Aloha mai kākou e nā hoa pepeiao! Greetings to you Morning Mana'o listeners! Today's Morning Mana'o is an 'ōlelo no'eau, 'A'ohe hana nui ke alu 'ia. No task is too big when shared by all. This 'ōlelo no'eau can apply to us in so many ways. It can apply at work, in sports, in hālau hula, even in our homes. Yesterday we were discussing the importance of sharing the work at home. If you're a parent you know that it can be challenging trying to engage children in work. It's easy for them to make the mess, but cleaning and tidying up the hale can be a tremendous task that comes with whining, questioning, even arguing. I thought of this 'ōlelo no'eau as we were having our discussion. When one person if left with the kuleana it can be overwhelming, but even daunting tasks become easy when shared by all. It reminds us of the importance of team work and the idea of laulima, which translates as cooperation, but literally means "many hands". Yes, many hands working together in harmony and unity makes any task, big or small, so much easier. So remember, 'a'ohe hana nui ke 'alu 'ia, no task is too big when shared by all.
aloha nō, a hui hou . . .
Luana
