoi aku o ka maikaʻi o kākou.

Ua kākoʻo ʻia kēia papahana e ka ʻOhana o Harry Nathaniel, Levani Lipton, ka ʻOhana Mar, a me Lisa Kleissner.
