“Awe is my favorite Hawaiian word. The wake of a ship appears as a thin thread and can be detected for hundreds of miles. A lingering fragrance can be an awe. The common aspect of these examples is that an awe connects the object to its source. ʻŌleloÂ鶹´«Ã½ is an awe for many of us, connecting us to our home, our work, even our purpose.”
—Lilinoe Andrews, curriculum specialist, University of Â鶹´«Ã½– West Oʻahu
