HAPA Hula Experience

[patrickpdxchgo]

A voice on this Earth may be silent but up in Lani will always be heard and even louder. Mahalo Kumu, for the years of enjoyment.

[CMCasey16]

God speed, Kumu Charles Ka'upu. I shall miss your voice of Hapa, and of Maui. May you lift Heaven with your voice, for it was Heaven-sent.

[KazemaruYukawaBacon]

R.I.P... Charles Ka'upu and thank you for the inspirations, the teachings and the laughter you always spread around you! Your voice is heaven sent...may you also be sent there.

Ke Akua Pu Anakala Charles - rest in peace - now you will be chanting from the heavens above for us........

[HotHawaiianNights808]

I AM THE I OWAU NO KA "I" "I" come forth from the void into light, "I" am the breath that nurtures life, "I" am that emptiness, that hollowness beyond all consciousness, The "I", the Id, the All. "I" draw my bow of rainbows across the waters, The continuum of minds with matters. "I" am the incoming and outgoing of breath, The invisible, untouchable breeze, The undefinable atom of creation. "I" am the "I". Owau no ka "I". Aloha ke Akua Charles, Moanalani <3
