E kū pa‘a ‘oe ma ka pono a hiki i ka make, a Na‘u nō e hā‘awi aku iā ‘oe i ka lei o ke ola. E hele koke mai nō Au; e mālama ‘oe i kāu mea i loa‘a ai, o lawe aku auane‘i kekahi i kou lei ali‘i. Hō‘ike ‘ana II:10b, III:11 Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. Revelation 2:10b, 3:11

ILINA WAI (“ground-spring” or “underground stream”) is a Hawai‘i Bilingual sponsored monthly, moving spiritual and artistic vigil that began on April 30, 2009 at Mauna ‘Ala (the Royal Mausoleum) and will be observed at the end of each month until an Official Languages Act similar to Canada's and Ireland's is adopted by the Hawai‘i State Legislature, effectively confirming an end of the era of Hawaiian cultural genocide. Cultivation of Honolulu’s bilingual creative culture is instrumental in articulating Hawai‘i Bilingual’s vision, and since members of the Honolulu Symphony (America’s oldest symphonic society west of the Mississippi River) have endured more than four months without pay, and several members have already quit, PŌ ILINA WAI will increase Hawaiian bilingual English – Hawaiian social & cultural awareness among and beyond the Hawaiian speaking community while supporting Honolulu’s professional musical society by holding monthly bilingually presented chamber music concerts. Attendees will bring a portable chair and drinks to share to Fresh Café at 831 Queen Street in Kaka‘ako, where ample free parking is available. $15 tickets to this event may be purchased at Fresh Café prior to the gathering. ________________________________________________________________________ For more information: http://www.causes.com/h2o
